About Tile

Why Tile Flooring

Tile is very popular because of its limitless potential throughout your home, office, restaurant or outdoor space. You’ll love tile in a kitchen or bathroom as well as in a basement or even on your patio! Choose from ceramic or porcelain tile as well as various types of stone including marble, slate, travertine, and more.

Ceramic & Porcelain Tile

Ceramic tile is molded from clay, pressed, and heated under extreme pressure. It is often made from white, red, and brown clay mixed with minerals. Porcelain tile is the same in this regard, except its makeup includes feldspar. This is a type of crystal that takes on a glossy, glass-like look.

Tile Care & Maintenance

Tile is extremely easy to care for, and it’s very durable, too. However, it does still require some regular care and maintenance.

Preparing for Installation

When it comes to a successful and efficient carpet installation, preparation is essential. First, move all furniture out of the room. If you have heavy items that require special care, it’s a good idea to hire professional movers and storage experts. Hiring professionals can also cut down on the amount of time you have to live without your furniture while waiting for your carpet installation to be finished.

During & After Installation

A member of your household who is at least 18 or older should be available to greet the installation crew and show them to the work area. For everyone’s safety, keep children and pets away from the work area until the job is done. Feel free to ask your lead installer any questions you might have about the finished product. Once your new carpet is installed, it’s up to you to keep it looking and feeling its best for the long haul! Incorporate some daily care and preventative maintenance steps that the entire family can follow. Learn more!

Daily care & Maintenance

Tile is popular in homes and in commercial environments alike because of how durable and easy to clean it is. To keep your flooring looking its best, however, consider incorporating a minimal amount of daily care and maintenance. That’s all it takes, and your flooring will thank you! For tile, not a lot of care is needed. Tile is, after all, loved for its simplicity! You should still vacuum, sweep, and mop your flooring as needed to keep it looking brand new and polished. You may also want to use steam cleaning.

Dealing with spills

When dealing with common liquid-based stills, such as wine and pet accidents, you’ll want to wipe them away immediately or wet mop your floor. Tile can get very slippery when wet, so make sure you dry your floor right away! With tougher stains such as wax or oil or a chemical-based stain, refer to your manufacturer’s cleaning guidelines. When using cleaning products, make sure they do not contain acid, vinegar, chlorine, or ammonia, as this can damage or discolor the grout as well as the tile’s surface.
