Tiles are made from natural materials like clay, sand, and minerals, then fired at high temperatures. With added glazes and finishes, they gain strength, beauty, and durability. We’ve perfected this craft since 1994, creating tiles that stand the test of time and trends.

While both ceramic and porcelain tiles are made from clay, porcelain tiles are denser, less porous, and fired at higher temperatures. This makes porcelain more durable and water-resistant, great for high-traffic areas or outdoor spaces. Ceramic tiles, meanwhile, offer incredible design versatility and are perfect for walls and indoor floors.

Tiles are incredibly versatile! You can use them on floors, walls, kitchen backsplashes, bathrooms, and even swimming pools. With the right style and finish, tiles can bring both beauty and functionality to almost any space.

It depends on the look you’re going for! Larger tiles (like 24"x24") can make small rooms feel more spacious, while smaller tiles add intricate detail to backsplashes or accent walls. We’re happy to guide you based on your space, style, and how you want the final design to feel.

Quality comes down to factors such as durability, water absorption rate, finish, and even the precision of tile edges. A good rule of thumb is to check the tile’s grade (Grade 1 being top quality) and PEI rating. We ensure that every batch of tiles meets stringent quality standards before they reach you.

Tiles are refreshingly low-maintenance! Regular sweeping or vacuuming, followed by a mop with mild detergent, keeps them looking new. For grout lines, an occasional scrub with a soft brush and a gentle cleaner will do the trick. Avoid harsh chemicals, and your tiles will shine for years.
