Granite & Tile

Tile is a fantastic product to bring color and depth to your home. Finding the right tile for you is dependent on several factors.

The first thing you should consider is the type and use of the room/area you will be tiling. If the area is a formal dining area, formal living area or grand foyer, marble or limestone are traditional choices. However, if your lifestyle and home are more on the casual side, look toward ceramic, travertine, slate or terra cotta, flooring options that tend to be a bit more warm and forgiving.

Don’t forget the importance of proper sealing!  Porous natural stone products must be sealed properly to prevent staining from water stains, spilled spaghetti sauce, pets, crayons, and any other potential culprits.

 When finalizing your choice, take into consideration what flooring materials are used in the rooms that will border your newly tiled area. This factor will affect the color and pattern choice and determine the necessary transitional pieces for your project.
