  • Can I install tiles over the existing flooring?

    Yes, however, it's essential to ensure that the existing floor is stable, clean, and in good condition. Consult with us for advice based on your specific situation.

  • How do I choose the right grout color for my tiles?

    Consider the overall aesthetic you want. Matching grout to the tile color creates a seamless look whereas contrasting grout can highlight individual tiles. We recommend sample testing.

  • What is the best way to clean and maintain tile floors?

    Sweep and mop regularly with a mild detergent for maintenance. Try to avoid harsh chemicals. Use a soft mop to prevent scratches. Sealing grout lines helps to resist stains in tile flooring.

  • What types of wood flooring are available, and how do they differ?

    Types of wood include solid hardwood, luxury vinyl plank (LVP), engineered wood, and laminate. Solid hardwood is made from a single piece of wood. Engineered wood consists of layers. Laminate is a composite material that has a wood look.

  • Can I install wood flooring in every room of my home?

    While hardwood is popular, it is not recommended for high-moisture spaces like bathrooms. Engineered wood is a better option for areas prone to moisture.

  • Is it possible to install wood flooring over a concrete subfloor?

    Yes, engineered wood flooring is fine for installation over concrete. Be sure to use a moisture barrier and follow the manufacturer's guidelines for installation.

  • How do I maintain and clean wood floors to keep them looking their best?

    Regular sweeping and vacuuming and occasional damp mopping are effective for floor maintenance. Use a manufacturer-recommended cleaner by the flooring manufacturer and avoid excessive moisture.

  • Can I refinish my wood floors if they become scratched or worn?

    Yes, solid hardwood floors can be sanded and refinished multiple times to remove scratches and renew the finish. Engineered wood has a thinner wear layer that limits the number of refinishes.

  • What are the benefits of choosing a custom tile shower over a prefabricated shower unit?

    Custom tile showers offer unique design flexibility so you can personalize your shower space. They are more durable and can enhance the overall aesthetics of your bathroom.

  • What types of tiles are suitable for custom shower installations?

    Porcelain and ceramic tiles are popular choices because of their water-resistant properties. Natural stone tiles like marble or travertine can also be used for an upscale look. Proper sealing is essential.
