Have a tile flooring-related question? We have the answer! Check out our FAQs below to learn more about our company and services.

  • What's the difference between ceramic tiles and porcelain?

    The fundamental difference between ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles is in the technology behind their production.   


    Porcelain is more homogeneous, dense, glassy, and durable than classical ceramics. It's also less porous, so it has a very low water absorption index, making it even more durable. Porcelain glazes are also known for a wider range of colors, complemented by rich and unique appearances.           


    Ceramics, on the other hand, consist of a mixture of clay and minerals. Due to minor variations and irregularities, more interesting aesthetic results can occur. Our deep knowledge of tile flooring makes us one of the top tile stores in the area. Contact us today to get started.

  • Can tiles be painted?

    Yes, but not with just any paint. In the case of waterproof and smooth surfaces, the paint should be highly adhesive. Consequently, tile stores and manufacturers typically recommend epoxy paint.

  • Are ceramic tiles non-slip?

    To know whether a tile is anti-slip or not, it's important to know its coefficient of dynamic friction, which is the slip resistance index. The anti-slip factor is very important for floor tiles. It's denoted by the letter "R." The higher this factor, the “rougher” and more slip-resistant the tile is. Our ceramic tile products and custom designs are hard for other tile stores to beat. Call us today to learn more or get started with a free showroom consultation.

  • Can floor tiles be placed on walls, or can wall tiles be placed on the floor?

    In most cases, wall tiles aren't appropriate for the floor for a variety of reasons. They may be more slippery or less water-resistant than a floor tile needs to be.


    Although most wall tiles can't be used on the floor, most floor tiles can be used on the wall as long as the wall can bear the weight of the tile. If you're looking for tile stores with a wide range of tile options to explore, we're a great choice. Reach out to us today to get started.

  • Can I place tiles on existing tiles?

    Usually, yes, but only if the surface below is placed correctly and isn't broken. However, this is generally not the smartest option, as you may have higher costs later. Keep in mind that the height of the room will be slightly reduced, and you'll have to change how the door opens. Call us today to learn more from one of the top tile stores you can rely on.
