A rectified tile refers to the edge treatment of the tile. Rectified tiles have clean, precise edges which give your tile installation that seamless and uniform look.
Tile floors are known for being low-maintenance and water-resistant. Maintenance and floor care are easy when done routinely. Basic maintenance entails sweeping and vacuuming to remove dirt, dust and debris. Avoid any floor cleaning products that contain bleach, acid, oil and wax.
Your tile flooring will last for several decades if properly maintained and cared for. Practice a routine dry and mopping regimen to extend the lifespan of your floors.
Tile flooring is timeless when properly maintained, cleaned and sealed. However, damaged or cracked tiles should be replaced. Stained or outdated tiles should eventually be replaced to quickly bring your home or business back in-style.
If you are looking for an affordable, easy to install floor tile, then ceramic tiling is right for you. However, if you are interested in investing a bit more money for a tile option that is denser, water and stain resistant, then porcelain tiles are exactly what you are looking for.
Both ceramic and porcelain tiles are great quality flooring options. They both are durable and easy to care for. For help deciding which tile option is appropriate for your location, give us a call. One of our specialists will guide you through the selection process. We will explain the difference in composition and which tile will best suit your specific needs.
The main difference between a glazed and unglazed tile is the finishing coating. Glazed tiles, unlike unglazed, have a top surface coat and come in a variety of colors, textures, styles and patterns. Glazed tiles are also waterproof and non-porous. Unglazed tiles come in earthy and natural tones and are denser. However, unglazed tiles are more vulnerable to stains but more slip resistant than glazed tiles.
Tiles are a versatile flooring and surface option. They are suited for most locations. Tiles can be used on walls, showers, backsplashes, kitchen and bathroom floors and countertops, fireplaces and hearths as well as outdoor areas.
A PEI (Porcelain Enamel Institute) rating is used to determine the characteristic properties (durability, thickness, resistance to wear) of tiles. It is also used as a guide for determining the best tile option for specific locations.
The difference between wall and floor tile is defined by their characteristics (hardness, durability and resistance to wear). Typically, for floor tile, you will need a stronger, more resistant material, such as ceramic or porcelain. As for wall tile, you will require a less dense, less thick and glazed finished tile.
Unlike indoor tiles, outdoor tiles are made to withstand and endure conditions, such as weather and temperature. They are finished with a textured surface to enhance traction and withstand wear and tear, cracking, and freezing.

EXCELLENT Based on 34 reviews Kristen Wilson2025-01-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Reliable with answering the phone, showing up for estimate, scheduling job, and completing job! He did exactly what we asked and better than we expected! He has such an attention to detail and takes pride in his work! Josh Littleton2024-12-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike and his crew were professional and did quality work. I picked out my own materials and he even advised me on why certain things would or would not work. In the end, this helped me make a better backsplash tile selection. They were even a bull to fit us into their schedule at a time that was convenient for us. Overall, I definitely recommend this company. Benjamin White2024-11-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best this side of the Mississippi and the other. Great old fashioned customer service. Wouldn't go elsewhere bob saget2024-10-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike is one of the best to work with, very nice and straight forward with quality. His crew are friendly and very interactive with the customer. They keep the project clean before and after it is completed. If you are looking for a project done right, then look no further CERAMIC SOLUTIONS. I cannot say enough good things about my experience, they have done multiple projects for me and will be the only company my family will use period. If you read this review to the end, then you are like me, you care about quality and do your research and fan through fake reviews and you want a company that knows what they are doing. Call them and you won't regret it. Thanx , Cory + Kayla England Thanx for your time Cory Nikki Pedersen2024-10-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Awesome!!!
