Tile Installation
Whether using our wood, ceramic or porcelain tiles, make sure the surface on which the tile is applied is level and ready for installation. An adhesive, such as thin-set or mastic is then applied to the substrate with a trowel and the tile is laid on it. After the area dries, the tile is then grouted. For our wood tile, we recommend a sanded grout. Some tiles can benefit from being sealed before grouting to prevent grout film from adhering to the tile.

Many variables factor into pricing of larger projects. That’s why we customize pricing for each commercial job – ensuring you get the best available.
