Here are 8 interesting facts and tips about tiling in your home:

1. Tiles can be made from ceramic, porcelain, glass, metal, and stone.
2. Tiles can be as small as ¼ inch or as large as 65 inches. The size is up to you!
3. The phrase “Big rooms need big tiles” is not always true. Analyze your room as a whole, understand what it needs and find the freedom in your array of options.
4. Lengthen a small room by embedding mosaic-tile paths in your high traffic areas. Allow the color of your path to contrast the solid colors on your floor.
5. Tiles are available in unique shapes like basket weave, herringbone, oval and wedge shapes? Make your floors unique by incorporating these different styles.
6. Advantages of tile: design versatility, environmentally-friendly, durability, and ease of maintenance
7. Tile calls to the artist in us: create a unique look by inserting hand-painted medallion pieces into your floor pattern.
8. Tile can bring history into your home. The romantic styling of the Victorian (or even Renaissance) age can be incorporated into your room by flooring with small mosaic tiles.
