Ceramic and porcelain tile set to Tile Council of North America guidelines, with full mortar coverage built to last for years.
Tile is set into a bed of notch-trowelled thin-set mortar over a cement backer board or uncoupling membrane — not directly on plywood — then grouted once the mortar cures. That extra layer is what keeps tile from cracking as the subfloor flexes.
The only flooring here truly built for wet areas — bathrooms, showers, laundry, mudrooms — without a special waterproof core.
Porcelain and ceramic resist scratches, stains, and fading better than almost any other flooring material.
No fibers to trap dirt or allergens, wipes clean, and doesn't hold onto odors.
Sizes, patterns, and finishes from classic subway tile to large-format, wood-look, or natural stone porcelain.
Pairs well with in-floor heating and is a well-regarded upgrade buyers notice in kitchens and baths.
On wood subfloors, we start with a cement backer board or uncoupling membrane — tile doesn't flex, so without that layer any movement in the subfloor underneath eventually shows up as a cracked tile or grout line. Thin-set mortar is then troweled over that layer, and the tiles are spaced evenly with plastic spacers while it's still workable.
Once the mortar cures, the joints between tiles are filled with grout, which locks everything in place and keeps moisture from getting underneath. We follow Tile Council of North America (TCNA) guidelines for mortar coverage — full coverage in wet areas like showers, not just dabs at the corners — and choose the right grout for the space, including epoxy grout where stain or moisture resistance really matters.
The space sees real moisture — bathrooms, showers, laundry, entryways.
