"David was very helpful and accommodating when trying to sort out a day to lay our carpet. We will definitely be going back to him to carpet our whole house when we build next year!"
Q: What is the difference between 'ceramic' and porcelain tiles? A:
Kiln-fired clay and clay mix tiles can be split into two groups:
porcelain and non-porcelain (the latter often called 'ceramic'). 'Ceramic' or non-porcelain tiles
are almost always finished with a durable glaze which carries the color and
pattern. These tiles are suitable for very light to moderate traffic.Glazed porcelain tiles are more wear and damage
resistant, making them suitable for any
application from light traffic to the heaviest residential and light commercial
traffic.
Q: How do I care for my tiled floor? A: This depends on the type of tile you choose.
Generally speaking, our floor tiles can be mopped regularly with tile cleaners.
There’s no need for strong and expensive acidic cleaners you buy from the
supermarket shelf. Q: Do my tiles need to be sealed? A: Possibly, depending on the product you choose.
Typically, natural products, quarry tiles, and some porcelain tiles need to be
protected with a sealer. Most glazed products, with a standard ceramic surface,
do not need to be sealed.
Q: Can I tile over my existing tiles or vinyl? A: You sure can, however you should ensure that you are
satisfied that the substrate you are tiling over is sound and secure. The tile
job will only be as durable and as good as the substrate you are tiling over.
