Bricks, whether lined up, stacked, or combined, are making a bold statement in modern design. Breaking away from their traditional roles, they now shine as the stars of the show. The Vibes collection, with its playful shapes, transforms these simple elements into stunning exhibition pieces. Geometric patterns create effects that are both ultra-sophisticated and delightfully informal. Bricks have become the cornerstone of both residential and commercial interiors. As if part of a grand construction game, they are arranged in striking graphic patterns to form contemporary murals. When paired with luxurious materials like brass, marble, or stone, they create a complex symphony of volumes and textures. This dynamic exploration of space, modularity, and repetition unleashes a wave of positive energy, making your space truly unique.
What is the difference between floor tile and wall tile?
Floor tile is rated to handle foot traffic and has a higher hardness rating (PEI). Wall tile is thinner and lighter and is not designed to be walked on. Floor tile can usually be used on walls, but wall tile should never go on the floor.
What PEI rating do I need for my room?
PEI 3 is fine for most residential floors. Entryways, kitchens, and commercial spaces should use PEI 4 or 5. Walls and backsplashes only need PEI 1 or 2. We will steer you to the right rating when you visit our Edmonton showroom.
Can tile be installed over radiant in-floor heat?
Yes. Porcelain and ceramic tile are excellent over radiant heat because they conduct warmth evenly. Just make sure to follow the heating system manufacturer's ramp-up guidelines after grouting.
How long does tile installation take?
A typical bathroom or entryway runs two to four days, accounting for layout, setting, grout cure, and sealing. Larger kitchens and basements take longer. Our installer will give you an accurate timeline with your quote.
How do I clean and maintain tile floors?
Sweep regularly and damp-mop with a mild neutral cleaner. Avoid acidic or harsh chemicals on natural stone or grout. Re-sealing grout every couple of years keeps it looking new.
