Hard surface
Tile & Stone
Durable surfaces with near-endless scale, pattern, texture, and indoor–outdoor possibilities.
The starting point
What to know.
Tile and stone selections involve more than appearance. Format, finish, grout, substrate, slip resistance, and movement all matter to a lasting installation—especially in wet or exterior areas.
Often a good fit for
- Kitchens and baths
- Entries and high-traffic rooms
- Showers and feature walls
- Florida indoor–outdoor living
Look beyond the sample
Three details that matter.
Products that look similar can perform very differently. These are useful topics to discuss before narrowing a selection.
Scale & layout
Tile size, pattern, grout width, and room geometry should be planned together.
Surface & setting
Finish, slip resistance, substrate preparation, and setting materials must suit the location.
Questions worth asking
Before you choose.
- Is the surface wet, exterior, or exposed to direct sun?
- What maintenance level feels realistic?
- Does the structure support the chosen material and format?
