Today the options in tile and its uses are unlimited! From the traditional ceramic and porcelain tiles to the elegant options in vinyl, tile today can provide you with about any visual effect you desire while providing durability options that range from low traffic to the toughest commercial requirements.

CERAMIC TILE

For centuries, ceramic tile has been ideal flooring for homes. Among the most durable of flooring surfaces, tile also proves to offer an amazing array of design flooring possibilities. Ceramic tile is a mixture of clays and minerals that has been shaped, pressed, then fired at temperatures exceeding 2,000 degrees (F), resulting in a hard surface. The protective glaze that is applied before firing gives the ceramic tile added color and finish and makes it resistant to stains, odors, bacteria, and scratches.

PORCELAIN TILE

Porcelain tile is a type of ceramic made of a very fine mixture of clays and minerals similar to those found in fine dinnerware. These special clays allow porcelain tile to be fired at temperatures even higher than ceramic tile, typically exceeding 2,400 degrees (F). The higher temperature results in a very dense tile. And the denser a tile, the better it resists moisture.

STONE TILE

Stone tiles are available in about any size configuration and look that the designing mind desires. At Gustafson Floor Source we can meet your needs.

GROUT

Grout, the cement and sand-based product that is applied between tiles to fill the joints, can be an extremely effective decorating element. Shaw offers 46 distinct grout colors. With each tile installation, you can alter the look, simply by...

Coordinating grout color, for a uniform look
Contrasting grout color, which will emphasize the tile pattern-designer color, for a completely unique installation.
Varying the size of your grout line, from barely visible up to half an inch.

Variations in size, color, texture, and pattern not only should be expected in ceramic flooring, they should be enjoyed. This distinguishing characteristic of tile is a source of its natural beauty. For a neat, contemporary-looking tile floor, choose a tile with a low shade and texture rating. A tile with a high or random shade and texture rating will achieve a more casual, rustic effect.

Gustafson Floor Source sales and installation personnel stand ready to help you achieve the visual effect that you seek!
