"After several years the tiles around our gas fireplace had become loose and the grout was crumbling. Five Tiles came to take a look the day after I called, and were able to safely remove the loose tiles and determine and repair the problem with the backing. They gave us a very reasonable price and were able to complete the job quickly. The grout looks amazing! I recommend the high quality work that Five Tiles did for our home!"
"I would give them 10 stars if I could. Jeff and his team did our new office in Old City Hall for both carpet and tile. They did a great job laying down several different kinds of carpet tiles, and also traditional tiling. He was fair and transparent in his pricing. Much more so than other commercial installers. Jeff was a great communicator throughout the process. Iâ d work with him again should the opportunity arise."
""I couldn’t be happier with the work they did on my tile installation. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and dedication to perfection were unmatched. From start to finish, they were punctual, and committed to ensuring every tile was perfectly placed. The result exceeded my expectations and transformed the space into something truly stunning. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-quality tile work!"
"The team at Floorcoverings NW communicated with me through the whole process and were able to finish the tile in the bathroom and carpet in the basement in the time frame we discussed."
"Alex was right on time every time that we made an arrangement. He kept in touch by text very efficiently. He did the job very well and stayed at my house until the job was finished, about 6pm at night. He gave me a set price and did not charge by the hour. He cleaned up well after painting."
"We discussed designs for our family room. She was easy to work with and everything was done through email. We sent Jill details about the room and photos. She understood things well, sent us back ideas and a few room plans. We didn’t use her ideas but they were valuable for us for other perspectives. The deal was exactly what we expected."
Natural stone floors, especially pebble-style tiling, are one of the least slippery options for a shower floor. Natural stone has a texture to reduce slickness, and pebble-shaped tiles add more visual and textural contrast while reducing slippage. Vinyl tiles are also designed with anti-slip texture for added safety. If you have a slippery tile, be sure to add a grippy shower mat to reduce the risk of falls.
The number of shower niches you need (or want) depends on the size of the shower and how many bathroom products you plan on storing. If you keep it simple with just soap and shampoo, the one shower niche will probably do the trick. But if you’re adding scrubs and soaks, you may need to think about installing two or more.
Yes, but you’ll have to use some other type of tool to avoid damaging the tile and possibly injuring yourself. Some alternatives to tile cutters include a glass cutter, angle grinder, and wet saw. Depending on the tile material, you might simply be able to measure and score it with something sharp, like a carbide-tipped pencil, and break it off. Be sure to sand the edge for a smooth installation.
Your tiles will have a significant visual impact on your bathroom, so you’ll want to make a thoughtful decision. Once you land on the tile material that suits your needs and budget, you can consider the color schemes you want. Consider whether you want something modern, classic, or eye-catching.
You have creative freedom when it comes to your tile trim. If, however, you are considering skipping tile trim, please think twice about that. It is good practice to install tile trim, whether on walls or flooring. Think, too, about the aesthetic you are going for and choose a trim type and color that will help enhance the space.
