Florida Tile
Greetings all;
I'm considering buying Florida Tile for my bathroom floor. Since they are faily new here in Canada, I'd be interested in hearing from those who have been living with their products. How has Florida Tile performed for you? Are you satisfied? Would you buy them again? Anything I should know about installation (will go on a plywood sub-floor)? Maintenance? Any and all information is much appreciated. Thanks. LD |

Maybe I need to start looking there for tile instead of the tile shops... :) Thanks, Jeff I own a tile and stone distribution company in FL. I show FL Tile Co. tile. It is inexpensive and yet very durable. My suggestion is to go with the FL Tile if you like it. However, the kicker here is that you can make that 2.30 (for example) tile look like a 10.00 tile with some properly placed hand made tile liners or listellos or a few decorative tiles. The big box DIY businesses are fine for many flooring needs but to really get a personalized look go to a local designer and ask them for some help. Or call the Canadian equivalent of the American Society of Interior Designers and ask them for "Industry Partners" that are tile show rooms in your area. These show rooms should carry designer/custom tile for your use. And don't be afraid of the idea of custom or designer, just cuz it sounds expensive doesn't mean it is. good luck. gv |

Have been to probably 6-8 tile companies and none of them have anything even close. Does such a tile exist? Thanks. |
