MEASURING TILE:
 

To calculate how much tile you need, multiply (in feet) the length of your floor by the width. For irregular shaped rooms, break down the floor into rectangles or squares and measure each separately.

Stone & Tile offers tiles in different sizes to meet your designing needs. Each tile is clearly marked so you know exactly how many square feet you need. Rule of thumb: buy 15-20% more than what you need to cover for cuts and breakages. We are here to assist you buy the right amount of tile.

INSTALLING TILE:
 
It is always a good idea to lay out your floor before you install it to make sure you have a pattern you like. Since all natural stone tiles are porous, make sure that the under-surface is clean. It is critical that the setting material is in complete contact with the under-surface. For a cleaner look, keep the joints less that 1/8" wide. And when you're done installing, remember to seal the floor so you can enjoy it for years to come.
