Ceramic Tile Floors

Ceramic tile floors in classic glazed colors and patterns for entries, kitchens and light-use rooms, with careful setting that keeps lines even and tile secure.

Ceramic tile is a classic. It comes in warm glazed colors, patterns and finishes that give a room character, and it is a friendly choice for budgets and for homes that want a traditional look. Homeowners in Nashville use ceramic on walls, backsplashes and lighter-traffic floors, and we help them decide where it makes sense and where porcelain would serve better.

Ceramic is a little softer and more absorbent than porcelain, so it is best where traffic is moderate. We check the rating on the box, look at how the room will be used and talk about glaze choices, because a very glossy glaze shows scratches and slips more easily. During installation we use the right mortar, keep spacing even and plan transitions to hardwood or carpet. Good grout and sealing at the edges extends the life of any ceramic floor. Check the manufacturer's rating for floor use, which is usually printed on the box or the product page. If a ceramic tile is rated for walls only, it should stay on walls. For a floor, ask about the surface hardness rating and glaze type, and let us help you read it.

How it works

Our process, start to finish.

  1. 01

    Call and describe the job

    You tell us the rooms, the tile you like and your timing, and we ask about the floors, walls and any water issues.

  2. 02

    Measure and plan

    We check flatness, moisture and layout from photos or a visit and talk through materials, pattern and trim.

  3. 03

    Review the estimate

    You get a plain written scope with prep, waterproofing, materials, schedule and cure times before anything is ordered.

  4. 04

    We prepare the surfaces

    Old tile comes out, floors are repaired and leveled, backer board and membranes go in and showers are waterproofed and tested.

  5. 05

    We set the tile

    Tile is set with the right mortar, checked for flatness and alignment and cut carefully at the edges.

  6. 06

    Grout, seal and walk through

    We grout, seal and caulk, clean up and walk the finished job with you, leaving written care tips and extra tile.

Questions

Ceramic Floors FAQ

Can ceramic go on a kitchen floor?

Yes, if the tile is rated for floors and traffic is not extreme. Porcelain is more forgiving in heavy use.

Does ceramic chip?

It can, especially in heavy use. Keeping spare tile makes repairs simple.

Is ceramic slippery?

Glossy glazes can be. Textured or matte glazes grip better.

What is the difference between wall and floor ceramic?

Floor tile is harder and rated for traffic. Wall tile is thinner and not meant for floors.

Do you stock tile?

We help you select and order tile, and we explain lead times before your project is scheduled.
