Extra tile and attic stock planning that orders and stores spare tile and grout so future repairs match, with labels and notes for the years ahead.
A year from now, a dropped pan or a plumbing repair may break a tile, and finding a match can be impossible if the pattern was discontinued or the dye lot has changed. Keeping spare tile solves that problem. Homeowners in Nashville who set aside extra boxes and notes find repairs simple, quick and almost invisible.
We recommend ordering a modest extra amount beyond the cuts and breakage allowance, and keeping full boxes of the same dye lot. We label boxes with the room, the product name, the size and the dye lot, and we note grout colors and brands. Boxes should be stored flat and dry, away from freezing and moisture, and a closet or attic with stable conditions works well. For patterned or special-order tile, the extra is even more important. We keep a record in your project file and give you a copy. Choose a storage spot before the tile arrives, away from heat, freezing and moisture. Keep boxes closed and flat, and write the room on each box. Take a photo of the labels and keep it with your project file, so a future repair starts with a perfect match.
