Lobby and Entry Tile

Lobby and entry tile that makes a strong first impression and handles heavy traffic, wet shoes and cleaning, with inlays, borders and durable finishes.

The lobby is where a business or building introduces itself. The floor has to look polished from the first step and survive rain, grit and thousands of footsteps. Owners and managers in Nashville use large porcelain, stone-look tile and inlaid patterns to give lobbies character, and they want the work done without disrupting tenants and visitors.

We plan the lobby around the door, the desk and the path people take. Walk-off areas near entries, whether recessed mat wells or textured tile, catch moisture and grit. Large tile gives a seamless look, while borders and inlays define zones. We check flatness, plan movement joints and pick a finish that is safe and easy to maintain. Phasing keeps part of the lobby usable, and we coordinate with elevator, security and delivery schedules. Tell us how the lobby is used, from visitor entry to deliveries and events. Note security desks, elevators and doors. A good plan puts the toughest tile and the best walk-off area where the most grit arrives, and keeps the rest of the building open.

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

    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.
