Porcelain Tile Floors

Porcelain tile floors in stone, wood, concrete and solid looks, chosen for density, low water absorption and durability in busy rooms.

Porcelain is dense, hard and low in water absorption, which makes it a favorite for floors in every room of the house. It also comes in an enormous range of looks, including marble, slate, wood and concrete, so you can get a particular style without the upkeep of the real material. Homeowners in Nashville pick porcelain for kitchens, baths, entries and whole-house floors, and we help them narrow the choices.

Not all porcelain is the same. Some tiles are glazed for pattern and sheen, others are full-body for a consistent color throughout. Finish matters too: polished surfaces look rich but can be slippery when wet, while matte and textured finishes grip better. Rectified tiles have precise edges that allow narrower grout lines. We help you compare samples in your room's light, explain what each choice means for installation and maintenance, and make sure your subfloor can carry the tile you pick. Ask for samples of the exact tile, not just a similar color, and look at them at different times of day. Pick up a box edge and check thickness and weight, because thicker tile feels more solid underfoot. We can also compare how a few finishes feel in bare feet and in socks.

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

Porcelain Floors FAQ

Is porcelain better than ceramic?

Porcelain is denser and more water-resistant, which suits floors and wet areas. Ceramic works well on walls and light-use floors.

Do I need to seal porcelain?

Glazed porcelain usually does not need sealing. Grout may, depending on type.

Is porcelain slippery?

Polished finishes can be. Matte or textured finishes give more grip, especially in wet rooms.

Can porcelain go outdoors?

Many outdoor-rated porcelains work well, and they need the right setting method and drainage.

What does rectified mean?

The tile edges are cut precisely so grout lines can be narrow and even.
