Bathroom tile and floors in West Palm Beach
Tile is most of what you see in a bathroom and a large part of what keeps water out of the walls. We set wall tile, shower tile and floor tile, with the layout planned before the first tile is cut.
- Walls, floors and niches
- Large format or mosaic
- Layout planned first
Tile, grout and the layout between them
The size of the tile changes how a room feels. Large tiles mean fewer grout lines and a calmer surface, while small tiles and mosaics grip better underfoot and follow a sloped shower floor.
Where the tiles start decides where the cuts land. A layout planned from the center of the wall or from the door puts the whole pieces where you see them and the small cuts where you do not.
- Porcelain, ceramic or stone
- Large-format tile, or small mosaic
- Straight, offset, herringbone or stacked layouts
- Grout that blends in, or one that contrasts
- Metal or stone edge trims
- Slip-resistant tile for wet floors
What you get with Bathroom tile and floors
Layout before cutting
The pattern is drawn on the wall and the floor first, so the cuts fall in the corners and behind the door.
Surfaces prepared
Walls and floors are made flat and sound before tile goes on, so the tile sits level and the grout lines stay even.
Joints sealed
Corners and edges are finished to move a little, and grout is sealed where the tile and the room call for it.
Grip for bare feet
Floor tile in a wet room is chosen with a finish that grips when it is wet, not only for how it looks.
Floors in a bathroom
Bathroom floors face water and bare feet. Tile with a textured or matte finish grips better when wet, and narrow grout lines are easier to keep clean. A floor that meets a curbless shower also needs the right slope near the drain.
Walls, niches and edges
Where tile ends and where two surfaces meet are the details people notice. We plan the trims, the niche edges and the corners together with the layout, so they look decided and not improvised.
Bathroom tile and floors questions
Can new tile go over old tile?
Sometimes, but in a wet area the old tile and the layers behind it should be checked first. Often the better answer is to remove it and start from a clean, sound surface, and we tell you which applies.
Which tile is best for a shower floor?
A shower floor needs a grip and a slope to the drain. Small tiles and mosaics follow a slope easily, and large tiles can work with a linear drain and a single-plane slope. The pair is chosen together.
How do I keep grout looking good?
Wipe the shower walls after use, clean with a mild cleaner and reseal the grout where the installer advises. Keeping water from sitting on the grout lines does more than any product does.
