Porcelain, Ceramic & Stone Tile
Tile is one of the most durable and versatile flooring options available. From wood-look porcelain planks to classic hex, subway, and large-format stone, tile handles moisture and traffic that would ruin softer surfaces — and it looks incredible while doing it.
Why choose tile?
- Water & stain proof: The go-to choice for bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and mudrooms in Minnesota winters.
- Design freedom: Mix shapes, sizes, colors, and grout to create patterns unique to your home.
- Radiant-heat friendly: Tile pairs beautifully with in-floor heat systems for cozy bathrooms and entries.
What to Consider
Choosing the right tile.

Porcelain vs. Ceramic
Porcelain is denser and more water-resistant; ceramic is easier to cut and often more affordable.

Porcelain Enamel Institute (PEI) Rating
Higher PEI ratings mean the tile can handle heavier foot traffic — critical for entries and kitchens.

Grout & Layout
Grout color, joint width, and pattern (herringbone, offset, straight) dramatically change the finished look.

Sub-floor & Waterproofing
A proper mortar bed, uncoupling membrane, and waterproofing keep tile beautiful for decades.
