Tile Tips from the Experts!

Tile has an endless variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. The possibilities are virtually infinite. Whether you are looking to tile your bathroom, living room, outdoor patio, or kitchen, there is a perfect tile solution for your specific project needs. You can custom design a mosaic effect, mix and match tile for bold visual, imitate other finishes like marble or wood and so much more!

To give your home a more natural look and feel, you can choose ceramic or stone floors, rough textured tiles or even tiles that look like wood planks. Tile floors require less maintenance and give warmth as well as beauty to any room of your home.

When tiles are used on a floor or flat surface, stains are inevitable. Any natural material can be damaged and stained, usually easier than man-made materials like ceramic tile. Stone, because it’s porous, has the potential to be stained even more. When tile is used on a counter top or floor, it really needs to be sealed to prevent moisture and dirt from soaking into the natural stone. Cleaning these tiles is easy when they have been finished properly. Coles provides a variety of cleaning and sealing products for your stone and tile floors. Whether you tile your bathroom, your living room, or your whole home, it will provide you with years of comfort and natural elegance.
