Where tile earns its keep
Tile shines exactly where our climate is hardest on floors: entries and mudrooms that catch rain and mud, bathrooms and laundry rooms, and kitchens. Done right (with proper waterproofing and a flat, sound substrate) a tile floor lasts decades and shrugs off water that would ruin wood.
Porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone
- Porcelain: densest and most water- and wear-resistant; great for floors and high-traffic areas
- Ceramic: versatile and budget-friendly for walls and lighter-traffic floors
- Natural stone: beautiful and unique, with periodic sealing to keep it protected
Substrate and waterproofing
Tile is only as good as what's under it. We set tile over a flat, rigid substrate with the right backer board and, in wet areas, a waterproofing membrane. Cutting corners on the substrate is what causes cracked tiles and failed grout lines, so that's where we spend the time. We can also add heated floors under tile for cold Clackamas County mornings.
Frequently asked questions
- Is tile too cold for living spaces?
- Tile is cooler underfoot, which is why many clients pair it with in-floor radiant heat in bathrooms and entries. In living areas, wood or LVP is often cozier; we help you match material to room.
- Porcelain or ceramic: which is better for floors?
- For floors, porcelain is the tougher, more water-resistant choice. Ceramic is fine for walls and lighter-traffic areas and can save money. We'll steer you by room and traffic.
- Can you add heated floors under tile?
- Yes, tile is the ideal surface for electric radiant heat. It's a popular upgrade in bathrooms and entryways here, and it's far easier to install during a remodel than to retrofit later.
