Frequently asked questions
Why does porcelain cost more than ceramic?
Porcelain is denser, harder, and more difficult to cut and set – the material and the labor both cost more, and you get a tougher floor for it.
Wood-look porcelain vs. LVP – which should I pick?
Wood-look porcelain gives the most realistic hard-surface look and shrugs off water and scratches. LVP is warmer, quieter, and usually cheaper installed. We’ll show you both at your free estimate.
What’s a good slip rating for pool decks?
Choose a slip-resistant porcelain with a higher DCOF rating for wet areas. We’ll spec products rated for your application at the estimate.
Do large-format tiles need special leveling?
Yes – large-format porcelain needs careful substrate prep and leveling systems so there are no lippage issues. That’s setter work, and our crews are experienced at it.
