- PRPaula RMar 20, 20255.0Came here when planning two new bathrooms and couldn’t have been happier. We went to some of the larger tile stores, but the selection and pricing here was much better. We worked with Freddy who was extremely patient and helpful. I’d highly recommend using them for your tiling needs.
- MSMatthew ShebesNov 23, 20185.0I have used OCT for renovation of 3 bathrooms. The staff are pleasant and although some have more design experience than others, they are always patient and offering their knowledge on what tile and style may work best for a particular use. The selection is huge and can be overwhelming, but again, the staff are great in helping to steer you in the right direction. Great family owned business.
Frequently Asked Questions About Old Country Ceramic Tile Inc
How do I measure the area for tile installation?
To measure the area for tile installation, calculate the square footage by multiplying the length and width of the space. For areas with complex shapes, divide them into smaller, manageable sections. Measure each section individually and sum up the results to obtain the total square footage.
How much extra tile should I order?
We recommend ordering 10-15% more tile than your measured area requires. This additional amount accounts for cuts, potential waste, and possible future repairs. However, the final decision on the extra quantity to order is at your discretion.
What are the benefits of ceramic tiles?
Ceramic tiles offer numerous advantages including durability, water resistance, and ease of cleaning. They are available in a wide array of styles and colors, making them suitable for various applications. These tiles perform well in high-traffic areas and can be utilized on floors, walls, countertops, backsplashes, and numerous other surfaces.
How do I clean and maintain ceramic tiles?
Regular sweeping and mopping with a mild detergent solution is sufficient for maintaining ceramic tiles. Avoid using abrasive cleaners to prevent surface scratches. For grout lines, a specialized grout cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and water can be effective.
Can ceramic tiles be used outdoors?
Ceramic tiles can indeed be used in outdoor settings. It's crucial to select tiles specifically rated for exterior use that can withstand various weather conditions. For outdoor applications, porcelain tiles are often recommended due to their superior durability.
Are ceramic tiles suitable for underfloor heating?
Ceramic tiles are highly compatible with underfloor heating systems. Their excellent heat conductivity properties allow for efficient heat distribution, resulting in a comfortably warm surface while maintaining an attractive appearance.
How do I choose the right ceramic tile for my project?
When selecting ceramic tiles, consider the installation location, expected foot traffic, and desired aesthetic. For high-traffic areas, opt for tiles with a higher PEI rating to ensure durability. In wet areas, select tiles with appropriate water-resistance properties.
What are the advantages of luxury vinyl tiles?
Luxury vinyl tiles offer exceptional durability, water resistance, and ease of installation. They effectively replicate the appearance of natural materials such as wood and stone. Additionally, these tiles provide a softer underfoot feel compared to ceramic options.
Can luxury vinyl tiles be installed over existing flooring?
Luxury vinyl tiles can often be installed over existing flooring, provided the surface is clean, dry, and level. This feature makes them a convenient choice for renovation projects. For specific installation requirements, we recommend consulting with a professional installer.
Are luxury vinyl tiles suitable for bathrooms and kitchens?
Luxury vinyl tiles are indeed suitable for bathrooms and kitchens. Their water-resistant properties make them capable of withstanding the moisture and spills commonly encountered in these areas of the home.
