From ceramic and porcelain to decorative mosaics, our staff have many recommendations for kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces across Cedar Park, Austin, and Central Texas.

The choice between porcelain and ceramic tile comes down to density and water absorption. Porcelain is fired at higher temperatures, producing a harder, denser tile that absorbs less than 0.5 percent moisture. That makes porcelain the better pick for bathrooms, outdoor patios, and any area exposed to water. Ceramic tile is lighter and easier to cut, which can keep installation costs lower for walls, backsplashes, and low-traffic floors. Both types come in virtually unlimited colors, sizes, and patterns, from large-format slabs that minimize grout lines to intricate mosaic designs.

Tile installation is a multi-step process that requires precision. Our team starts by preparing a clean, level substrate, then applies thin-set mortar before setting each tile with consistent spacing. After the mortar cures overnight, grout is applied between tiles and sealed to resist staining. The entire process typically takes two to four days per room, depending on the layout complexity and tile size. Proper installation ensures tiles stay bonded and level for decades.

In Central Texas, tile has a practical edge: it stays cool underfoot during our long, hot summers, making it a natural fit for entryways, kitchens, and living areas. Maintenance is simple - regular sweeping and mopping with a pH-neutral cleaner keeps the surface spotless. Grout lines benefit from periodic resealing, especially in wet areas like showers, to prevent discoloration and moisture penetration over time.

Tile FAQ

What's the difference between porcelain and ceramic tile?

Porcelain tile is denser and more water-resistant than ceramic, making it ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor areas. Ceramic tile is lighter, easier to cut, and works well for walls and lower-traffic floors. Both come in a wide range of styles. Visit our Cedar Park showroom to see and feel the difference between porcelain and ceramic options.

A typical tile installation for a single room takes two to four days, including surface preparation, laying tile, and grouting.
