Since this is what all customer request from the installer, most installers, and contractors find pride in very close grout lines and they consider it a sign of a high-quality job.

If you're shopping for tiles, you probably have some questions about the product that you're planning to purchase and use for at least the next 10 - 15 years.

We are a wholesale tile store in Pompano that imports, stocks and sells directly to the public. The majority of the tiles that we display at our showroom are imported by us directly. However, unlike wholesale tile companies that sell their products through tile stores, we sell our products directly to our customers. Since we don't have to serve hundreds of tile stores, our retail prices are lower than distributors' wholesale tile prices. 9 out of 10 tile stores are companies that display tile samples from wholesale companies(the distributor).

Decorative tiles are the last pieces that complement our exterior or interior design. These are the accents tiles that tie everything together by adding in some extra colors to make everything to pop up, or blending in together. Natural stone, glass, metal, porcelain mosaics, or subway tiles are the primary materials that we use as decorative tiles. Today's trend is to use large tiles rather than small ones to avoid grout and seam issues to create a clean look.
