Easy Maintenance

Stone tiles are easy to clean. Regular sweeping and mopping keep them looking new. They resist stains when sealed.

Factors to Consider Before Installation

Type of Stone Tile

Choose based on its look and features. Marble is elegant, granite is tough, and slate is rustic.

Size and Layout

Measure the area and plan the layout. Think about traffic flow, lighting, and design to ensure a good fit.

Budget and Costs

Set a budget for materials, labor, and extras. Get estimates to avoid surprises and stay within your budget.

Steps in the Installation Process

Prepare the Site

Clean and level the surface. Remove old materials and check for problems before installing.

Choose Adhesives and Grout

Pick high-quality adhesives and grout for your stone. This ensures a strong bond and prevents moisture problems.

Cut and Fit Tiles

Cut and fit tiles carefully. Use the right tools and align tiles to avoid gaps and overlaps.

Special Techniques for Seattle Climate

Climate Considerations

Acclimate tiles to Seattle’s climate before installing. Keep indoor humidity steady to avoid cracking or warping.

Sealing for Moisture Protection

Use good sealants to protect tiles from moisture. This helps prevent stains and extends tile life.

High-Quality Materials

Use durable stones like slate or granite and materials made for damp conditions. This ensures a long-lasting installation.
