Tile Installation

Tile is a timeless, durable material that can stand up to heat, humidity, and water, making it a practical and popular choice for kitchens and bathrooms. Installing tile can transform the look of a kitchen or bathroom while improving its utility as well. Tile comes in various sizes, styles, and colors, providing limitless options for new design projects and home renovations.

While tile can be a gorgeous addition to any home, it can be an eyesore if not correctly installed. Tile installation is both an art and a science. Choose an experienced professional to install your tile for a beautiful appearance as well as proper function.

At New Century Kitchen and Bath, we have the expertise to handle any tile installation project, big or small, residential or commercial. From tile floors to mosaics on walls, we do it all. Here are some of the most common areas where we do tile installation.

Floor Tiling

Floor tiling makes sense in certain rooms of the home. Tile is most common in the kitchen and bathroom but can also be used in living areas, especially in warm or beachy locations. It is durable, easy to clean, and certain tile materials, such as porcelain, stand up to moisture and water.

Floor tiling works well in commercial spaces, including kitchens and bathrooms, but also in high-traffic areas. Commercial-grade tile is very durable, making it the right choice for areas that experience heavy wear and tear. Tile can also be used to create dramatic and eye-catching patterns to draw in customers.

Showers, Tubs, and Tub Surrounds

Because tile can resist moisture, humidity, and direct contact with water, it is an excellent choice for showers, tubs, and the area surrounding the tub. Not all tiles can stand up to a shower or tub’s heavy water usage, so be sure to ask our tile experts for a recommendation.

Installing tile in a shower, tub, or tub surround is a tricky process. Poor tile installation in this area can lead to loose, damaged tiles and water damage to the floor and walls. Don’t try to do it yourself—let our professionals properly install your bathroom tile.

Countertops and Backsplashes

Tile countertops can be a fun choice for a kitchen or bathroom. We offer large and small tiles in a variety of colors, so you can create patterns or color schemes that go with any decor. With tile countertops, it is critical to seal the grout to prevent staining.

Tile backsplashes protect walls from splashes of water in the bathroom or grease in the kitchen. If you have a tile countertop, you can choose to continue the tile onto your backsplash. You can also choose an accent pattern to create some vibrancy with the backsplash.
