We’re Just Floored By This Tile

Here in the Midwest, our homes are often furnished with traditional finishes. Warm hardwood, timeless tile, red brick, and other classic touches. At Callier & Thompson, we are always on board for a timeless and traditional look, but we’re also constantly looking for new, more modern and functional takes on the usual finishes. In recent years, tile manufacturers have focused on creating porcelain tile that takes on a whole new aesthetic. Porcelain that looks like rustic hardwood, textural porcelain that mimics concrete, or just different sizes, shapes and patterns that put a new spin on things have changed the flooring selection process. Read on for some of the options we’re liking these days . . .
American Olean_Porcelain Wood Tile

Cement Style Tile
