A backsplash has the power to change the look of your kitchen. Perfect for adding a personal touch and style to your home. Today's choices in tile are endless! Find something that matches your style and personality and make your home unique. Also, adding the correct tile will protect the area from grease and stains and make cleaning up much easier. Just like anything else, there are many different methods to installing backsplashes and a very different outcome in finished products between tile installers. We only use premium adhesives and install pre-sealed, high-performance gout and color matching caulk in corners and against cabinets to prevent future cracking and provide a long lasting and easy to maintain backsplash.
Here at Top Tile we work with all types of tile and stone, even pavers and concrete block! We have a thorough background in all masonry and have successfully installed patios and hardscapes in the harsh northeast environment for years. Our projects are built to last.
20 years ago, the tile industry was very different. There were only few options for tile sizing, grout joints were much larger, and the colors and textures of tile were limited. Fast forward to today, and they are making tile every shape and size imaginable with many colors and textures and using a variety of new materials like porcelain, glass, stones, and even metal. Old methods and materials previously used have been replaced with newly engineered installation systems, all backed by manufacturer guarantee if the correct installation requirements are followed. New tile size, shape, and material all require specialized tools. Some tile is now as large as 5ftx10ft, requiring a whole new skill set, and tools. Using proper tools and material as well as having a strong product knowledge is essential in today's tile industry to avoid failure of the installation. Using new material with old methods frequently leads to failure and valuable money wasted. Cost of tile has also gone up, and with an industry that is rapidly changing it is very important to choose a contractor who is knowledgeable in TODAY's tile industry. We are happy to help connect you with a FREE design appointment to help navigate the overwhelming number of options you have available for your project. Also encouraged is to visit local tile showrooms and take advantage of their designers and displays. Keep in mind design should go hand in hand with the functionality and use of the space.
The type of adhesive and grout chosen for your project will directly affect how it performs. Crack prevention and adhesion are a huge part of how long your investment will last. It is never a good idea to save a few dollars per bag and to sacrifice a tested and backed product from a reputable manufacturer. Grout also plays a huge role in how practical the area will become. Staining, discoloration, and cracking are all qualities of cheap low-grade grout. At Top Tile we always include top quality, high performance, pre-sealed anti-microbial grout. This ensures a consistent grout color and easier cleaning for years to come.
It is preferred to use a single “shower system” from one manufacture. This means buying the thin-set mortar, waterproofing membrane, grout/ caulk, drain assembly and other miscellaneous material from one single manufacturer who will offer a manufacturer system warranty for decades to come. 1 out of 4 tile showers fail! And some immediately! Wouldn't you like a shower system installed that gives you confidence in your investment for decades to come by including a system warranty?
We encourage all of my potential customers to search the web for “Tile fails” and research the horrors homeowners deal with on a daily basis due to shower failure. Many are unaware that without a proper waterproofed shower system, a huge portion of your home could be ruined due to water damage. Water damage is something we find extremely common when doing demo work, and 9 times out of 10 it is from a poor installation. It could take years for a poorly installed shower to show signs of failure and water damage. If you are noticing signs of mold and mildew around grout joints and bordering areas of the shower, there's a good chance a lot more damage is happening behind the walls. Lack of licensing across the industry leads to a very high percentage of incompetent installers in the tile trade. Always request references and a portfolio of previous projects!
Uniform cuts, uniform grout joints, proper layout, flush and plumb tile trim . Little details are what makes a great tile setter an artist. These details can be easily noticed if not done right and will cause you frustration for years. Saving money on a cheap installer who is doing finish work in your home is never a good idea!
