Choices and looks

  • Grout colors enhance and add to the design and fashion of your floor
  • Used for the floor, walls and backspash, coordinate your room with tile

How it feels and sounds

  • Stone and ceramic are great for high traffic areas
  • Tile and stone do not retain heat well, and often feel cool to the touch
  • There is no sound absorption, so room might seem louder

Think about this

  • If you are standing on it for long perionds could result with tired or sore feet
  • Glass tiles are very popular now as accents in kitchens and baths
