Why Use Material Sourcing Assistance
Buying tile without professional guidance can lead to costly mistakes. We protect your investment.
Quality Control: We know which manufacturers produce high-quality, straight, and durable tiles, and which ones to avoid.

We provide you with the exact quantities to order, including matching grout, edge trims (Schluter), and sealers, ensuring everything arrives ready for installation.
Sourcing the Right Supporting Materials
A successful tile job requires more than just the tile itself. We also source and specify the correct underlayment and setting materials:
Adhesives & Thinsets: Selecting the right mortar modified specifically for your tile type.
Grout: Guiding you toward high-performance sanded, unsanded, or epoxy grouts based on the application.
Waterproofing & Uncoupling:
Specifying the necessary membranes (like Ditra or Kerdi) to protect your subfloor and prevent tile cracking.

FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I buy the tile directly, or do you buy it for me?
Typically, clients purchase the finish tile directly from the supplier based on our exact measurements and recommendations. We supply all the necessary raw setting materials (mortar, waterproofing, etc.) as part of our installation quote.
What if the tile arrives broken?
This is exactly why we order overage. However, if a large portion is damaged in transit, we will advise you on how to handle the claim with the supplier before installation begins.
