westchester tile flooring and backsplashes shop at home: Here's how much choosing the wrong flooring contractor can cost you - 08/14/12 12:35 PM
Yesterday, I went to a home in where we were brought in to fix a botched up tile job.
 
Unfortunately, a lot of people try to save money on hiring contractors and either hire friends, relatives or handymen who clearly do not specialize in tile or flooring.
 
In this case, my customer had bought the tile in Home Depot and the contractor told them he would level out the floor.  This job was done while they were away and they came back from vacation extremely disappointed.  I wish I had pictures.
 
The tile flooring is a mess.  It's … (16 comments)

westchester tile flooring and backsplashes shop at home: Porcelain tile vs Ceramic Tile. What is the difference? - 08/05/12 09:21 PM
This question comes up often...What is the difference between ceramic and porcelain tile? Tile terminology can be confusing. Most types of tiles are made from clay or a mixture of clay and other materials. They are then kiln-fired. The larger classification of "ceramic tiles" can be split into two groups: 1) porcelain tiles and 2) non-porcelain tiles. These non-porcelain tiles are frequently referred to as "ceramic tiles" by themselves, separate from porcelain tiles. While porcelain tiles technically are a subset of ceramics, they are often referred to as porcelains because they are denser, stronger and tend to look nicer.
