affordable, and can compliment any interior design. We offer a wide
selection of ceramic tiles and we have expert mechanics to install whatever
tile you choose for your home.
Granite
This is another natural stone and is not manufactured in a factory.
Granite can be used indoors or outdoors and is less porous than marble.
It is still recommended that you use a sealant to protect the finish
from staining. Like marble, the same proper care should be taken.Dream
Carpets imports Granite direct from India,Brasil and Calgary.Large stock

Glazed
Tile - Most of the common ceramic floor tiles have either a glazed,
or unglazed surface. The glazed tiles have a special ceramic coating
that is applied to the body of the tile and then fired under tremendous
heat. The glazing becomes hard and non-porous resulting in a flooring
that is:
- Stain Resistant
- Scratch Resistant
- Fire Resistant
- Doesn't Fade from Sun Light
- Slip Resistant
- Easy to Clean
Unglazed Floor
Tile (Pavers) There is no glazing or any other coating applied
to these tiles. Because these tiles are porous it is recommended that
a special penetrating sealant be used to maintain this type of floors
and to help prevent stains from seeping into the pores of the tiles.
Their color is the same on the face of the tile as it is on the back
resulting in very durable tiles that do not show the effects of heavy
traffic.
Marble
Marble is a natural product and is not made in a factory. For
this reason no two pieces of marble look the same and the veining is
a natural characteristic in all marble. There are special marble sealants
to help protect from staining of the face. Extra care should be used
when cleaning and all abrasives and acidic cleaners should never be
used when cleaning. Even colas, some juices, and possibly ammonia may
destroy the marble finish.
Grout
Grout is a mixture of cement and a color additive. For tile floors
with wider spaces between each tile sand is added to the grout. Also,
a liquid latex additive can be added to the grout to give better resiliency
to the grouted areas. For ease of maintenance a penetrating sealant
should be used on the grout. It should be noted you may see a change
in color of your grout over time.
Some of the other
important things we can help with when selecting a tile floor is the
slip-resistance, the size and color of the grout joints, the thickness
of the tile, height variations from room to room, size of the tile,
suitability of the subfloor, and cleaning of the tile.
