Tile Renaissance

Let’s take a second to talk about porcelain and ceramic tiles. They should be bullet proof compared to natural stone and easy to clean. And normally they are. Unfortunately a lot of the newer porcelains have a micro texture finish that is porous. This invisible micro texture traps dirt like crazy and is almost impossible to extract. These floors are challenging to clean and work with. You can throw all sorts of cleaners, pads and brushes at the tile and nothing will touch it. We have to order in specialized pads made for this type of tile just to get it clean. Fortunately the pads work wonderfully and the floor cleans up great once you have the process figured out. This floor was trashed. We deep cleaned the tile and grout and then color sealed the grout to give a more seamless look.

Believe it or not these floors use to have old allergen filled carpet 😬. The rest of the house had an existing concrete overlay that was done 15 years ago. The goal was to remove the carpet and match these two rooms to the existing overlay in the rest of the house. We did a killer job 🤌
