NEW AND HOT
WE ASKED THE EXPERTS AT AMES TILE & STONE TO SHARE SOME OF THEIR TOP
CHOICES FOR TILE AND WE THINK YOU’LL LOVE THESE IDEAS AS MUCH AS WE DO!
ENCAUSTIC
TILE
Encaustic tiles use
a layered process
that dates back to
medieval times.
Rather then adding
color or pattern
using glaze, a colored
clay is used which
create a beautiful
hand-made look. The
Ames Memory series
offers a selection of
encaustic tile featuring
bold patterns and
colors for endless
design possibilities.
LARGE FORMAT THIN TILE
Traditionally floor and wall tiles are 8mm to 10mm thick and require a full
demolition of the old tile before the new tile can be installed. The Bavaria
series, pictured above, is only 6mm thick which opens up the unique
possibility of being able to install new tile on top of existing tile and stone.
These are easy to install with much less mess which makes them a great
choice if you have a tight budget and/or a limited timeline. These light
weight porcelain sheets are available in 3 modern color palettes and two
different sizes for a wide variety of projects.
TRAPEZOID
TILES
CLICK LUXURY VINYL TILE
LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) has gained popularity in recent years as a cost
effective alternative to traditional tile. The Versa 7.5 collection offers LVT
in click together planks, allowing for an extremely easy installation at a
fraction of the price of a tile install. These LVT planks feature an integrated
acoustic layer that exceeds residential and commercial sound transmission
requirements.
Trapezoid tiles, like
these from the Chalk
Series, are making
their way into the
market and allow for
fun, creative patterns.
There are so many
ways to set this
pattern and mixing
a variety of different
colors adds to the
possibilities.
