tile & Stone
BEFORE INSTALLATION
GET PREPARED BEFORE THE DAY OF INSTALLATION
- Create a clear path through your home for easy access to the demo/installation area.
- Remove all items from entertainment centers, china cabinets, bookcases, closets and closet floors, pantry floors, etc.
- Move all breakables and decorative accessories, such as lamps, pictures, vases, mirrors, antiques, all drawers with items and/or clothing in them, and other valuables from the areas affected by installation work.
- Move all furniture and home accessories out of the installation area. If we are moving your furniture pieces, all items must be removed from them before we arrive.
DURING INSTALLATION
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR INSTALLATION
- Keep children and pets away from the installation area.
- If you are not present during installation, please make sure all pets are securely kept away from the installation area.
- Installing tile takes time and great focus. If you have questions, please do not distract your installer and simply direct your concerns immediately to your Sales Representative.
- Please understand during the demo and/or installation process, there will be dust, various tools, product boxes, setting materials, etc., all within the space being renovated. We do consider this a construction area. Please be considerate of the fact that this is a process that includes many steps.
- We will cover and protect any furniture and appliances, if necessary before we begin the demo.
- Please do not walk on a tile job in progress.
- Once the tile floor is grouted, wait at least 24 hours to walk on it. This gives the grout sufficient time to set and cure.
AFTER INSTALLATION
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT AFTER YOUR INSTALLATION
- Immediately begin proper care and maintenance. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations to maintain your warranty and keep your new tile or stone looking its best.
- Unless otherwise stated in your invoice, our installers will take away and dispose of all old flooring.
- If we moved your furniture before your installation, we will move it back into its original spots within the installation area.
- Remember, once the tile floor is grouted, wait at least 24 hours to walk on it. This gives the grout sufficient time to set and cure. If it is walked on too early, it could result in the tile shifting and causing the need for it to be reinstalled.
- Enjoy your new tile!
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
The popular use of tile in our homes is directly due to its durability, versatility, and low maintenance. It's resistant to water and wear, making it ideal for high-traffic areas like kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, and exterior living areas. Its long-lasting nature and easy cleaning make it an easy and smart option for homeowners.
