When it’s done well, backsplash tile looks deceptively simple to install. We love remodeling shows on television, but some shows give the false impression that these projects are easy to DIY. When you want a custom look, and you want the results to last for years, you need professional tile installation. In kitchens and bathrooms, tile backsplashes prevent water infiltration. They also help define the decor of the entire room.
Kitchen Backsplashes
Porcelain, glass, natural stone, and aluminum backsplash tiles are just a few of the materials popular in modern kitchens. Each material must be matched with an appropriate adhesive. Depending on the desired look grout lines can be minimized, or they can be used to highlight the chosen tile materials. Since TD Renovations also handles flooring, we can make sure that the floors complement the colors and materials chosen for your kitchen backsplash tile. If you want a completely new look for your kitchen, we can also handle cabinets and countertops.
Porcelain Countertops
With hundreds of colors and patterns, porcelain countertops are as visually stunning as granite, but they’re more durable and virtually maintenance-free. When you have additional renovations planned, granite countertops might eat up most of your budget. On average, porcelain costs about 40% less than granite. There are always cheaper options, like Formica and laminate surfaces, but they can’t compete with the look and feel of professionally installed porcelain. To compliment kitchen fixtures, aluminum trim is available in different finishes.
Bathroom Tile Walls
Bathrooms have even more water spills than kitchens. In addition to the tiled floors, backsplashes and tiled walls keep the water where it belongs (out of your walls and studs). Depending on your bathroom remodeling goals, you may have an entire wall of tile, or you may only want tile halfway up the walls. Even when larger areas are covered with tile, backsplashes and borders can accent the style of the whole room.
Custom Patterns
All kinds of tile substitutes have become affordable in recent decades. You can get a believable marble or stone look with the durability and cost-effectiveness of tile. Glass tiles have long been popular for decorative accents, but now they’re available in every color imaginable. From Fletcher and Skyland to Cowpens, TD Renovations has extensive experience working with different materials.
