TERRAMANO TILE

Choosing Tile

In this market there are many flooring options available, such as wood, carpet, ceramic tile, travertine tile, saltillo and terracotta tile. Choosing the right tile can be very frustrating, and the experts at Terramano are available to guide you on your journey.

Here are some simple tips to help you make an informed decision.

Size

When choosing a tile size, consider the space in the rooms. Usually for large spaces, (350 square feet or larger), we will use 12"x12" tile to 16"x16" tile. For areas smaller than that, we can use 12" tile or smaller.

Shape

To determine the ideal shape of tile, we consider the style of the house.

• If the house has square rooms we use square tiles.
• If the house has hallways we use rectangular tiles.
• If the house has polygon-shape we can use hexagons and asymmetrical tiles.

Color

We offer three colors in various tiles: Natural, Speckled and Caffe. Each color offers a different look and feel for your space.

If you like the feeling of open space, we recommend lighter colors.

If you are looking to create balance, we consider the color of the ceiling.

• If the ceiling is dark and we use it for a home office we use dark terracota tile which gives a sense of privacy.
• If the ceiling is dark and is for the kitchen, we use dark tile.
• For the master, if you have a dark ceiling, we use light tile to make it look cozy.
• If the house is small, and you want it to feel bigger, use light tile and a light ceiling.
• If you have low ceilings and like cozy privacy, use dark ceiling and dark tile, (This also applies for a home theater.)
• If you have high dark ceilings you can use semi light and dark color tile.
