A-Clean Look can help you
install any type of tile floor and we specialize in Ceramic tile
installations.
Ceramic tile installation is not as simple as
it sounds, anyone can glue tile in place and grout over it. It
may even last a couple of years.
We have installed many ceramic floors and take
pride in our work. We make sure that the tile looks good, that
all the lines are straight, that the grout looks even and that
the wall or floor is level.
OK we're done! ...well not really.

If you don't want your bathroom walls to allow
water to get behind the tile, and rot your beams, and if you don't
want your marble floor in your foyer, that gets all the foot traffic
to crack from the pressure, causing you to have to re-install
new expensive marble or tile, then proper installation methods
are called for.
The preparation of the wall or floor, the work
done before the tile is ever set, has to be done right or the
job will not last.
Our methods of preparation have been developed
to insure the longevity of the job, as well as the beauty.

Is
tile appropriate for a kitchen?
Yes, tile is actually recommended for a kitchen. Its resistance
to heat and moisture, durability, and ease of maintenance make
it perfect for the kitchen.
Can tile raise
the value of my home?
Yes. The National Association of Home Builders has found that
the quality and style of the kitchen significantly impacts the
value of a home. With little effort tile greatly enhances the
appearance and practicality of the kitchen.
Can tile make a
small room look larger?
Yes, larger tiles give a cleaner look and can actually make a
small area look larger. Depending on the room's size, a 12 inch
or 13 inch tile will create the illusion of a larger room.
Can tile be used
on counter tops?
Tile is guaranteed not to scorch, burn, or melt if a hot skillet
or pan accidentally sits on its surface. This makes tile a great
alternative for countertops.
Will tile fade
over time if exposed to direct sunlight?
No. A tile's color and glaze are fired on at temperatures up to
2300 deg. F. This allows tile to be installed in sunrooms, outdoors,
or any other sunny places without concern about fading.
What determines
the grout color?
You want to use a complementary grout color to create a more uniform,
blended look. Contrasting grout colors tend to highlight each
tile, creating a more dramatic grid effect. Ultimately, an individual's
taste and style will determine the grout color selected.
Will grout stain
or get dirty easily?
No. Grout will look as good as new for years if a penetrating
type sealer is used after installation and spills are cleaned
up quickly.
Is there any on-going
maintenance with tile?
No. All that is necessary is damp mopping or sponging with a mild
cleaner, if the tile is properly installed.
Can tile be installed
in the bedroom?
Yes. Tile is becoming a more popular choice for bedrooms. Tile
offers natural comfort and easy maintenance. In addition, tile
provides a tasteful, stylish feel to any bedroom.
Is a tiled floor
cold to the touch?
No. This is a common misconception. The temperature of the room
determines the tile's temperature. If the room is cold the tile
will be cold, if the room is warm the tile will be warm.
