does anyone know what the most affordable nice tile flooring is? i was watching a tv show that was using slate for less than a dollar a sq ft. i cant seem to find that anywhere.. but im re-doing my kitchen and would love suggestions! no laminate or wood im really aiming for tile. thanks!
If you happen to have a Habitat for Humanity Restore near you, they (or at least the one near me) usually have lots of unused tile that you can buy for a low price. Just an idea.
Ceramic tile has many uses. The thought of using ceramic tile brings up visions of one of the larger spaces of your home covered with a delightful repeating pattern. That is a wonderful way to bring symmetry to your newly redecorated room but to do so with lots of creative style. It is best recommended as kitchen flooring as well. Install stain proof ceramic floor tiles and use light colored for more beautiful kitchen floor look.
Check Home Depot or your local tile supply store for discontinued patterns, they will be cheaper. Also a salvage building materials place. The thing is, you won't be able to buy a whole lot of it. So measure and know exactly how much you will need. Figure 15 to 20% extra for waste and cuts. If you can, always buy an extra box of a discontinued pattern, because that's your last chance to ever get more for patches or replacement tile.
Most all your big box store will carry tile , but not stone products, for a dollar or less. These cheap tiles are usually being discontinued, are discontinued or are mixed dye and run lots that they re stuck with. So be careful there. Don t ever get a mix run of any tile, even if they are marked as the same shade number. Don t be afraid to spend a bit more and get better a better product. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar and check my qualifications there. GL
