Floor and wall tile have been the rage for the last 15 years, but before you chose your tile, listen to Gil Olachea, owner of Ceramica in Scottsdale, AZ, chat with Nancy about good tile vs. bad tile, and more.

1. A brief history
uses of clay (terra cotta, mosaics) tile date to ancient Egyptian times

2. Size trends
applicable to 'field' tile not mosaics
24" was ever popular & predominant just 5-6 years ago
24" x 48" and greater sizes are, now, ubiquitous

3. What is "Subway" tile
"I want that tile I see in the subway"!
Any rectangle tile can be considered "subway"

4.What materials are used to produce tile
stone, porcelain, glass, metals, wood, coconut, leather
porcelain technology so excellent, it emulates stone

5. Choosing a tile...
do some research, price-points, desired quality, uniqueness, value or...
seek a true professional to assist
set a budget
you-Get-What-You-Pay-For
know the application

6. Applications vs. choosing material-types
where to use tile; typically, in baths, kitchens, powder
consideration in choosing material types
back-splashes in active kitchens

7. Installation
DIY vs. hiring
good vs. bad tile installers; handyman vs. craftsman; knowledge vs experience
thin-set, grout; 'Big Box' vs pro-grade

8."Framing" the wall
trim, moldings, borders

9. Maintenance
cleaning stone products do not use popular glass cleaner-type solutions; pH-neutral
seal ALL stone & natural material produced tile products
