Gates Foundation Headquarters in Seattle

Ciao Tile

'The Seattle Times (photo credit above) ran a feature on the new Gates Foundation headquarters. My favorite element is the use of Jura limestone on the exterior. It’s a substantial stone that gives the building a real sense of permanence.

Why Buy Carpet Tiles?

Focus Floors and Furnishings

'Buying flooring for a room can be a costly endeavor no matter what the material. Not only do you have to buy the floor covering, but then comes the cost of labor, installation materials, and the more difficult the installation, the more you may end up paying. There are many surfaces to choose from for your specific room or project: wall to wall carpet, carpet tile, tile (hard surface), linoleum, the list goes on.

Rustic indian autumn slate adds drama to kitchen backpslash

H.Winter Showroom Blog

'We love when our customers share pictures of their tile installations! The Donaldsons, who emailed us pictures of their new kitchen backsplash today, chose 4x4 indian autumn slate and sealed it with TEC Ensealant Stone Enhancer. The sealant brought out the rich hues and shaded tones of the slate that a natural sealer would have otherwise subdued. Check out the heritage metal chair rail and the 4x4 heritage metal sagebrush accents that they scattered throughout the backsplash.

Big Patterns. small spaces

H.Winter Showroom Blog

'You know you want it. Large tile mixed with small tile in, what appears to be, a random pattern. This customer wanted every aspect of his newly finished basement bar to be fun and fabulous. Attention to detail included the floor behind the bar, and he wanted a pattern with random sizes. Due to messy cocktails that somehow end up on the floor, he also required that it look like a natural slate, except in a no-maintenance porcelain tile.

KBIS Las Vegas 2011

The Tile Shop

'Just got back from the Vegas KBIS show.sad to report it was quite a dissappoinment!! I first started going to the show about 8 years ago, and it was fabulous. Over the past 3 or 4 years, however, it has gotten progressively smaller and the displays are definately not what they used to be. The Tile Shop got out of these trade shows a few years ago.seems like many other companies have done the same thing.
