Tile Floor Installation, Custom Marble Flooring Orlando, FL

Due to their variation in tone and pattern our natural stone tiles complement any interior design. Most common uses in modern homes are geometric patterns which evoke the traditional and classical designs of Persian and Ancient Greek architecture. Modern homes depict scenes or still images in mosaic forms for a personal and highly unique touch.

Our stone tiles are available in a variety of light, subtle tones and finishes; so your mosaic tiled floor can be truly unique and a source of constant fascination. You can add a modern, chic look to any room with mosaic tile by creating unique patterns and designs.

Techniques of mosaic have changed over the years and are dependent on the result desired. Geometric patterns can be achieved through mathematics, calculating the size, shape and position of each piece of tile to create the
whole work. More fluid methods may be used to create images, cutting and shaping each piece to fit a certain design.

Eco friendly tiles create stunning interiors, over any imagination. The tiles can offer many possibilities to create hallways and canopies. The eco-friendly tiles create structural quality and a real environmental philosophy.

Made of ceramic, glass, or stone, tile has unrivaled durability. It works in high-traffic areas such as entries, kitchens, and hallways. Manufacturers now offer more floor tiles with the look and color range of stone, ceramic tile, terracotta, or terrazzo, but with recycled content.

Recycled-content tile makes use of otherwise wasted by-products diverting glass, used tiles, granite dust, stone tailings, or unfired material from landfills and offsetting its high “embodied energy” cost (price of energy required to get a product from its source).

In the last two to three years there has been an explosion of new products on the scene, many being made from recycled materials derived from wood, glass, metals and more.

Most recyclers collect materials in a range of colors because that is what we as consumers are turning in to our local recycling centers. As a result, recycled product manufacturers are able to produce finished products with more variety and color that simply can not be found in regular production materials.

Tile Metrics highly recommend taking a look at our Eco-Friendly Tile options at our showroom.

Tile Metrics, Inc - Tile Flooring in Orlando, FL Tile flooring is made from slabs of clay that are fired for hardness. It is not only a surface that endures heavy traffic beautifully, but, as one of the earliest man-made building materials, it’s a product that has endured the ages.

Tile may be either glazed or unglazed. Glazed flooring tiles have very hard, smooth surfaces that reject water and stains. They are thicker and less glossy than tiles used for walls and counters. The glaze, applied between the first firing and a second one, gives the tile color and texture. Glazed tile comes in every color of the rainbow and may be high gloss, satin, matte, or dull, smooth or textured.
Unglazed tile is unfinished, so it is usually the color of the fired clay or an added pigment. It doesn’t scratch as easily as glazed tile but, because it doesn’t have the hard surface finish, it is more liable to stain. It is generally treated with a sealer or wax for protection.

Tile is made in many different sizes, from 12-by-12-inch (or larger) pavers to tiny mosaic tiles. Unglazed tiles can be installed unfinished or can be sealed so that they have increased moisture and stain resistance.

Flooring tile should have a nonskid, stainproof surface. The slipperiness of a particular tile is rated by a friction coefficient and, more than anything, this is a factor that limits where or whether a tile should be used as a flooring material.

When shopping for tile, you’ll discover two distinctive types: 
Ceramic tile - it is the most common, is made of clay baked in a conventional kiln.
Porcelain - is made from fine white clay fired at an extremely high temperature, is much harder and often has the luster of stone; it is quite resistant to staining.

From home renovation to commercial construction Tile Metrics has your project covered. Choose among our wide selection of quality natural stone and tile flooring.

Travertine paversare made from a sedimentary rock, which means it is a rock formed from sediments covers 75-80% of the Earth’s land area, the sediments are compacted and converted into rock by the process of lithification.
When pure, travertine is white, but often varies from brown to yellow due to impurities.

Travertine pavers are one of several natural stones used by Tile Metrics in Oviedo, Fl for paving patios and garden paths. It is is characterized by pitted holes and troughs in its surface. Some installers use a grout to fill these holes, whereas others leave them open — travertine can even be purchased “filled” or “unfilled.” Travertine pavers are most commonly available in tile sizes for floor installations. A tile is a manufactured piece of hard-wearing material such as ceramic, stone, porcelain, metal or even glass. Travertine pavers are also one of the most frequently used stones in modern architecture, and is commonly seen as facade material, wall cladding, and flooring.

Some of the advantages of travertine pavers are:

- Its special look, very different from man made materials as it is cut from a natural stone. It is one of the best material choices for pool paving. One of the best features is that it stays cool underfoot in hot conditions, and it will not be hot on your feet.
- There is no efflorescence. Efflorescence is a discoloration. It is a white deposit, that sometimes occurs on the surface of concrete, often just after the concrete is done.
- Matching or coordinating pool coping is available. There are two different widths that you can use. The 6″ wide coping is a good choice when the pool is curvilinear, as there will be fewer cuts, and the 24″ wide coping size has a nice look.
- Travertine pavers have a natural non-skid surface. Traction actually increases when wet, which makes it perfect to be used around a swimming pool.
- Installation methods are the same as concrete pavers, which is dry laid.
- It the best choice for an outdoor paving material.
