High-quality tile and natural stone in Lake Grove, NY

Whether you opt for ceramic, porcelain, or natural stone, tile is a beautiful and durable flooring solution that works well in any room, business, or outdoor space. With its moisture resistance and ability to stand up to heavy foot traffic, tile is truly made to last.

Built Tough

Strong & Stylish Tile Options

  • Ceramic and porcelain are both formed with extreme pressure and intense heat. Non-porcelain ceramic tile is made of a combination of white, red, and brown clay that is occasionally mixed with other minerals. While porcelain is similar, it also contains a type of crystal known as feldspar. When heated and pressurized, feldspar becomes glass-like, giving porcelain its shine and extreme durability.

  • Natural stone is commonly used in both flooring and countertops due to its beauty and durability. Common stone types include granite, marble, limestone, travertine, onyx, slate, and sandstone. Each will have its own cleaning and care requirements, and some are more porous than others. Research each type before choosing one for your home!

Installation Guide

Trust us with your tile or stone installation!

Tile installation can be messy and complicated. So, when it comes to your professional tile installation, trust the experts at Carpet Your World! Our professional technicians are efficient, thorough, and dedicated to your satisfaction.

Preparing for installation

To prepare, you must first empty the room of furniture and any valuables. You’ll then need to have your existing flooring removed. We can advise you on this step. Next, we’ll need to ensure your subfloor is clean, flat, smooth, and ready for your tile installation. If your subfloor is not concrete, we’ll need to install concrete backer boards before moving on to the actual tile installation.

During and after installation

The next stage is the actual installation of the tile. Our professional installers here at Carpet Your World will carefully cut and trim each tile, spreading grout and mortar and laying each one into place. Once the job is done, your new tile floor will need time to cure and solidify, so you will need to wait at least 48 hours before walking on your new flooring. The result will be worth it!

Care & maintenance

Tile is durable and beautiful, able to stand up to heavy traffic and moisture. However, it still requires proper care and routine maintenance to keep it in good condition over the years.

Easy Care

Tile Care & Maintenance

Keep your tile floors looking clean and performing their best with simple, everyday care. From regular cleaning to handling spills, a few easy steps help maintain durability, appearance, and long-lasting performance.

Daily Care

Keep your tile clean by sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping regularly. Use doormats and furniture pads to reduce dirt, scratches, and everyday wear in high-traffic areas.

Spills & Messes

Wipe spills quickly to prevent slipping and maintain a clean surface. Keeping tile dry helps protect both the finish and grout from damage or discoloration.

Safe Cleaning

Use manufacturer-approved cleaners and avoid harsh chemicals like acids or ammonia. Proper cleaning protects your tile and grout, keeping surfaces looking fresh and long-lasting.

Quick Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

One thing to keep in mind is that tile will take on the temperature of the air around it. This means that it will often be cold in the winter, so you may want to lay down area rugs or invest in some slippers! The only other challenge with tile is the difficulty of installation, which can lead to a more expensive job. Even with these things in mind, tile is a beautiful flooring solution that is both extremely durable and easy to clean and maintain.

Stone tile is usually cut to show off the natural texture of the stone from which it’s made. This includes all the natural variations and irregularities. Ceramic tile, on the other hand, is specifically manufactured to be uniform, looking and feeling the same from tile to tile. Stone tile also tends to need more maintenance, such as a periodic deep cleaning, due to its susceptibility to staining. On top of that, it can be more expensive up front. You get what you pay for, however.

Properly maintained, tile can last a lifetime! Porcelain tile will last the longest.
