Start with the age and type of home
In an older house, check flatness, doorway heights, existing trim and adjoining floors before choosing a thicker floor or larger tile. In an apartment or condo, ask the building about flooring requirements, underlay, delivery access and work hours before materials arrive.
For bathrooms and kitchens, compare the actual room size, lighting and fixed finishes so the tile scale and colour work with the space instead of only looking good as a sample.
Don Mills customers can visit The Tile Shoppe Scarborough at 85 Progress Avenue to compare tile, flooring, grout, trims and installation materials.
