An older brick house, semi-detached home, low-rise apartment and newer condo can all need a different surface and installation plan.

For Leaside homes

Choose for Older Houses, Semis, Apartments and Newer Condos

Leaside has a distinctive mix of older detached and semi-detached homes, low-rise apartment buildings and newer condos. That mix changes what matters when you choose tile or flooring. Older houses can need more attention to floor levels, original woodwork and the surface underneath, while apartments and condos can add building requirements, underlay and delivery planning.

Start with the age and type of home

In an older house or semi, check flatness, doorway heights, original trim and adjoining hardwood 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 basements, entrances and bathrooms, look at moisture, floor height, cleaning and transitions early. Those details can change which material is practical long before colour becomes the final decision.

Want to compare samples in person?
Leaside customers can visit The Tile Shoppe Scarborough at 85 Progress Avenue to compare tile, flooring, grout, trims and installation materials.

From Bayview Homes to Laird and Eglinton

A traditional Leaside house, a low-rise apartment and a newer condo can have very different floor conditions, room proportions and access requirements. Compare materials with the actual space, lighting, existing floors and everyday use.

Helpful answers

Questions Leaside Homeowners Often Ask

Practical answers for older houses, semis, apartments, basements, bathrooms and choosing tile or flooring before you order.

Is there a Tile Shoppe showroom in Leaside?

There is not a Tile Shoppe showroom in Leaside. You can browse online, use the room visualizer and visit our Scarborough showroom at 85 Progress Avenue when you want to compare physical samples.

Which Tile Shoppe showroom is most practical from Leaside?

Our Scarborough showroom at 85 Progress Avenue is the main east-Toronto option for Leaside customers. Check directions and product availability before travelling.

What should I check in an older Leaside house or semi?

Look at floor levels, the surface underneath, doorway heights, original trim and existing hardwood. Those details can affect tile size, flooring thickness and transition pieces.

How do I choose tile beside original hardwood?

Compare undertone, sheen and finished floor height. A sample beside the actual wood is much more useful than choosing from a screen because warm and cool tones can change once they sit together.

What works well for a Leaside entrance or mudroom?

Porcelain tile is often a strong option for active entrances because it comes in durable, easy-care finishes. Also consider wet footwear, grout colour, cleaning and the transition into adjoining hardwood.

What should I check before choosing basement flooring?

Start with moisture, the condition of the floor underneath, warmth underfoot and finished floor height. Vinyl, laminate and tile can all make sense in the right situation.

What should I check before replacing flooring in a low-rise apartment or condo?

Ask the building about flooring requirements, underlay or sound ratings, work hours and delivery access. Also check existing floor height and transitions before ordering.

Can large tile work in a smaller Leaside bathroom?

Yes. Larger porcelain formats can create a clean look, but layout, cuts, floor flatness and shower details matter. Compare the actual room dimensions before choosing the format.

Can I preview tile or flooring in my own room?

Yes. Use the Tile Shoppe room visualizer to upload a photo or choose a sample room, then compare colours, formats and floor directions before making a shortlist.

How much extra tile should I order?

There is no single percentage that fits every project. Tile size, pattern, room shape and the number of cuts all matter. Ask your installer to confirm the final quantity, and consider keeping a few extra pieces in case you need a repair later.

Before ordering, ask your installer to confirm that the product is right for the surface and that the quantity is enough for the layout.

Before you choose the final surface

Check the Existing Floor, Transitions and Building Rules First

The finish is only one part of the project. The age of the home, the floor underneath, existing hardwood, building requirements and finished floor height can all change what makes sense.

Choose for the Exact Surface

Confirm that the product suits the floor, wall, shower, wet area, fireplace surround or other surface you are planning.

Measure Before Choosing a Format

Room dimensions affect tile scale, cuts and transitions. Have the installer confirm the final quantity before ordering.

Compare Beside Existing Wood and Trim

Place samples beside hardwood, cabinets, trim and paint so undertones and sheen can be judged in the actual room.

Plan What Goes Under and Around the Tile

Talk with your installer about floor preparation, waterproofing, mortar, grout, trims and finished floor height before the work begins.

Three Leaside Details Worth Checking Early

Older houses, low-rise apartments and busy entrances can each introduce details that are easy to miss when choosing only by colour.

Original hardwood and thresholds

Check the height, colour and condition of adjoining wood floors before choosing new tile or flooring.

Basements need an extra look

Check moisture, the floor underneath, warmth underfoot and how the finished surface will meet stairs and adjoining rooms.

Apartments may have building requirements

Ask about underlay, sound ratings, work hours and delivery access before materials arrive.

Choose the finish after you understand the room, the floor underneath and the adjoining materials that will stay.

Make the final choice with confidence

Compare the Surface With the Real Room

A tile or flooring sample can look very different once it sits beside original hardwood, cabinets, trim, paint and existing floors. Older homes and low-rise buildings can also have floor-height, threshold and access details that are easy to miss until work begins.

Bring the real room into the decision before you order so the new finish works with the home instead of only looking good on its own.

Bring Existing Finishes

A piece of existing flooring, cabinet door, countertop sample or paint colour can reveal undertones that are easy to miss on a screen.

Think About Everyday Use

Wet footwear, pets, children, cleaning, natural light and the transition into the next room can matter just as much as colour.

Before ordering, ask your installer to confirm that the material is right for the surface and that the quantity is enough for the layout.
