For Forest Hill homes

Choose for Older Homes, Apartments and Thoughtful Renovations

Forest Hill has a distinctive mix of older detached homes, pre-war and mid-century apartments, newer condos and village-area residences. That variety changes what matters when you choose tile or flooring. Older homes can need more attention to floor levels, thresholds and existing trim, while apartments and condos can add building requirements and delivery planning.

Start with what is already in the home

In an older house, look at the floor underneath, doorway heights, original trim and adjoining rooms before choosing a thicker floor or larger tile. In an apartment or condo, ask the building about flooring requirements, underlay, elevator booking and delivery access before materials arrive.

For bathrooms and kitchens, compare the actual room size, natural light, cabinetry and existing finishes so the new surface feels considered rather than disconnected from the rest of the home.

Helpful answers

Questions Forest Hill Homeowners Often Ask

Practical answers for older homes, apartments, bathrooms, entries and choosing tile or flooring before you order.

Is there a Tile Shoppe showroom in Forest Hill?

There is not a Tile Shoppe showroom in Forest Hill. You can browse online, use the room visualizer and visit one of our GTA showrooms when you want to compare physical samples.

Which Tile Shoppe showroom should I visit from Forest Hill?

Concord and Scarborough are both GTA options for Forest Hill customers. Check the route and product availability before travelling so you can choose the showroom that works best for your project.

What should I check in an older Forest Hill home?

Look at floor levels, the surface underneath, thresholds, existing trim and the floors in adjoining rooms. Those details can affect tile size, flooring thickness and transition pieces.

What should I check before replacing flooring in an apartment or condo?

Start with the existing floor height and the surface underneath. Also ask your building about flooring requirements, underlay, renovation hours, elevator booking and delivery access before ordering materials.

Can large tile work in an older bathroom?

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

What works well for an apartment or house entrance?

Porcelain tile and resilient flooring are common options because they come in durable, easy-care finishes. Also consider foot traffic, cleaning and the transition into the adjoining floor.

How do I choose flooring that works with original trim and woodwork?

Start with the finishes you plan to keep. Existing wood tones, trim, thresholds and adjoining rooms can help you choose a colour and floor direction that feels intentional.

How do porcelain and ceramic tile differ?

Both can be excellent choices. Porcelain is generally denser and is widely used on floors and demanding surfaces, while ceramic is common for walls and backsplashes. The product's actual application rating matters more than the label alone.

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, Building Rules and Transitions First

The finish is only one part of the project. The age of the home, the floor underneath, building requirements, adjoining rooms 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 in Your Own Lighting

Look at tile or flooring with cabinets, counters, paint, trim and adjoining rooms so undertones and sheen are easier to judge.

Plan What Goes Under and Around the Tile

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

Three Forest Hill Details Worth Checking Early

Older homes, apartment buildings and renovated bathrooms can each introduce details that are easy to miss when choosing only by colour.

Older floors and thresholds

Check flatness, doorway heights, thresholds and existing trim before choosing a thicker floor or a larger tile.

Underlay and building requirements

If you are replacing apartment or condo flooring, ask the building what type of underlay or sound rating is required before choosing the complete floor.

Original details can guide the new finish

Compare new tile or flooring with woodwork, trim, fireplaces and adjoining floors that will remain after the renovation.

Choose the finish after you understand the room, the floor underneath and any building requirements that affect the work.

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 cabinets, trim, paint and existing floors. Older homes and apartment buildings can also have floor-height, threshold and building-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 cabinet door, countertop sample, paint colour or piece of existing flooring can reveal undertones that are easy to miss on a screen.

Think About Everyday Use

Foot traffic, cleaning, natural light, furniture 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.
