Start with the age of the home and the room
In an older house, check flatness, doorway heights, existing trim and the floors in adjoining rooms before choosing a thicker floor or larger tile. In a newer home, look at how the kitchen, hallway, living area and entrance connect so the finishes feel intentional from room to room.
Basements deserve their own check. Look for moisture, understand the condition of the concrete floor and think about warmth underfoot and the height where the new floor meets other rooms.
Oshawa customers can visit The Tile Shoppe Scarborough at 85 Progress Avenue to compare tile, flooring, grout, trims and installation materials.
