I’ve recently completed a small master bathroom remodel in Fort Collins, Colorado with a porcelain tile which looks almost identical to natural slate tiles.
Modern porcelain tile is available with just about any look, pattern and feel you can imagine. The advantage is that you can have a space that looks like natural stone, such as slate, granite or marble, with the durability and maintenance advantages of porcelain tile. Natural stone requires a fair amount of regular maintenance whereas porcelain requires much, much less. With the right porcelain tile you can have the best of both worlds..
The existing shower in this bathroom was a small 3 x 3 foot space with an acrylic (fiberglass) basin. Once I started tearing out the existing shower we realized that the space behind the wet wall (that’s where the fixtures are) was an empty space which was walled in. By removing this and re-routing the plumbing we were able to add an additional 2 feet to the length of the shower for a comparatively roomy new shower.

I’ve recently completed a kitchen backsplash remodel with Florida Tile’s Urbanite Stone 6×18 Stratus Listello porcelain mosaics (think they could give that tile a longer name?
) with Florida Tile’s ‘Jeffery Court’ glass mosaics as an accent.
The previous backsplash consisted of 6 x 8 inch ceramic wall tile which was installed when the house was built and didn’t match the granite countertops very well at all. The homeowner’s decided they would like a more contemporary, updated look for their kitchen.
The backsplash was grouted with Laticrete’s SpectraLOCK epoxy grout (#1227 Hemp) which offsets the color of the main field tile just enough to accentuate the design of the mosaics. SpectraLOCK is an ideal grout for a kitchen backsplash because it is extremely durable, easy to clean, and virtually stain-proof. An ideal product for a kitchen.
