Very knowledgeable and helpful.
Alison Waddell
Really great selection and people. They have good quality and a wide selection that works for all budgets. All their materials are good quality. Yani was incredibly helpful and helped us make some good decisions for our kitchen and washroom renovations. They have a lot more than tiles, including shower and bath systems and hardware. We found a good quality trough drain here too. We are repeat customers and this was the second time sourcing from this fine business.

They were very helpful to us in planning our shower installation. We bought porcelain tiles and a sliding door, both for a very reasonable price. We are considering a pre-fab floor, which is expensive, but promises better performance than the alternative. I would definitely recommend them highly.
Bert Hall
Needed builder tile for a 5 year old home (homeowner had only 41 pieces and I needed about 100). Had no idea what tile it was. The team at Ceramic Tile helped me figure out what the tile was, ordered it in and got me working within 1 business day! Thanks guys!

Matt Heary
Knowledgeable staff, family run business, large sample tiles that I could move around to compare different options in the showroom. Got a great deal on some end of stock tiles for a kitchen project and had enough leftover to tile the front hall!
Rohit Arora
Everyone I’ve dealt with here has made my shopping process enjoyable. They have a great selection of tiles from all the big companies and better prices. Sales staff are willing to work through design ideas with me and can pull out tiles to support my “vision”. Responsive via email, happy to send sample boards home.

FAQ
Is Slate Tile Durable?
Forged from natural minerals like quartz and calcite in extreme heat, slate is an extremely durable and solid surface that withstands everyday wear and tear. If you do accidentally drop something heavy and chip the floor, you won’t see quite a contrasting color difference as you would with ceramic or porcelain tile.
Is Slate a Good Outdoor Tile?
The higher-quality grades of slate tile are used as flooring because they’re stain-resistant and non-porous. It’s also hard to damage. All of these qualities make slate tile ideal for outside use as well. Indeed, a patio made of slate can be very striking, adding a strength to the aesthetic of your outdoor space.
What Are Slate Tiles Used For?
Slate tiles are used not only for flooring, but also wall tiling, back splashes, stepping stones, roofing, and a variety of other uses. Slate is probably the most common natural stone in general use.
Does Slate Tile Need to Be Sealed?
Like most other natural stones, slate tile flooring requires sealing to aid in water repellency and prevent staining and scratching, and sealer should be applied on a yearly basis. If the water leaves a darkened spot for longer than 10 minutes, it needs sealer.
Does Limestone Scratch Easily?
Limestone’s soft calcium-based makeup makes it easy to scratch. The use of the wrong cleansers, a vacuum with a beater bar, or simply dirt carried in from outside can all scratch limestone. However, there are home remedies for removing or concealing minor bruises. Mineral oil may be blotted into light scratches in darker limestone. If your stone is lightly colored, honed, or polished, start with super fine sandpaper and work your way up until the scratch is gone. Professional buffing, however, is recommended for deeper and larger scratches.
Does Slate Tile Crack Easily?
Although individual tiles sometimes crack, an entire roof made of slate will probably not have to be replaced for 50 years or more. Properly installed, slate also makes dependable flooring. Slate is a metamorphic rock with relatively weak bonds between layers, so tile made from it tends to split along those planes.
Is Slate Tile Slippery When Wet?
Slate tiles are resistant to water and this combined with their texture makes them a naturally slip-proof option that can work exceptionally well to help keep areas that are slippery when wet both safe and looking great.
Can You Put Slate on Top of Concrete?
Slate is a type of stone, so slate tiles are durable and ideal for outdoor applications. Slate tiles are best installed over a concrete porch because it is a more stable surface. These tiles should not be installed over damaged or uneven concrete.
Is Slate a Good Flooring Option?
One of the strongest standard natural stone flooring materials, slate has an inherent durability that makes it resistant to cracks, scratches, breaks, and chips. It is generally a very good flooring material for heavy-traffic areas.
Can You Drill Through Slate Tile?
Slate can also be used in a number of craft and home design projects, such as slate tiling. Often a project may call for drilling holes into slate. For this task, a proper-sized masonry drill bit is needed.
