Tile Installation By The Book
Regardless how beautiful tile or stone finish may look, its performance is what is the most important. A good tile installation is easy to maintain over a long period without the need for repairs or replacement. This is achieved through the skilled installation by professional tile contractors who properly use products and materials that are suited for the conditions the installation will be subjected to.
Because there are many factors that can affect tile & stone performance, each installation must be treated as a system rather than simply a decorative finish. It must be properly designed and installed to withstand in-use conditions. This is why tile & stone has to be installed by professionals who are truly qualified and committed to following industry standards. Star Tile & Stone LLC is one of them providing our customers with high-quality installation services with a long-term warranty!

Thin-set and large & heavy tile mortars are designed specifically to install ceramic or stone tile products, but they were never intended to patch or “fix" uneven walls or floors. As professional tile contractors, we use proper patching and self-leveling products to provide a surface that will be suitable for installing tile within the prescribed tolerances by industry standards.

Professional tile installation provides a permanent finish but its true quality is deeply influenced by the stability, permanence, and precision of installation of the backing or base materials. Evaluation of tile & stone work only by its aesthetic appearance is understandable when it comes to homeowners who have little technical knowledge, but truly professional tile contractors must rely upon much deeper criteria which is as simple as this, "Is the preparation and installation work done per the current industry standards?"
