Tile Flooring in Rockville Centre, NY

Hello, neighbors! Welcome to the wonderful world of tile flooring, brought to you by your friends at FD & Design Floors and Interiors. If you've ever thought about giving your Rockville Centre home a fresh new look, you've come to the right place. Tile is like magic for your floors, walls, and more. It’s strong, beautiful, and can completely change the feel of a room.

Let's discuss what makes tile so special, and answer all your questions. We want to make choosing a new floor as easy and fun as walking through Morgan Days Park.

Your Top Tile Questions Answered

We get a lot of questions about tile, and we love answering them! Here are some of the most common things people in Rockville Centre ask us about.

What are the most popular tiles you sell?

We have so many amazing tiles, but a few are definite crowd-pleasers. Each one has its own special powers!

• Ceramic Tile: Think of ceramic as the reliable best friend of the tile world. It's made from clay and baked in a super-hot oven called a kiln. It's tough, comes in many colors and styles, and is excellent for almost any room. It's also a fantastic value!
• Porcelain Tile: Porcelain is like ceramic's super-strong big brother. It’s made from finer, denser clay and baked at even higher temperatures, making it extra durable and almost waterproof. It’s perfect for busy areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and mudrooms, especially after a rainy day on the South Shore.
• Natural Stone Tile: If you want a one-of-a-kind look, natural stone is the way to go. Marble, travertine, or slate tiles are cut from the earth. Each piece has unique patterns and colors, making your floor an actual work of art.

How do I know I'm getting good quality tile?

That's a super important question! At FD & Design, we’re very picky about the tile we offer. We partner with the best brands and manufacturers known for producing high-quality, long-lasting products. We stand behind everything we sell. Our tiles come with manufacturer warranties, so you can feel confident that your beautiful new floor is protected.

Choosing the Perfect Tile for Your Home

Picking the right tile can feel like a big decision, but it doesn't have to be scary. We're here to help you figure out what's best for your space.

What should I think about when choosing tile?

Think about the room where the tile will go. Is it a busy spot? Does it get wet?

• For Bathrooms: You'll want something that isn't slippery and can handle lots of water. Porcelain and certain types of ceramic are excellent choices. They'll keep your floors safe and stand up to splashes from the tub or shower.
• For Kitchens: Kitchens see a lot of action! Spills, dropped utensils, and tons of foot traffic are common. You need a tile that's easy to clean and very durable. Porcelain is a champion here because it resists stains and scratches.
• For Entryways and Mudrooms: These areas are the first line of defense against dirt and mud from outside. Choose tough, scratch-resistant tile that is easy to sweep or mop clean.

What common mistakes should I avoid?

We want to help you get it right the first time! Here are a few common slip-ups to watch out for:

• Forgetting about grout: Grout is the stuff that goes between the tiles. Choosing the right color is important! A contrasting color can make your tiles pop, while a matching color creates a smoother look. We'll help you pick the perfect one.
• Picking the wrong size: A huge tile might overwhelm a tiny bathroom, while small tiles could look too busy in a large, open living room. We can help you find a size that feels just right for your space.
• Not thinking about texture: A smooth, glossy tile might be too slippery for a bathroom floor. A tile with a bit of texture can provide better grip and safety.

Our Expert Installation: The FD & Design Difference

Choosing the tile is only half the fun. What truly makes a difference is making sure it’s installed perfectly. Our installation team is the best in the business, and we take pride in every single job we do.

What makes your installation so special?

Our installers are true craftspeople. They’re not just putting tiles on the floor but creating a beautiful, lasting surface for your home. We pay attention to the tiny details that make a huge impact, from making sure the floor is perfectly level before we start to ensuring every grout line is clean and consistent.

When we come to your Rockville Centre home, we treat it with respect. We work cleanly and efficiently and don't leave until you are 100% happy with your new floor. Home projects can be disruptive, so we do our best to make the process smooth and stress-free for your family.

Beyond the Floor: Custom Tile Creations

Tile isn't just for floors! Its versatility means we can create all sorts of amazing custom projects. If you can dream it, we can probably tile it.

• Beautiful Backsplashes: Protect your kitchen walls from splatters and add a huge dose of style with a custom tile backsplash.
• Dreamy Custom Showers: We can build stunning, fully-tiled walk-in showers that turn your bathroom into a personal spa.
• Cozy Fireplaces: A new tile surround can give your fireplace a modern, classic, or rustic makeover, making it the star of your living room.
• Wow-Worthy Accent Walls: Want to make a statement? We can create an incredible accent wall using unique tile patterns, adding texture and color to any room.

We love getting creative! Let us know your ideas, and we can explore custom arrangements and designs to make your home uniquely yours.

Warm Toes and Easy Care

People love asking about two more things: heated floors and keeping tile clean. We've got you covered on both!

Can I have heated floors with tile?

Yes, you can! And it feels amazing, especially on a chilly Long Island morning. Many of our ceramic and porcelain tiles work perfectly with underfloor heating systems. Imagine stepping out of the shower onto a toasty, warm floor! We can recommend the right type of tile and the best heating systems to go with it, ensuring you get a safe and cozy result.

How do I take care of my new tile?

This is the best part: tile is super easy to maintain! Here are some simple tips:

• Sweep or vacuum regularly to get rid of dirt and grit.
• Wipe up spills quickly with a cloth.
• For a deeper clean, mop with a little warm water and a pH-neutral cleaner made for tile.
• We provide resources and guides to help you keep your tile looking brand new for years to come.
