Tile and stone flooring is a timeless classic. Stone flooring and walls in castles and mansions have set a standard for luxurious interior designs. The tile and stone industry has taken off in the last decade with new innovations and the latest in technology. The details with textures and color variations are remarkable.
Stepping into Visions tile and stone, inc. is awe-inspiring. The color, tile, stone and store layout all lend itself to envision a myriad of ideas for any indoor or outdoor space. The store carries numerous lines including stained glass and antique mirrored tiles.
Visions tile and stone, inc. owner, Dennis Pine, said the current trends include, “Large format porcelain, 10” x 59” hard wood and old concrete/industrial - look planks for floors and walls - and unique handmade glass, wood, porcelain, stone and gems in tiles and stones.”
Because tile or stone will last for generations, Pine recommends that customers choose the design they truly love. Making a good choice will play an important role with how the buyer feels about the space even after the popular trends change.
Pine explained that knowledge is key when purchasing. “Every tile or stone is not meant for every purpose. Glass tile is great for splashing in the bath but some cannot be submerged for use in a swimming pool.”
