In the last two decades, more and more Americans have turned to ceramic tile and natural stone for their new homes or upcoming remodeling projects. Due to strong acceptance of these materials, the number of styles, sizes, colors, shapes and design possibilities continues to grow at breakneck speed. Concurrent with that, installation techniques have gotten better, faster and “greener.” The overall result is that the American consumer can be overwhelmed when thinking about which tile or stone product to select.

The organization behind this new potpourri of tile knowledge consists of Best Tile and Tile America, two of the nation’s largest tile & stone resources with more than 30 state-of-the-art retail showrooms located in ten states, from Vermont to North Carolina.
