Kitchen Backsplash Ideas from an Arlington Kitchen Backsplash Contractor

Remodeling your kitchen can be quite an expensive undertaking. The average minor kitchen remodel cost in Texas according to Remodeling magazine is $19,226 while a major kitchen remodel is $56,768. Not every homeowner can afford those kind of prices, but luckily there are more affordable options that can help makeover a kitchen. The easiest and most affordable in my opinion, an Arlington kitchen backsplash contractor, is the kitchen backsplash.

There are many different material options a homeowner can choose from when designing their new kitchen on their own or with an Arlington kitchen backsplash contractor. Here are a few options to consider:

Porcelain or Ceramic tile is probably the most popular material used in our Arlington kitchen backsplash contractor remodel projects. There are so many to choose from, you are sure to find one that meets your style.

Glass tile is also a growing popular option that can add some flash to your kitchen. Some people shy away from it because they are afraid it is a fad that will not be still like in a few years.

Natural Stone is a timeless look that I love as an Arlington kitchen backsplash contractor. It is very regal looking however there is maintenance with it since you have to re-seal it every year or so which is easy to do.

Marble or Granite is a nice look as well. Most people that use this method use it as an extension of the same material they have on their kitchen countertops. It most likely will be the most expensive option I have mentioned so far.

Laminate countertops have lost their appeal to most homeowners but still are an affordable option for others. With the increased technology in laminate production, there are some cool looking laminates available.

Those are the main backsplash materials used by an Arlington kitchen backsplash contractor. However, there are others such as copper, stainless steel, composite and more. If you can think of it, it likely can be used as a potential kitchen backsplash.

Wood Look Tile Flooring Options and Costs

admin — Wed, 08 Apr 2015 16:31:02 +0000

In one of our recent blog posts we discussed the emergence of wood look tile flooring in popularity among homeowners. In this post, we going to dive deeper into the many different options and costs that a consumer can expect when shopping for wood like tile flooring at a retail floor store.

Wood look tile comes in both Porcelain and Ceramic tile. Ceramic tile in some instances might have a slightly lower price point, but not always true. Porcelain tile is a little more harder and most desirable for high traffic areas, while ceramic is still suitable for most areas of a residential home.

Wood look tile can come in many different sizes. The most popular lengths are 24″ and 36″. They can come in other lengths, some as short as 12″ and long as 48″. The longer they are the harder they are to install so you can expect to pay your installer a little more the longer the wood look tile plank, and often quite a bit more than your standard 12″x12″ tile. They can also come in many different widths, with some as narrow as 3″ and as wide as 6″, while most are 4″-5″ wide.

The aesthetic look of wood look tile can come in many different styles. Most have a nice rustic look with high detailed texture and some can have a very modern look, like a smooth Acacia. They come in many different colors, with the most popular being in the brown family, while modern colors like greys are growing in popularity.

Wood look tile can vary greatly in cost, just like real hardwood floors. You can expect to pay anywhere from $2.50 square foot to $7 square foot. A lot of the cost depends on the detail of the wood and the size.

Wood Tile Flooring

admin — Fri, 27 Mar 2015 20:45:52 +0000

Wood tile flooring is has become extremely popular among homeowners recently. Of course, real solid or engineered hardwood floors are more desirable for homeowners, but they are not practical for everyone or for certains spaces of a home.

Wood look tile is most widely used in wet areas of home, like kitchens, bathrooms, entry ways and laundry rooms. Wood tile flooring is very durable and less susceptible to water damage in these areas than real hardwood flooring. It is also popular for homeowners that have large pets or young kids where they have concern that real wood flooring get damaged easily and that wood tile flooring would hold up much better to that type of foot traffic.

The wood tile flooring can be made in both ceramic and porcelain tile. Although both are very durable and moisture resistant in comparison to hardwoods, porcelain tile is a little stronger than ceramic.

Pricing on wood tile flooring can vary greatly. There all different kinds of styles of wood tile and the pricing is largely based on the style of the wood tile. Some wood like tile floors are more detailed than others and some have more texture than others. There are many different sizes that the wood look tile flooring comes in as well. So there are many factors that play into the materials price, but you can expect to pay almost as much as real hardwood floors (material only) and often can expect to pay more for the installation since installation of plank tile is more tedious work than glue down installation of hardwoods.

So if you are looking at purchasing new floors and are concerned that your family’s lifestyle might lead to scratches, stains or water damage to your wood floors, look into an excellent alternative in wood tile flooring that gives you the wood look with durability.
