Tierra Sol Ceramic Tile in Edmonton

Tierra Sol lists about a hundred collections, sourced mainly from Italy, Spain, China and Turkey. Looks range from brick, concrete, limestone, marble and terrazzo to wood, hexagon and penny round. Its site sorts tile by application too: heavy-wear and light-to-medium-wear commercial, floor, wall, and frost-proof porcelain for outdoors.

For Edmonton patios and steps, Tierra Sol lists frost-proof porcelain for outdoor use. Outdoor tile still needs the right base and drainage, which we plan with you.

Tile is only as good as what's under it. Before we quote, we look at the subfloor: how flat it is, how much it flexes, and whether it's concrete or wood. Large-format tile in particular needs a very flat surface. Edmonton's dry winters and freeze-thaw cycles are hard on entries and anything outdoors, so we talk through where the tile is going, what the room is used for, and how it will be cleaned. Our tile and stone flooring page explains how we plan and install tile.
