Freebie Alert! 🎉
So, here's the scoop on tile pricing and what to watch out for:
Tile Size Troubles 📏: Think smaller tiles will save you some dough? Think again! Tiny tiles mean more grunt work and a higher "grout-to-tile" ratio. And those big boys? They demand more hands on deck, pushing up labor costs. Oh, and don't get us started on those quirky shapes... 🔄
Quality Quirks 🧐: A slight warp in your tiles can turn your tiling dream into a wobbly nightmare, demanding double the effort to get them laid just right. So, peep those tiles before they hit your floor or walls!
Shopping Smart 🛒: Eyeing those Italian tiles? Or maybe local tiles are more your jam? Here's a pro tip: It's not about the passport; it's about the quality and the shop's rep. And remember, beauty's in the eye of the beholder (or in this case, the designer).
Tile Testing 101 🔍: Don't let those tiles fool you. Give them a good ol' face-to-face smackdown to spot any warping and measure up to ensure they're not playing a game of "Who's the Biggest Tile?" 📐
Remember, Toronto, the perfect tile is out there waiting for you. With these insider tips, you're one step closer to making your home reno dreams a reality, without the nightmare price tag. Happy tiling, folks! 🎉🏡
