Tile Installation Services in Idaho
Urban Edge Construction handles tile installation across Idaho. Whether it’s for a living room, entryway, kitchen, or bathroom, we focus on putting in the tile that lasts and looks sharp. Floors take a beating, and quality tile combined with proper installation helps them stand up to daily wear.
We work with all kinds of tile types to fit different rooms and preferences:
- Ceramic – A go-to choice for many homeowners; it’s budget-friendly, low-maintenance, and works well in dry areas.
- Porcelain – Denser and tougher than ceramic; holds up in bathrooms, kitchens, and high-traffic spaces.
- Natural Stone (Marble, Granite, Travertine) – Adds texture and variation, perfect for statement floors or outdoor installs.
- Wood-Look Tile – Combines the look of hardwood with the durability of tile.
- Large Format Tile – Fewer grout lines and an open look, ideal for modern interiors.
Layout Options That Set the Tone
Our process combines solid planning and skilled labor. We measure carefully, prep the base properly, and lay out the tile to minimize waste and cut marks. Floors are meant to be walked on, not babied. We offer several layout styles to suit different spaces:
- Straight Lay – Clean and classic, it works in just about any room.
- Diagonal – Makes smaller rooms appear bigger and adds interest without going overboard.
- Herringbone & Chevron – Often used to give movement to hallways or entry floors.
- Grid with Borders – A defined center and edge, useful in open floor plans.
- Mixed Sizes – Random or repeating patterns using different sizes for a more laid-back, natural flow.
Grout Options That Matter
Grout isn’t just filler—it affects the floor’s overall look and performance:
- Standard Cement Grout – Basic and functional, they are available in various colors.
- Epoxy Grout – Moisture-resistant and extremely strong; great for kitchens and bathrooms.
- Sanded vs. Unsanded Grout – Depending on the tile spacing and surface texture, we’ll help pick the right one.
We also recommend sealing grout on floors to help resist stains and make cleaning easier.
Stairs, Steps, and Transitions
Tile Installation on stairs or areas with changes in elevation takes extra work. We pay attention to:
- Edge Trims and Bullnose Tile – Clean finishes where tile meets another surface.
- Non-Slip Tile Options – Especially for stairs and entries where wet shoes are common.
- Proper Adhesive Use – We use the right bonding materials to prevent tiles from shifting.
- Durable Grout Lines – Grout that can hold up without cracking or fading.
