Q about a tile for my kitchen

[kaylie]

You might want to ask on gardenweb. I'm betting it's a high end manufacturer. Some tile is rated for floor and wall and some is just wall, so you'll need to have the manufacturer's info to determine whether or not you can put it on a floor.

I wish I could be more helpful. It's beautiful. I love it. I have no idea where you could find it, but I'm willing to search a bit for you.

In searching, it does appear to be a floor tile. Still looking for wear to purchase it.

I think I found it or at least something similar asdfjkl

That is absolutely gorgeous. I wish I hadn't followed the link because now I am lusting after the entire collection.

Look at this tub!!!

I would ask a contractor about using this/tile with your floors. I know that the issue with wonky floors is the grout will crack and they will lift and break. I'm not sure if the non-straight grout lines would be worse or what. Not sure if you're contracting this out, but even a good estimator should be able to point you in the direction of whether this is a bad idea.

If you're not Diying this, can you just have the contractor put down a layer of self leveling cement? That's what has been recommended to us if we replace the kitchen tile.

I am definitely contracting this out. I haven't ever tiled before and this would be a hard job. I don't know about the concrete. I would worry about that increasing the weight of the floor too much?

It depends on the floor, how out of level, etc, but the patch material isn't especially heavy. Have a flooring contractor/specialist check it out and make you some recommendations. That said, its gorgeous tile and I'd go for it!

Not that you asked this, but I will throw out that you should contact Architectural Brick and Tile in Fishers. They carry a lot of high end tile (this probably included) and work with a lot of contractors and designers. Maybe they can give you a recommendation on a professional.
