Tile Installation & Repairs

Tile provides a durable, attractive, and versatile surface for bathrooms, kitchens, floors, backsplashes, showers, and other residential and commercial spaces. KWG Construction Group professionally installs and repairs ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, mosaic, and glass tile with careful preparation, precise layout, and clean finishing details.

Ceramic Tile

Ceramic tile is made from clay that is shaped, fired, and commonly finished with a protective glaze. It is available in many colors, patterns, sizes, and textures.

Benefits:

  • Wide variety of designs
  • Easy to clean and maintain
  • Generally more affordable than porcelain
  • Well suited for walls, backsplashes, and many residential floors
  • Individual damaged tiles may be replaceable

Important considerations:

Ceramic is generally more porous and less dense than porcelain. Not every ceramic tile is rated for floors, wet areas, freezing conditions, or heavy traffic, so the product’s intended application must be verified.

Porcelain Tile

Porcelain is a denser and less absorbent type of ceramic tile. It offers excellent durability and is commonly used in bathrooms, kitchens, entryways, commercial spaces, and other high-traffic areas.

Benefits:

  • Dense and highly durable
  • Low water absorption
  • Good resistance to stains and everyday wear
  • Available in wood-, stone-, concrete-, and marble-inspired designs
  • Suitable for many interior and exterior applications when properly rated

Important considerations:

Porcelain is heavier and harder to cut than standard ceramic tile. Proper tools, surface preparation, mortar selection, and installation techniques are essential.

Natural Stone Tile

Natural stone tile is cut from materials such as marble, granite, slate, travertine, and limestone. Each piece has unique colors, textures, and natural variations.

Benefits:

  • Genuine, premium appearance
  • Every tile has unique natural characteristics
  • Available in several stones, finishes, and patterns
  • Can create distinctive floors, showers, walls, and entryways

Important considerations:

Many natural stones require sealing and specialized maintenance. Stone can vary in porosity, hardness, stain resistance, and suitability for wet areas. Natural variation is part of the material and should not be treated as a defect.

Mosaic and Glass Tile

Mosaic tile consists of small pieces arranged on mesh-backed sheets. It may be made from ceramic, porcelain, glass, stone, metal, or a combination of materials. Glass tile is especially popular for backsplashes, shower accents, and decorative walls.

Benefits:

  • Ideal for patterns, borders, niches, and decorative features
  • Suitable for curved or detailed surfaces
  • Available in many materials, colors, and shapes
  • Some mosaics provide additional traction on shower floors

Important considerations:

Small tiles require careful layout and consistent grout joints. Glass and translucent materials may require specialized mortar, cutting tools, and installation methods. Not every mosaic or glass tile is approved for floors or submerged areas.
