Having fielded a lot of recurring, but important, questions from customers, suppliers and inspection companies about tile, I’ve found that there is a lot of misinformation out there and what better way to discuss tile related topics than here?
I look forward to helping you with your questions and sharing my thought on trends and product for tile.

Hello,
Last week, I spoke with Marc McPherson and Colin Au and they mentioned you guys can special order items like botticino tile from Turkey / Italy. In a few months, I’ll be installing an outdoor deck and have a need for between 1200 and 1500 feet of tile.
I want to use some of my 4′ x 4′ hand cut mosaics made with a botticino background (the light kind generally found in Home Depot, etc). Ideally the stone I want would be a mix of sizes (similar to Build Direct’s travertine antique patterns) in a tumbled, brushed, or honed finish.
I have samples of the travertine whose color is about right, Colliseo Light and Meandros Light, but I think I might like the appearance of the marble tile for the deck so it’ll be a little more monumental.
Let me know what you guys can do in terms of custom ordering that kind of marble tile. I don’t need an entire shipping container worth, only between 1200 and 1500 sq ft.
Thanks
