Ceramic tile is a popular choice for kitchens and bathrooms,
but tile is popping up in unconventional places such as family
rooms, dining rooms, home offices, media rooms and exterior
patios and entrances.
Homeowners can find out more information about ceramic tile at
Pillar Ceramics at its new store-front location at Four Corners
Square in the city's South End.
Owner Christian Romero Herz has many years experience working
with ceramic flooring and natural stone. His showroom manager
Terry Vendetti is a well known interior decorator. Both know
how to turn customers' ideas into reality.
Ceramic tile is the hottest thing in flooring choices for
kitchen, bathroom and family room decor in Canada right now,
but it has been around for thousands of years.
The tile industry is very exciting these days with new products
such as 24 by 48-inch tiles that look like natural stone,
narrow 36-inch tiles that look like hardwood, glass tiles 24 by
12 inches, and even round tiles made from metal.
Romero Herz, who trained in Florida, says he is excited to show
off his showroom that features many diverse products.
He shows before-and-after photos on his wall-mounted flat
screen television set in natural stone. Pillar Ceramics staff
say they listen to customers' needs and try to bring them the
fashion-forward products they see on television shows and in
decorating magazines. For more information phone 522-4141.
