More durable than vinyl and more affordable than stone, beautiful ceramic and stone tile has fast become the flooring of choice in hardworking areas
like kitchens, mudrooms and baths. Now, thanks to Lowe's, having a custom ceramic tile floor installed is as easy as picking it out. View the vast selection of in-stock and special order ceramic, porcelain and natural stone (marble, travertine, slate and granite) tiles that will beautifully transition your space.
Let's Get Started
No matter which flooring you choose - carpet, vinyl, hardwood, laminate or ceramic tile - the basic steps of getting started remain the same.
- Visit Lowe's, where a specially trained Flooring Specialist is waiting to help you. Your Specialist will help you select the
flooring that best suits your style, taste and budget, as well as coordinate your installation.
- Schedule an in-home visit, where your installer will measure your space to ensure an accurate fit. (A deposit is required for this measurement
that will be credited toward your flooring purchase.) Your installer will note any existing damage to the walls or baseboards.
- Optional charges may apply. (Ask a Flooring Specialist for more information.)
- Purchase your flooring and installation services together.
- Your installer will call you to arrange a convenient time to schedule an appointment.
On The Job
Your installer will:
- Arrange delivery of your new flooring.
- Move normal household furniture.
- Prepare the floor for installation, including minor scraping and sweeping.
- Undercut door jambs as necessary.
- Install your flooring, including any required underlayment (where noted).
- Remove and haul away any existing flooring (except vinyl).
- Install transitions from your new flooring to other rooms.
- Clean-up once the job is done.
All Tiles are Not Created Equal
Tiles are rated by a series of standardized tests to determine their relative hardness. This rating describes the tile's ability to stand up to wear as well as the percentage of water they absorb.
- Class I - Light Traffic. Good for residential bathroom floors where bare or stocking feet are the norm.
- Class II - Medium Traffic. Designed for home interiors where little abrasion occurs. Not recommended for use in kitchens or entries.
- Class III - Medium-Heavy Traffic. Suitable anywhere in the home.
- Class IV - Heavy Traffic. Designed for both residential and light-to-medium commercial use.
- Class V - Extra Heavy Traffic. Use this tile anywhere, even outside.
