Tile Selections Made Easy

A Tile Selection comes after you've decided on the tile sample that you love. When working without a designer, you'll have some questions about what to do next. We'll help with all the details you might not know about or would not have considered.

Tile X Design does not provide installation or contracting services. For Minnesota Residents, we can only provide a contact list of contractors to jumpstart their search. We encourage all of our clients to seek out their own Tilers whom they trust and have responsibly vetted. 

Homeowner Support

Our Consultants are experts in project planning. Their assistance will keep your project within your style, and your budget.

Partnering With You On Your Project

A Tile Selection is the step between Sampling and Ordering. This is where all the details get ironed out, and the following items are typically seen on a selection sheet:

  • Complete name and size of the product you have chosen
  • The location of the tiles' installation (and the layout if applicable)
  • Calculated square footage allotment and cases needed
  • Grout information, such as brand and color code
  • Per-piece quantities for Special trims and/or Utility trims

If you've partnered with a Tiler or Contractor, you'll hand off your selection sheet to them to complete the final technical selections and proceed with ordering.

Going the DIY route? Our Consultants will help you identify issues or make recommendations before you place an order:

  • Are there any application vs material/finish conflicts that need addressing? 
  • Is a Self-Leveling system needed for your project?
  • What calculated overages are needed to account for breakage and the tile pattern?
  • Does your product require a special finishing sealant or installation tools?

They are SO NICE here. I’ve had the sales folk take time to do what feels like playing to me. Imagining different design options, experimenting w color, they make it fun.

I’m sure you know that there is a point with remodels where we hit a wall and it starts to become less fun and more work.  My wife and I stopped into your showroom today just to see what you had.  We both left feeling reenergized about our project.  Thank you!

The customer service I experienced at Tile by Design was unprecedented. I want to tell you that each and every employee I’ve interacted with (I’ve been out 3 times now) was professional, helpful and happy…. The tile is absolutely beautiful and everything turned out so well. Thank you to your entire team. I am a committed customer and will refer anyone I can to Tile X Design. You guys rock!

Michelle Hodge

I wanted to share with you how much I value your Plymouth showroom and the entire staff. Everyone in the showroom is very knowledgeable, personable, patient and absolutely a pleasure to work with. Tile X Design is generally my first and only source for tile! I like the selection and best of all the entire showroom staff. I personally have tile from your showroom in several rooms in my home. If a consumer is in our showroom and asks about tile selection I always refer them to your store.

Greg Yaghsezian – Hirshfields Design Resource

It’s obvious that you have worked hard to establish and communicate very high standards in (not only) the basics of customer service, but in the quality of the aesthetic experience. I’m sure you have a dedicated base of loyal satisfied customers and I’m taking my place alongside them. Well done!

Beverly Wiesner

It is always a real pleasure working with Tile X Design.
