Custom Tile

	Laying tile is art.  Sticking the tile to the floor is the easy part, coming up with a pleasing symmetrical design is the challenge especially in complex rooms.
	Sub-surface preparation is 90% of the work in tiling.  If the wood structure is not strong and flat, no tile job will last or look good.  Steam rooms like this require extra protection to keep water vapor from doing damage.
	Choosing natural materials that look good together is part of the artistic fun of the project.  In this case the black granite border brings out the black mica flakes in the granite.
	Stone floors can be really cold  to bare feet in the winter, a heated floor like this one is an inexpensive luxury that you will not regret getting.
	Tile is not just for bathrooms!  A quality tile job outside with the correct materials can add beauty without appearing too formal, in this case slate was used for an informal look.
	Cutting tile requires high quality tools along with expertise and patience, especially with fragile marbles like onyx.  Because of the mess, it needs to be done outside.
