cost cutting ceramic tile overglaze!

Send us your white hexagon ceramic / porcelain tiles or small square tiles (up to 6") in a FLAT RATE, USPS box (about $8 for ANY weight), and we'll overglaze the hexagon tiles or other tiles in your color—awesome!

PLEASE DO NOT SEND STONE TILES! We cannot fire stone.

ONLY $25.00 per square foot!

Here is what you do...pull off the small hexagon ceramic tiles or square ceramic tiles from your square foot tile sheets in the pattern where you want your NEW color ceramic tile pattern to be placed. OR...just send us several sheets of ceramic tiles, or loose tiles. Always include a few extra pieces for spoilage.

Wrap the loose ceramic tiles, along with a color swatch for us to use as a guidelines, and pack the tiles in a FLAT RATE box from the USPS, along with paper/foam/peanuts, etc. Please make sure your tiles are well packed, so they don't bounce around loosely in the box, banging together, causing chips and cracks!

Ship the hexagon ceramic tiles to:

What we do is take your existing white tiles, apply a couple coats of glaze, fire the tiles to 2000 degrees in our kilns, and voila...a colored hexagon tile to match your decor at half the cost of our standard per square foot charge...awesome!

There are several ways you can own a custom floor from Tiles with Style that WILL meet your budget. The scenarios below start with a 100% custom floor, and takes you down to a minimalist custom floor design.

scenario 1 — the 100% custom floor design

You have a fabulous budget for your ceramic tile room and want us to create a custom, handmade ceramic tile room to remember. We can provide you with a solid coverage, or create special room effects.

Let's say this room measures 8' x 10'. An 8x10 room is 80 square feet. At the 2006, $55 PSF cost, this room would be $4,400 + shipping.

               This example shows a bordered rug design.

scenario 2 — a little less extravagant

OK, you say we're still not within your budget and you just don't want to tell us how much your budget really is for you...

You can always introduce some manufactured tile squares into our design, decreasing the custom tile area to a 4x6' custom leaf tile floor. Cost (based on 24 SF) $1,320. A significant cost savings of $3,080.

scenario 3 — still not quite in your budget...

Well, you like the mass leaf tile design, but your budget still only allows for 1/2 of the scenario 2 design...

This design removes close to 1/2 of the ceramic tile leaf area. Probably around 16 SF of leaves...Cost: $880.

scenario 4 — the rock-bottom ceramic tile leaf design...

If you have a small budget and would like to use our ceramic tile leaves in your ceramic tile leaf floor, look no further. This design has been used by numerous clients as a scattered leaf effect.

You purchase a small quantity of our tiles, and cut them into the joints of square manufactured tiles. It takes a little patience, but you just might have the ceramic tile design you've been waiting for all these years.

OR, just leave out a few manufactured tiles here and there and pop in some mosaic tile areas as shown to the left.
