There is growing fascination among people to install tiles in their homes or offices for a neat and stylish appearance.

Ceramic Tiles are the best choice for Tile flooring as they are durable, resist heat and staining and in comparison to other tiles are reasonablypriced. Available in variety of colors, one can get these tiles in Glossy, dull and flat finish. Ceramic Tiles can be laid on different types of Floors such as cement slab, wood floors and on shower walls, countertops, etc to make them look beautiful. However it requires adequate skill in Ceramic Tile Installation to do it a perfect finish.

Granite is also used as the flooring material and on backsplashes. Granite Installation can be performed only by experienced Tile Installers who have the right equipments and also the expertise.

Marble Tiles on the other hand steal the show when it comes to giving a natural look to various areas of your home or office, whether it is floor, kitchen, bathroom, walls, etc. Marble installation is not a tough task but to avoid breaking and cracking of tiles during the process, it is advisable to hire a Marble Tile installer.

Apartment Carpet help ..... What should I do??


The carpet in our apartment is very old and nasty .. I wanted to install new carpet but after I calculate the cost I'm a bit iffy. I have a 3 year old daughter and I'm currently pregnant (due on halloween) & since my husband is the only one working were on a fix income. Let me add .. I'm not iffy on the cost of the carpet what I'm iffy about is the cost of installation. The two rooms that I wanted to get done is the living room and bedroom. Should I just install vinyl tile myself then lay a rug over it? btw under my carpet is just (pad &) concrete... What should I do??

Btw carpet cost that I calculated is $375 .. not including the pad ... pro-installer is $200 (for basic) .

I am also going to be installing a new bathtub, doors, screens tile, and a few extra.
Extra info .. both rooms are 10x13.

You might be able to get away with installing large remnants instead of buying carpet off the roll- Where I live we have 'Building 19' - a discount store with a little of everything, they have big remnants for cheap. With someone who is just a little handy, you could take up the old carpet, use the existing pad, and tack down the remnant, cutting it to fit your room exactly, so it would be 'installed' carpet. The place by us will even cut the rug for you- so if you know the room is 10' 1 inch x 13', they can cut it to fit your room exactly, and installing it should be easy.

Another time, we bought a remnant directly from a carpet store, and they cut it to fit a bedroom on site, you could never tell it was from a remnant, and the whole job was less than $100. But the room was a little smaller.

If that wouldn't work, or you can't find good remnants, you might want to find 8x10, or larger, room size rugs that you can keep when you move out- I assume carpet you install would be basically your gift to the landlord? That way there would just be a little bit of the old carpet showing around the edges . . .

Here is one idea of what you could buy online-

also can check stores near you- Marshalls, Home Goods, etc.

good luck-
