Bathroom Remodeling Jul 8

When it comes to choosing the right flooring for your bathroom remodel, there is more to take into account than just personal style, colors, and patterns. Some specific factors must be considered. For example, is the type of flooring you want impervious to water? Does it stain when makeup takes a spill? Does it meet slip resistance standards? With these considerations, finding a flooring option that meets your standards is an easy task. Here are some of the most common nominees in bathroom floor surfaces.
Ceramic Tiles
These are the most common types of bathroom flooring. They differ majorly from wall tiles in that they are designed with more of a grain to avert slippage and provide better traction. Ceramic tiles measures anywhere from 4 by 4 inches to 2-feet square with a typical thickness of between half inch and three-quarter inches thick. These tiles are available in a broad assortment of colors, patterns, and shapes. One major advantage of ceramic tiles is that they are highly durable and hygienic. However, when selecting ceramic tiles for your remodeling needs it is vital that you pay attention to the porosity rating. Porosity classifications range from vitreous, semi-vitreous, non-vitreous, and impervious.
Laminate

One amazing feature of the laminate is that its surface can be printed with a photographic image onto a thin decorative layer that is coated with a wear layer. The image’s high resolution makes the laminate appear real and can even mimic a variety of other materials such as a wood grain.

From start to finish Kurtis was a great company to work with. From the initial contact and design concept with Gregory Holster to the cabinet drop off team, the install team led by project manager Jeff Tuomi and the countertop company, the project was on time and all work was performed beyond expectations. This was greatly appreciated seeing as it was completed on December 23. All the people involved were professional and did an excellent job.
Shanna was our project consultant. Picking out cabinets along with counters can be somewhat overwhelming but her knowledge & experience helped us make the right decisions. Dylan & Juwan unloaded truck & Dylan check off ship ticket to make sure all boxes were accounted for. Courteous & pleasant to talk to…nice job of stacking everything neatly in our garage. We couldn't be more pleased with the service & so happy with our kitchen
We recently worked with Lauren on cabinetry for a master bathroom renovation. She was great to work on the design and selections. Lauren was efficient and responsive from cabinet selection through ordering. Our overall installation was smooth. We had some unforeseen circumstances impacting our ability to accept delivery of our cabinets on the initial agreed upon date. Kurtis was very accommodating in rescheduling delivery given our project challenges. We couldn't be happier with our cabinets for this project.
We had complete renovations to our kitchen and main bathroom. From start to finish, the design with Shanna was exactly what we asked for and Jeff stayed on top of the renovations, communicating each step of the way. Every worker was professional and the final product is elegant and functional. We were very happy with Kurtis and would choose Shanna and Jeff again.
We love our new kitchen! Kurtis Kitchen & Bath did an outstanding job, and Adrian at the Clarkston location was exceptional to work with—creative, patient, and really listened to what we wanted. The project was well-organized, and we went from demo to a fully functioning kitchen in just 30 days. Highly recommend!
