Wondering if anyone has a suggestion on where to get bathroom tiles (subway, marble, unglazed hex, etc.)? Ive been to a couple of tile stores and Im finding the pricing situation and the lack of knowledge on the salespeople part frustrating.

I have a very good idea of what I want. In my past tile shopping expeditions I have been told that what Im looking for “doesn’t exist” (and of course it does, is made by multiple manufacterers and the store Im in carries it!); that what I would like to use is “not recommended” (and of course its specifically made for that purpose). Then when I finally get the pricing on those items, Im told that when we are ready to buy that they will give me a “better price” but they can’t tell me what it is. Um, how can I be ready to buy without knowing the final price?

This seems like incredible bullshit to me. Just tell me what the price is and be knowledgeable about your own products!

Help!!

  6. I highly recommend Mondial Tiles. Great service and selection as well as knowledgeable staff. Also, they discount for quantity. Most material is in stock!!!

  7. I second the recommendation of Classic Tile in Brooklyn. The gorgeous indigo blue glass subway tile we bought there for our kitchen was higher quality and lower priced than even Home Depot – and we got it a lot faster than Home Depot’s shipping ETA.

  8. if you are interested in driving to flushing, i found the lowest prices at flushing tile off of college pt blvd. it is about half a mile past roosevelt, main st. there are a bunch of kitchen stores here.

    i compared vs. tile depot on ryerson/bqe and it is a lot cheaper, amazingly.

    tried to get matte subway tile from tile depot after they quoted me $1.95 psf. then when i got there, matte was more expensive, and the brand i wanted, olympia tile, was the best brand. so they quoted me 5.75 psf. at flushing tile, got it for 2.75 psf. typical bait and switch at tile depot.

  9. Country Floors in Union Square/Flatiron has a gorgeous showroom. They are very expensive on the line of Ann Sachs but their warehouse is in Maspeth, Queens and you may be able to pick up there for a discount.
