I don’t recall. I know the tiles were around $700 and I remembered that the installation was more than that.

ouch, may I ask how much? I thought since the area is rather small it would be reasonable…My area would be the same

Yes, I’m certain I used some cracked tiles in the same way. The installation was more expensive than the tiles, by the way.

Yes, I’m looking at getting the black border tiles from them. The tiles look amazing, and I like the mix of old and new. I have to reuse some cracked tiles that I could lay in the corners where there’s no foot traffic

The place is amazing. I figured I would never find the correct encaustic tiles to allow me to restore it, and was resigned to replacing the vestibule floor. But these folks had even the same colors and patterns. What a find!

That looks amazing! I still need some black border tile but otherwise am good to go.
How long ago did you have this done?

It’s just that the grout spacing is not the same for all the tiles, if you’re not careful it won’t line up. Also, it’s like a one shot deal, I don’t have too many extras otherwise I would handle it myself

Those guys are long dead.

It is a fairly simple installation with the tiles cut already. Any decent tile installer should be able to handle it. But I don’t have any recs.

Those are nice tiles – where’d you find them?
