It’s a Sign!

A Mann Tile sign, that is. So glad to finally have a lit sign above our storefront!

Also, coffee. Meet our Keurig– kindly donated by our friends at Burnett Painting. If you weren’t sure whether or not to stop by our tile store, this may help with the decision. 😉

We are making progress on our display room! (previously known as “the green room” for obvious reasons, but it’s not so green anymore)

Finished painting! What do you think?

The shower is almost ready to have tile installed and we have wood-look tile for the floor… coming soon!

We’ve been incredibly busy over the past several months, installing tile on everything from showers to floors to backsplashes. Here is a sampling of the tile work we’ve done lately…

An example of a “listello” in a shower, made up of a row of tile set diagonally and framed by a thin deco band on top and bottom.

Love this corner seat! Beautiful material choice and installation.

Three marble corner shelves for holding shampoo and so forth.

The whole shower, just waiting for fixtures.

This shower had some severe water damage…

This is the reason we don’t do traditional showers any more… the “waterproofing” just isn’t reliable, which creates a whole host of problems, from mold and mildew to structural damage.

Here’s the shower floor, now properly waterproofed with Schluter (aka The Orange Stuff)

We often do the entire shower, including the ceiling.

In this case we even did the wall near the shower.

Here’s Sean, one of our regular sub contractors, taking a break from installing the tile to pose for Rob.

And tada! The finished shower. Linear listellos are the “in” thing right now–and we have been doing a lot of the pebble shower floors as well. They now have a very up-to-date shower… may need to redo the wall paper though. 😉

These green pebbles are pretty much my (Carissa’s) favorite.

Another cool looking shower… white field tile set in a herringbone pattern with a green and blue glass listello.

Very interesting design on this one… Vertical subway tile framed by blue glass mosaics.

And now for a totally different look– a more classic stone look shower, with a few modern touches, such as the glass corner shelves.

Wonderful detail and “movement” on these tiles… natural stone look with all the benefits of porcelain tile. Much easier to care for.

Aaannnnd here’s the whole shower.

Pebbles on the floor and listello make for a lot of character in a shower.

Blue glass and marble listello–very pretty and clean.

Josiah working on the grout on a wall we tiled.

Inside the shower… nice wooden seat, corner shelf, and grab bar.

Understated yet detailed listello. This is a great look if you like something a little more interesting but aren’t up for all the bold and crazy stuff.

Gorgeous stone-look tile…  on a bathroom floor, wall, and around the tub.

Simple but elegant entryway design.

Neat “two tile” pattern with 12×12 and 12×24 tiles.

A small bathroom we did at no charge for a local ministry we support, called Pregnancy Solutions.

And there you have it, a little of what we have been up to lately here at Mann Tile. Hope you enjoyed!
