Tile Materials We Install
We work with a wide range of high-quality tile materials to suit both residential and commercial projects. Our team installs marble, mosaic, travertine, ceramic, glass, porcelain, and natural stone, each selected for its durability, design appeal, and performance. These materials are commonly used in showers, kitchen backsplashes, laundry areas, Pullman bathrooms, and decorative features. Natural stone is frequently used for custom shower pans, while porcelain and ceramic offer durable solutions for high-traffic areas. Our installers ensure each material is properly prepared, installed, and finished to deliver a clean, long-lasting result that enhances the overall space.
Surface Preparation, Lath & Scratch, and Float Work
Proper surface preparation is essential for a long-lasting tile installation. Our team specializes in prep work, lath and scratch applications, and traditional float methods to create a strong, level foundation before tile is installed. Lath and scratch techniques help reinforce surfaces and provide the proper base for mortar adhesion, while float work allows us to achieve precise leveling and smooth surfaces for walls, floors, and shower areas. These time-tested methods are especially important in showers, wet areas, and large tile installations, ensuring stability, durability, and a professional finish. By combining proven traditional techniques with modern materials, we ensure every tile installation starts with a solid and properly prepared base.
Waterproofing Systems
Proper waterproofing is one of the most important steps in any tile installation, especially in showers, wet areas, and outdoor spaces. At Interior Tile Designs Inc., we use proven waterproofing systems to protect surfaces from moisture intrusion, mold growth, and long-term structural damage. Our team installs trusted industry products including AquaDefense, RedGard, Schluter-Kerdi systems, Mapei waterproofing solutions, HardieBacker cement boards, and HydroBlok panels to create a reliable moisture barrier before tile is installed.
​
These systems are designed to seal joints, corners, and surfaces to prevent water from penetrating behind the tile. Waterproofing is especially critical in showers, shower pans, laundry rooms, outdoor pool showers, and other high-moisture environments, ensuring the installation remains durable and compliant with California building codes and industry standards. By combining high-quality materials with proper installation techniques, we help ensure every tile project is built to last and protected from water-related damage.
