Bringing the Outdoors in: Your Tile Choices

From bold colors and eye-catching patterns to unique shapes and textures, our tile selection captures the essence of the Pacific Northwest. At I-5 Carpet One Floor & Home, we have options to suit every home in Chehalis and Aberdeen. Here’s a closer look at the different types of tile we offer:

• Ceramic Tile – Made from natural clay and sand, ceramic tile is a classic choice for kitchens, backsplashes, and showers. With colorful glazes and textured finishes, it’s perfect for adding personality to your space—whether you're channeling the charm of a historic Aberdeen craftsman or the warmth of a rustic Chehalis farmhouse.
• Porcelain Tile – Tougher than ceramic and built to handle whatever life throws your way. Its moisture resistance makes it a great option for mudrooms, bathrooms, and even outdoor spaces—ideal for handling wet boots in the winter and keeping cool in the heat of summer.
• Stone Tile – Love the rugged beauty of the PNW? Stone tile brings the outdoors in, mimicking the natural textures of local landscapes. From slate reminiscent of our rocky trails to limestone that echoes our coastal cliffs, stone tile is built to withstand Washington’s thaw-freeze cycles with ease.
• Wood-Look Tile – Get the rich, natural beauty of hardwood with the durability of tile. Perfect for homes that see their fair share of rain boots, pets, and adventure-loving families, wood-look tile gives you that cozy cabin feel without the worry of warping or water damage.

Enhancing Kitchen & Bathroom Designs

Tile flooring is a top choice for kitchens and bathrooms, standing up to the damp, ever-changing weather of the Chehalis Valley with ease.

Whether you're drawn to the rugged beauty of natural stone, the timeless elegance of marble, or the classic appeal of porcelain, tile lets you create a space that reflects the charm of historic Aberdeen homes or the cozy, cabin-style retreats found throughout Chehalis.

But tile isn’t just for floors! A stunning backsplash can instantly elevate your kitchen or bath, adding personality and flair. Go for a rustic stone look that echoes the natural beauty of Willapa Hills, keep it classic with sleek subway tiles, or add a bold herringbone pattern for a modern touch. Beyond kitchens and baths, tile can be used to customize your home in creative ways—think accent walls that make a statement, intricate mosaic inlays for a touch of artistry, or a durable and stylish tile hearth that transforms your fireplace into a cozy focal point.

How to Choose the Best Tile for Your Home

With so many gorgeous tile options, how do you narrow it down? Here are a few key things to consider when selecting the perfect tile for your space:

1. Durability Matters – If your home sees a lot of foot traffic—whether it’s kids running in from afterschool sports or pets tracking in the great outdoors—go for something tough. Porcelain and stone tiles are built to handle the wear and tear of daily life.
2. Match Your Style – Love the warm, rustic feel of a farmhouse kitchen? Or maybe you prefer a polished, modern spa-like bathroom? Whatever your vibe, your tile should complement your space. Classic subway tiles, natural stone, or bold geometric patterns can all help bring your vision to life.
3. Think About Where It’s Going – Not all tiles work in every space. Porcelain is a great pick for high-traffic floors and even outdoor patios (hello, all-season durability!). Ceramic shines on walls and backsplashes, while natural stone can create a stunning focal point both indoors and out.
4. Maintenance Level – Some tiles are fuss-free, while others need a little extra TLC. If you want something easy to clean and low-maintenance, porcelain and ceramic are your best bets. Natural stone, on the other hand, may require sealing to keep it looking its best.
5. Get Creative! – Tile isn’t just for floors and showers. Use it to create a striking accent wall, a colorful mosaic inlay, or even a cozy fireplace hearth.

Trustworthy Professional Tile Installation

We get it—DIY projects can be tempting, but trust us, tile installation is one job you don’t want to tackle on your own. Between precise cuts, tricky layouts, and the ever-important grout work, even the smallest misstep can lead to uneven floors, lopsided backsplashes, or tiles popping up down the road. And let’s not forget about Washington’s unpredictable weather! The moisture levels in the Chehalis Valley, from drizzly mornings to the damp chill of winters, can make proper tile installation even trickier.

That’s where we come in! Our experts at I-5 Carpet One Floor & Home specialize in all types of tile installations, from kitchen backsplashes to bathroom floors, fireplace surrounds, and even outdoor patios. As locals, we know how to install tile that stands up to the region’s unique climate—ensuring it won’t crack, shift, or absorb excess moisture over time. Plus, we handle all the tough stuff, from prepping subfloors to getting those grout lines just right, so you don’t have to.

And here’s the best part: with our Beautiful Guarantee, if you’re not completely satisfied with your new tile, we’ll replace it for free. No stress, no mess—just expert craftsmanship and beautiful, lasting results.

Tile Maintenance: Keeping the Shine

Life in Chehalis and Aberdeen means plenty of adventure— whether you're trekking through the lush trails of Lake Sylvia State Park, exploring the tidepools at Westport, or spending the weekend camping at Schafer State Park. But with all that adventure comes muddy boots, sandy shoes, and plenty of PNW rain, making tile maintenance a must! Luckily, keeping your tile looking its best is easy with a few simple steps:

1. Sweep or Vacuum Regularly – Dirt and grit can act like sandpaper on your tile’s surface. A quick sweep or vacuum (without the beater bar!) will help keep your floors looking smooth and scratch-free.
2. Mop with a Gentle Cleaner – A damp mop with warm water and a mild warranty-approved cleaner is all you need to keep your floors shining. Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach or ammonia, which can wear down the finish over time.
3. Wipe Down Backsplashes – Cooking splatters and steam buildup are no match for a simple wipe-down with a soft cloth and gentle cleanser.
4. Show Your Grout Some Love – Grout can trap dirt and moisture over time. A baking soda paste or grout cleaner will help keep those lines fresh and bright.
5. Seal Natural Stone & Grout – Some natural stone and unsealed grout need sealant every year or so to protect against stains and moisture buildup—crucial for handling the PNW’s damp climate. Follow manufacturer recommendations for how often to apply sealant.
