The Right Type of Flooring For Pet Friendly Homes

When you’re thinking about remodeling (or even building a new home), your flooring becomes a huge part of the overall design. However, in today’s day and age, pets have become a huge part of people’s families, which may cause some stress when it comes to thinking about flooring options.  The four legged pals that are part of the family will cause wear and tear to the floor, and it will only build up over time. If you can find pet-friendly flooring, it will not only last longer (even with your furry friends running all over it), but it will tie your whole home together. Read More

Busby Gilbert Tile Review

eleganza1Busby Gilbert Tile is a handcrafted tile company that prides itself on making each individual piece by hand. This creates variation in color and tone for each tile, which has a wave effect for the finished product. They are stone fired and very durable, lasting generations if cared for correctly. It’s a preferred tile company for professional designers and architects because of their high quality product.

They have glossy and matte in all the colors of the rainbow, plus the option of making them any shape you could desire. They also have relief decos with many designs and pictures to choose from. Would Busby Gilbert be a good company to research and look into?

The Product and Their Reputation

Busby Gilbert has been manufacturing home and kitchen tiles in Van Nuys, California for over 30 years. Their product has been used in many commercial spaces and even movie sets since their inception. Their history involves finding tiles for a rock star’s home and starting a company from that humble beginning.

It seems that they have quite a good reputation in California and have many high profile clients. This is always a good sign for a company. They are also small, which means that they will treat you as more than just another number. You would more than likely have a positive experience with this company, should you choose them for your home project.

Should you go with Busby Gilbert?

They are more expensive than the big box retail option, but are worth the price if you can afford it. It is always a better option to go for the smaller companies, because the product is higher quality and you will have a better experience overall. We say, look into Busy Gilbert and see if they could help you make your dreams come true with their designer flooring tiles.
