Did you know that you can do virtual shopping at Tile Outlets of America?

That's right. You can shop online at Tile Outlets and pick up at the store. And, if you're not located near one of our stores in Fort Myers, Sarasota, or Tampa, we can quote you the freight to deliver the material to your job site or residence.

We're all faced with the challenge of “stay at home.” That said, we want to make sure you realize that it's possible to shop safely and work on the project you planned on.

Here's how.

How to Do Virtual Shopping at Tile Outlets of America

The TileOutlets.com website offers many tools for safe and convenient shopping from home. These four tools, in particular, are not only helpful but also to you available 24/7 and definitely ensure a safe shopping experience!

  • The Visualizer
  • Check out SHOP
  • Visit LEARN for DIY advice
  • Get product and design ideas from DESIGN and the ABOUT US - Video Library

Let's explore each of these tools.

Use the Visualizer to Virtually See Tile in Your Room

Have you tried the Tile Outlets of America room visualizer yet?

This will allow you to shop for items that will work in your space. It's friendly to use and fabulous for helping visualize how different floor tiles will look in your space or a generic space.

Simply pick the tile you love and Click “See this on my Floor”.

When you do, the visualizer prompts you to take a picture of your space or use one of the images provided.

If you don’t like the item you picked, you can easily select another product from the scroll window on the left. You'll find lots of options and tools to assist you.

See below how I selected the Monticello Silver Porcelain tile and dropped it into the visualizer to see a room view of the product. Nifty, no?

The visualizer is available on the TileOutlets.com home page if you want to check it out. It's also seamlessly integrated with specific tile and LVT flooring product selections in the SHOP section.

Please keep in mind this is a tool to use as you explore the various flooring products that interest you.

As you get closer to making a product decision, you will want to obtain an actual sample piece of tile or LVT home to make sure the color and texture are what you want for your space.

Samples can be ordered online or by calling the store directly.

Use SHOP on TileOutlets.com to Explore All the Products Available In-Store!

Tile Outlets of America is a one-stop-shopping solution for everything you need for your home remodel project: ceramic and porcelain tile, mosaics, LVT, cabinets, and vanities and installation tools and products.

To start your virtual shopping experience, you can simply click on SHOP from the top menu on any page of the website.

And on the home page, you'll find a quick link to some of the most popular product categories for easy access.

Add Items to Your Virtual Shopping Cart

When you find something you want, you can put that item in your cart.

You'll find a feature for calculating the square footage needed so you don’t have to do the math as long as you know the dimensions of your room. Click on "Tile Calculator."

Once the box opens up it will ask you to enter your room dimensions in the boxes and calculate the case quantity needed for that specific item.

Here's how the tile calculator looks.

Get a Shipping Quote

Once you've put items in your cart, you'll notice a drop-down box to generate a shipping quote.

Again this is a guideline for freight costs. Our expert associate will contact you to go over the details of the freight to make sure we meet your expectations before anything ships.

Please use this as a guide and let us confirm the freight with you. Depending on the size of the order or request we have lots of solutions.

Pick Your Order Up at the Store

If you prefer to pick up your order in the store, you can! We have available at no charge a FREE pickup at the location closest to you.

We can have your order ready for you, so just let us know when you will be arriving and we can meet you at the loading door.

This will allow us to practice safe distancing and you don’t need to come inside the store.

Virtual Learning Before Virtual Shopping

Not ready to shop, and want to learn first? Okay, no problem. You can do that, too.

Perhaps you're a DIY and want to install your job yourself. You'll find tools in the LEARN section of TileOutlets.com to help you with your project.

  • Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about tile, stone, mosaics and more
  • Tutorials for installing tile
  • Guidance on how to care for tile, stone and more
  • Selection considerations
  • What installation tools and products you might need
  • Product Knowledge videos showcasing how some tools and materials work (perfect in-between add-ons for your favorite Netflix shows!)

We want you to be successful in getting your projects done. If you don’t find what you are looking for, please call the stores and ask to speak to one of expert sales associates who can assist you.

Get Product and Design Ideas

Ultimately, virtual shopping starts with virtual dreaming. In addition to the articles published on the Tile & More Blog, you have two sections on the website to inspire you.

1. DESIGN

The DESIGN option in the top site menu offers you room-focused categories with visual inspiration.

2. About Us – Video Library

Under 'About Us' in the top menu, you'll find a video library that features the many interview segments done with Suncoast View over the last few years.

These segments address tile trends and specific product categories to show how they can be used to remodel different rooms and spaces in and around the house. Consider this section another binge-watching opportunity to learn more about many different categories.

Here are some of my favorite segments features.
