What Kate's Corner is About.
Kate's Corner captures tile product trends and design influences seen in the marketplace. What Kate sees shows up on the Tile & More Blog and in the Design Ideas section of this website.
Those trends include wood plank tile looks, marble looks in porcelain, luxury vinyl tile, large format tile, gorgeous mosaics, pool tile, outdoor and patio tile and much, much more.
More importantly, those product trends and design ideas become products that you can purchase so you can create that look in your own home.
Special Ordering
By the way, special ordering is an option for some products.
Customers can contact our sales representatives to see if we are able to special order a certain product. We will try to locate the source and quote you for the job.
You'll also find many special order displays in the showrooms that allow us to special order products that aren't necessarily in stock in the Tile Outlets store but can easily be received within the week or sooner. That means you get to see a variety of products in stock and available via special order to make sure you find what you are looking for as a one stop shop.
If you have a large project that requires a specific type of product, please give us an opportunity to find you the exact item or value engineer a like item for your project.
We have many sources throughout the world to get product from and sure we can find a viable solution for your project.
