Are you dreaming of a home where style flows seamlessly from your living room to your patio? At Foothills Flooring & Tile, we specialize in creating stunning, unified spaces with premium indoor and outdoor floor tiles and expert tile installation services that bring your vision to life.

Why Choose Unified Indoor & Outdoor Floor Tiles?

Imagine stepping from your kitchen onto your patio and feeling that same sense of beauty and quality underfoot. Using coordinated indoor and outdoor floor tiles isn’t just a design trend—it’s a lifestyle upgrade. Here’s why:

• Visual Continuity: Matching or complementary tiles erase the boundary between inside and out, making your home feel larger and more harmonious.
  
• Practicality: Durable, easy-to-clean tiles mean less maintenance, indoors and outdoors.
  
• Value: High-quality tile installation boosts your property’s appeal and resale value.

Indoor Tile: Beauty Meets Durability

Your home’s interior deserves flooring that’s as tough as it is beautiful. Our indoor tile selection includes:

• Porcelain and Ceramic Tiles: Ideal tile flooring for kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, and hallways. They’re resistant to stains, scratches, and moisture.
  
• Natural Stone Tiles: Adds a touch of luxury and timeless elegance to any room.

We help you choose the right color, texture, and pattern to complement your décor, whether you love modern minimalism or rustic charm.

Outdoor Tile: Built to Brave the Elements

Outdoor spaces deserve beautiful, durable surfaces—but in Maine, outdoor tile requires careful consideration. While our tiles are:

• Slip-Resistant: Prioritizing safety around pools, patios, and walkways.
• Weatherproof: Designed to resist fading, cracking, and frost in many regions.
• Stylish: Available in stone, wood, and concrete looks to complement any design.

Maine’s harsh winters, deep frosts, and ground heaving conditions make outdoor tile a less-than-ideal option unless installed under a covered or roofed system. We’ve completed outdoor installations successfully, but it’s important to understand the risks involved. If you’re considering tile outdoors in Maine, we’re happy to discuss the best approach to balance beauty with long-term performance.
