The book is divided into four sections - Part 1, EARTH, describes tiles made of natural materials and their uses - ceramic and porcelain; stone, terracotta, and brick; and cork, wood, and leather. Part 2, MAN, describes tiles of man-made materials and their uses - glass, metal, and concrete; and rubber, laminate, and vinyl. Part 3, ART, offers a selection of unique uses of decorative tiles and mosaics, and offers step-by-step instruction on creating special artisitic projects with tile, such as creating a patterned "rug" of tile. Part 4, INSTALLATION, is a complete guide to installing tile, whether you are hiring someone to do the job or doing it yourself. For the latter, three complete step-by-step chapters are included, detailing the installation of tile in the kitchen, in the bath, and on the floor.

One of the BEST!
7 Feb 2006
By Monica S.
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I have always been an avid DIY'er and a passionate lover of tile, so I have just about every book on the subject. I've been waiting for the release this newest book TILE STYLE and let me tell you, it does not disappoint. Truly an all inclusive book, it covers in great detail everything tile including natural stone, glass, metal, mosaics, terra cotta, brick, porcelain, ceramic, cork and numerous decorative tiles. Not only will you learn the qualities of each, but how to chose, design with, install and care for them as well. The book is filled with beautiful photos of tiled rooms (even the installation sections are full color). And when it comes to the installation sections, this has to be one of the most detailed, yet simply presented of my entire collection. Plus, the projects incorporate the newest setting methods and materials in conjunction with the most current trends in kitchens, baths and flooring such as a granite tile countertop, a glass and metal backsplash and setting a travertine tile floor! Beautiful, extremely informative and cutting edge - a must have tile book!

Format:Hardcover
This is a great book about tile. It has creative, inexpensive ways to upgrade your tile look and to help enhance your end result. There are beautiful pictures of tile work someone would actually install into their own home. Highly recommend this book for the person who is looking for creative ideas.

This book has some wonderful examples of tile projects to inspire you to do your own. After I read the book I did my own project and it turned out well. The book is packed full of useful information to help anyone complete their own project.
