The Perfect Tile- for YOUR Project

Have a New Tile Project? We Can Help!

There are a lot of things to consider when you start a new tile project: color, style, material, trims, decorative elements, grout, and of course, your budget!

Don't worry if you're not sure what type of tile you want. Global Sales can walk you through the choices to find the perfect tile for your project. We represent four trusted tile lines, with options from porcelain and ceramic to travertine, marble, glass, metallics and natural stone.

Emser Tile

For high-end designer looks, our go-to tile line is Emser Tile. Emser is an industry leader in design, with styles that include contemporary, traditional and rustic. They offer a stunning selection of shapes, patterns and finishes in unique combinations of materials and colors.

Emser's designers recreate a variety of finishes including wood, metallics and concrete, utilizing an assortment of materials including glazed ceramics, porcelains, and natural stone.

Their collections include the latest trends in fashion, colors, finishes, textures and patterns, with a broad assortment of coordinating trim and accent pieces.

Maria Talutis with Global Sales offers a helpful tip for coordinating floor or wall tile with trim and accent pieces.

Florida Tile

It's important to work with manufacturers that provide quality and consistency. That's why Florida Tile is one of our favorite suppliers of high quality tiles. They offer a wide selection of materials such as porcelain, ceramic, natural stone, metal and decorative glass, and you can find the right style for your project in a wide array of color and texture options.

We like the high-definition porcelain tile offered by Florida Tile. With natural-looking finishes like wood, marble and stone, their production method provides incredible detail in the printing and almost eliminates the problem of the pattern repeating from tile to tile. Many of their tile options come with coordinated trim packages. Should you ever require additional tile for repairs, products from Florida Tile are dependably consistent, making it easy to match the tile flooring you already have.

Mohawk

Mohawk is an industry leader in all types of flooring, and we like their tile line for the price point and great value offered for a variety of attractive ceramic and porcelain tiles. Their line includes natural looks like stone and wood, in a range of size formats that include both squares and planks.

Many of Mohawk's field tiles are available with coordinating inserts, mosaics and listellos.

MS International

Decorative tiles and trims can be used to create a truly custom treatment. We like MS International for their huge variety of unique tiles, trims and mosaics. MSI supplies a wide assortment of materials including granite, marble, travertine, porcelain, slate, limestone, onyx, ceramic, quartzite and sandstone. They feature rich shades and textures in a range of sizes and patterns that inspire one-of-a-kind designer looks.

For example, MSI has a large selection of decorative backsplash tiles that combine a high-contrast mix of textures and elements such as natural stone, glass and metals. Their versatile palettes, finishes and materials come together to create distinctive designs.

Our service doesn't stop when you place your order. Tile is heavy, right? We want to make sure that you get all your materials on time, and at a reasonable shipping cost. We specialize in shipping to the Caribbean and Bermuda, and we're experts at freight consolidation. We understand the rules, shipper policies, and regulations, and know how to use them in your favor to get the most value possible out of your shipment.

Outdoor Lighting That Holds Up in Coastal Climates

Make the Most of Island Living- with Great Outdoor Lighting

Beautiful outdoor lighting will add curb appeal to your home, increase the safety and functionality of your outdoor spaces and enhance the value of your property. By following a few simple steps, you can create an outdoor haven to be enjoyed after dusk.

Wave Lighting flood lamps

Start with a Plan

Define your objectives for your outdoor lighting. For safety purposes, good outdoor lighting eliminates trip hazards on walkways and stairs. Security lights discourage intruders. Task lighting increases the functionality of outdoor living spaces such as decks, patios and grills after daylight hours. Well-placed landscape lighting provides hospitality to visitors and highlights the beauty of your property.

Progress pathway lighting

Develop a lighting plan by sketching out a simple diagram of your outdoor space. Include any structures, fences, walls, walkways, driveway, garden areas, large trees, etc. Consider lighting for focal points, entryways, walkways, and outdoor living spaces. The best plans include a variety of lighting techniques.

Silhouette effect created by Progress

Decide what types of lighting will be required for each area- for example, you may want to brighten a pathway with low lighting, or create drama by directing light up into a tree.

A good way to determine placement is to use a flashlight after sunset to illuminate each location. Be careful not to over-light. A common mistake is to place too many fixtures in one area, creating overly bright areas, glare, or a "runway" look on pathways. Remember that with outdoor lighting, less is often more.

Wave Lighting is   Oceanside Approved

Install Fixtures that Last

Choose the right fixtures to create the desired effect. There are many types of outdoor fixtures available, including floods, directional spots, deck and patio lights, path lights, in-ground lights, hanging lights, lamp posts, and more. Purchase the best quality your budget will allow, and take into consideration environmental factors such as proximity to salt water and harsh weather conditions. We recommend Wave Lighting for our customers who live in coastal climates.

Most outdoor lighting won't hold up when exposed to sea air and salt. Charlie Erkens from Global Sales explains why Wave Lighting is ideal for coastal climates.

The Right Materials for Your Lighting Plan

While low voltage lighting can be installed by do-it-yourselfers, 120-volt lighting may be better handles with the expertise of a licensed electrician to install the wiring and electrical components. Whether you plan to install your outdoor lighting yourself, or hire the services of an electrical contractor or lighting consultant, you can find everything you need for your outdoor lighting project at Global Sales.
