Services
Porcelain tile can reduce the amount of energy needed for heating and cooling because of its exceptional thermal mass. This helps moderate temperature swings in your home which means less work for your HVAC system and more energy savings for you.
Porcelain tile also does not release any bad odors or unhealthy hazardous volatile substances. Porcelain tile is completely PVC and VOC (volatile organic compound) free - that means a healthier home for you. Formaldehyde is known to lead to an increased incidence of asthma. Tile has zero formaldehyde.
Porcelain tile is the perfect choice for bathrooms, mudrooms and the outdoors as it is impervious, spill resistant, and does not absorb water. You'll never have to worry about your floors getting cuts and scrapes again. Naturally scratch-resistant, porcelain tile continues to look good even after years of heavy traffic.
Each series of tile has a photo gallery associated with it. Please take a few minutes to browse and make note of the series name, color and size options. Feel free to call us for more information and pricing. We also carry many more styles that are not displayed on our website. Stop by our showroom daily, Monday - Saturday.
Schluter Systems specializes in floor and wall profiles, shower systems, including waterproof wall board, niches, drains, & pre pitched shower trays, as well as heated floors and floor underlayment (crack suppression membranes). Based on his extensive knowledge of tile assemblies, Werner Schlter has consistently met the needs of a rapidly evolving industry by developing practical solutions to tile installation challenges.

Awful experience!!! Do not buy from this company!! I spent nearly $1800 on tile for 2 rooms in my house from here and was planning on using them for the remainder of my 4,000 sq ft home. My husband is a contractor and has also used their product for many jobs. I came here to return a $38 bag of grout that I needed EXCHANGED for a different color and they refused to do it!!! The man claimed he "couldn't find my last name in the system with this item". Are you kidding me? What kind of customer service is this!! You just lost a loyal customer because you refused to exchange this bag of grout. I am

Mari is wonderful! She really was helpful picking out tiles and grout. I love the choices. She listens, does not try and sell you what she wants, she gets you what you need right away, and is very responsive to your questions and request. I would recommend RI Tile and especially Mari. Thank you! Linda E

This store offers superb tiles that we didn't find elsewhere in RI. We're very happy with the looks and quality of their porcelain tiles, including large format tiles.
Their showroom would benefit from better lighting.

This place and the people that work there are phenomenal!! We were assisted by Merri. She REALLY knows her stuff! She helped me coordinate my choices and recommended tile sizes that I wouldn't have thought to put together. I would and do refer people to this place! A+++ in my book!!!

This is one of the best places to purchase tile. We did a lot of price checking at various places and RI Tile had the best prices. The salesperson we worked with was able to point us in the right direction for matching tile to the granite we had purchased and for helping pick tile for inside the fireplace mantle.

Had to wait for about 10 minutes before someone even acknowledged me. There was one person that was there before me and he was being helped. Couple of meeting of waiting there another employee stoped by the front desk and asked the other customer who was already being helped if he was being taken care off. Did not even look at me. After 10 minutes another employee came by and asked if I needed help. I explained to him that he was the first person to acknowledge me after waiting for 10 minutes. He apologized and helped me find what I needed.
