All About Tile & Countertops

As you shop for tile and countertops in St. Paul, there are many factors to consider.

Ceramic Tiles

Ceramic tile is made from clay that’s superheated under pressure into a rigid material. It comes in two distinct types:

Traditional ceramic tile is typically made up of a combination of white, red, and brown clays.

Porcelain tile contains feldspar in addition to clay, which transforms into a glass-like material when heated and pressurized. It has an extreme hardness and durability that exceeds traditional tiles.

The process by which tiles are manufactured results in two basic types: glazed and unglazed tile. Both ceramic and porcelain tiles come in glazed and unglazed forms.

Glazed tile is re-fired with a glaze that hardens into a glass-like surface coating. This opens up the possibility for a huge array of color and pattern options while simultaneously giving the tile an added resistance to stains, scratches, and moisture.

Unglazed tiles have no additional coating added to them and are simply fired one time. Unglazed tiles are limited in appearance to the natural colors of clay.

Laminate Styles

It’s easy to design a room with your own unique laminate flooring at Hamernick’s Interior Solutions! Laminate is an affordable way to get the look of the wood or tile flooring you’ve been dreaming of. At Hamernick’s Interior Solutions, you’ll find a variety of plank and tile sizes and styles that look and feel just like natural wood, stone, or ceramic tile, which can be installed with or without adhesive.

We offer smooth and hand-scraped wood textures in wide or thin planks, so you can make a statement with your new laminate floors!

Laminate vs. Hardwood

Hardwood has long been sought after for its beauty, durability, and the value it can add to a home. Nowadays, to help with the affordability of home construction and sales, laminate flooring is being substituted for wood’s warm, natural charm. We offer wood laminate flooring at Hamernick’s, as well as solid hardwood, both of which we recommend to different customers based on their specific needs.

Here’s how these two types of flooring stack up against one another:

Made from natural, harvested trees
Scratches, moisture damage, and wear are common, but add value & character
Can be refinished many times by sanding out imperfections

Made from composite wood materials
Resists scratches, moisture, and wear, all while being easy to clean
Up to 50% less expensive to install, snapping together easily for DIY projects
