Custom Tile Layouts, Designer Patterns & High-End Finishes – Installed by Vancouver’s Tile Experts at Floors Depot

At Floors Depot, we don’t just install tile—we create architectural statements. We bring a designer’s eye and a contractor’s precision to every surface. Whether you’re renovating a luxury home in West Vancouver, refreshing a kitchen in East Van, or adding value to a Yaletown condo, we work with custom tile layouts and intricate designs that elevate your entire space.

Here’s how we turn ordinary tile into extraordinary impact:

Herringbone & Chevron Tile Patterns

We install precision-cut herringbone and chevron patterns that deliver timeless, European-inspired elegance. These layouts are perfect for:

  • Bathroom floors in modern North Vancouver homes

  • Kitchen backsplashes in upscale condos

  • Entryway floors where you want to make a bold first impression

Each piece is cut, aligned, and installed with sharp angles and attention to symmetry—no shortcuts, no crooked lines.

Classic Subway Tile Layouts

Subway tile never goes out of style, and our team offers more than just the standard brick pattern. We deliver:

  • Vertical stack and double herringbone subway tile designs

  • Color-contrasting grout for bold accents

  • Clean, minimalistic finishes for modern Vancouver kitchens and baths

Perfect for backsplashes in Kitsilano kitchens, powder rooms in Burnaby, or feature walls in Yaletown lofts.

Diagonal, Offset & Staggered Tile Layouts

Our tile installers know how to work with complex angles. Diagonal tile patterns add visual interest, create the illusion of larger spaces, and work well in:

  • Small Vancouver condo bathrooms

  • Transitional kitchen floors in Dunbar or Kerrisdale

  • Hallways and narrow spaces where flow matters

Offset and staggered layouts help hide grout lines and imperfections in older or uneven subfloors—function meets beauty.

Hexagon & Geometric Tile Installs

For those looking for an ultra-modern vibe, our crew is skilled in precise, small-format hex and geometric tile layouts, ideal for:

  • Shower floors with slip-resistance

  • Statement powder rooms in West Vancouver homes

  • Contemporary kitchens needing bold, patterned backsplashes

These layouts demand accuracy—one wrong cut ruins the flow. That’s why Vancouver trusts Floors Depot to get it right.

Tile Inlays, Borders & Medallions

We craft custom tile inlays and border designs that serve as visual anchors for rooms or entryways. Often used in:

  • Grand entrances in Shaughnessy estates

  • Dining rooms with perimeter tile borders

  • Luxury master baths featuring centered medallions

These intricate features require advanced planning, laser-accurate placement, and expert cutting—all handled in-house by our skilled crew.

Feature Walls & Fireplace Focal Points

Whether it’s stone-look tile wrapping a modern fireplace in Coal Harbour or a textured tile wall in a spa-inspired ensuite in North Van, we install attention-grabbing features that define a space.
Our team handles full-height wall layouts, niche cutouts, and precision trimming to make your surfaces pop.

Built-In Niches & Custom Shelf Detailing

We add built-in niches and floating tile shelves that match your layout seamlessly, especially in:

  • Shower walls and bath surrounds

  • Kitchen backsplashes for spice or utensil storage

  • Accent walls with recessed tile shelves

We waterproof, frame, tile, and finish everything to code and with style.

Luxury Steam Shower Tilework

Steam showers require exacting standards in:

  • Waterproofing

  • Slope and venting design

  • High-temperature tile bonding

We use non-porous porcelain tiles, vapor membranes, and precision sealing to create spa-level steam showers in Vancouver luxury homes.

Curbless, Barrier-Free Shower Floor Tile Installations

We specialize in accessible, modern, zero-threshold showers with:

  • Continuous sloped tile floors

  • Linear drains for sleek water evacuation

  • Seamless waterproofing systems beneath the surface

These are ideal for aging-in-place bathroom upgrades, custom new builds, or wheelchair-accessible bathrooms.

Tile Layouts Designed for Radiant Floor Heating

We ensure perfect tile compatibility with in-floor heating systems:

  • Substrate bonding that won’t crack under heat expansion

  • Tile materials that hold and radiate warmth

  • Even spacing and grout joints for efficient heat transfer

Perfect for basement bathrooms in Burnaby, ensuites in Edgemont Village, and main floors in new Vancouver builds.

Precision Surface & Subfloor Preparation – The Foundation of Every Flawless Tile Job

At Floors Depot, we don’t just install tile—we build it on the most solid foundation possible. In fact, 90% of tile failures happen because the prep was skipped or poorly done. That’s why our expert team goes beyond the surface to deliver flawless, long-lasting results across the Vancouver area.

Here’s how we make it bulletproof:

Subfloor Leveling with Self-Leveling Compound

Uneven floors? We fix that. Our team applies self-leveling cementitious compounds to eliminate dips, humps, and inconsistencies—crucial for:

  • Large format tile installation

  • Floating bathroom vanities with floor tile below

  • Kitchens and hallways that require a level transition

This is standard with us—not an upsell, unlike other contractors.

Cement Board & Schluter Underlayment Installation

We install high-quality backer boards like Durock, HardieBacker, and Schluter®-DITRA to:

  • Reinforce tile bonding

  • Prevent deflection

  • Resist moisture and mold

Essential for all bathroom, kitchen, and wet-zone tile work across Vancouver homes and condos.

Crack Isolation Membranes

Tiles may be hard—but they crack when substrates shift. We use flexible crack isolation membranes (like Schluter® or Mapei) to:

  • Absorb movement

  • Protect tiles from sub-surface fractures

  • Extend the life of your installation

Especially important in older homes in East Vancouver, where floor structures may shift slightly over time.

Slope Creation for Shower Bases

Proper water drainage is non-negotiable. We create precisely measured slopes that:

  • Direct water toward linear or center drains

  • Meet BC building code requirements

  • Prevent standing water, mold growth, or leaking

We’ve re-done dozens of showers that failed due to flat or reverse sloping bases—ours never fail.

Waterproofing Membranes (RedGard, Schluter Kerdi, etc.)

We install waterproofing membranes under every shower, bathroom, laundry room, and outdoor tile job to ensure:

  • Zero moisture intrusion

  • Mold and mildew prevention

  • Tile longevity and structural protection

Whether you're building a steam shower in West Van or tiling a walkout patio in Mount Pleasant, we waterproof it to last.

Vapor Barriers & Under-Tile Moisture Protection

In areas like basements and laundry rooms, we use vapor barrier layers under tile systems to stop:

  • Ground moisture from creeping up

  • Adhesive deterioration over time

  • Tile delamination and grout discoloration

Essential in Vancouver’s damp coastal climate.

Tile Over Tile Prep – Safe, Secure, and Code-Compliant

Want to tile over old tile? No problem—if it’s done right. Our team:

  • Tests for structural soundness

  • Scuffs and primes the old tile

  • Applies specialized bonding agents

  • Ensures level, even adhesion

Perfect for condo remodels in Downtown Vancouver or cost-effective kitchen upgrades.

Alex was a clear communicator. The job was done quickly and he was accommodating to our tight schedule. When some unforeseen challenges came up with the renovation (out of his control) he solved it and kept the project on schedule. Our floors look great, and the whole experience was stress free.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tile & Stone Installation in Vancouver

1. How much does tile installation cost in Vancouver?

Tile installation in Vancouver typically ranges from $10 to $30 per square foot, depending on the tile material (ceramic, porcelain, stone), complexity of layout, subfloor prep, and waterproofing requirements. We provide free, accurate estimates based on your project.

2. What is the difference between porcelain and ceramic tile?

Porcelain tiles are denser, more durable, and more water-resistant than ceramic tiles, making them ideal for high-traffic floors and wet areas like bathrooms and showers. Ceramic tiles are more affordable, easier to cut, and great for walls, backsplashes, and low-moisture spaces.

3. Can you install tiles over existing tile floors or walls?

Yes, we offer tile-over-tile installation if the existing surface is level, secure, and properly prepared. We use specialized bonding agents, scuffing techniques, and leveling systems to ensure long-lasting adhesion—perfect for condo renovations and cost-effective upgrades.

4. How long does tile installation take?

Most standard tile projects take 2 to 5 days, depending on surface prep, tile size, layout complexity, and drying times. Larger projects or intricate designs (like mosaics, herringbone, or natural stone) may take longer, but we always provide a clear timeline before we begin.

5. Do you offer waterproofing services for tile showers and bathrooms?

Absolutely. We install full waterproofing systems using top-grade products like Schluter® Kerdi, RedGard®, and custom membranes to prevent leaks, mold, and long-term water damage—essential for walk-in showers, steam rooms, and basement bathrooms.

We specialize in custom tile layouts, including:

    Each pattern is installed with laser-accurate precision, perfect for modern and luxury tile renovations across Greater Vancouver.

7. What is natural stone tile, and is it good for flooring or walls?

Natural stone tiles like marble, slate, travertine, and granite offer luxury, unique textures, and timeless beauty. They're ideal for bathroom floors, fireplace surrounds, and feature walls, but they require professional sealing and careful maintenance—which we handle expertly.

8. Do you install heated floors under tile?

Yes. We are experienced with in-floor heating systems, integrating radiant heat mats and cables beneath tile for added comfort. Perfect for bathrooms, basements, and cold floors throughout Vancouver homes.
