Tiles
Tile is nearly indestructible, making it ideal for floors, walls, backsplashes, even countertops. Manufactured from refined clay and fired at high temperatures, porcelain tile is even denser and more durable than standard ceramic tile.
From polished to matte, bright and vibrant to antiqued and faded, sparkly to opalescent, there is a porcelain tile for absolutely ever taste. Porcelain can also mimic the look of natural stone, hardwood, or concrete with stunning accuracy. If you are trying to achieve a particular aesthetic and appreciate low maintenance, tile opens up a universe of possibilities. Drop in to Rêve and we will show you just what is possible.
Major brands we carry
Floor tile
For floors, larger-format porcelain tiles provide a more seamless, modern look and minimal grout lines. Classic hex/honeycomb, mosaic and other small-format tiles are also popular, especially in bathrooms. Textured or matte finishes help provide slip resistance, important in wet areas like bathrooms and entry-point kitchen zones. For a warmer, rustic appearance, wood-look porcelain tile delivers the charm of hardwood with the water-resistance and toughness needed for high-traffic, moisture-prone spaces.
Backsplash tile
Backsplash is where many homeowners choose to add contrast or personality with smaller, decorative porcelain tiles. Mosaic patterns, herringbone layouts and geometric shapes in porcelain can add visual interest while standing up to splashes, heat, and stains. With a broad palette of colours, textures and patterns, porcelain allows for endless backsplash customization—whether you’re aiming for a bold statement or a subtle backdrop.
Tile for outdoor spaces
Outdoor-rated porcelain and other types of ceramic tile are increasingly popular for enhancing outdoor spaces. They are engineered to perform well outdoors, offering textured, slip-resistant and frost-proof surfaces for patios, walkways, outdoor kitchens, and covered terraces. As well as being suitable for winters in Ontario, outdoor ceramic tile is also easy to clean and maintain.
Outdoor tile comes in a plethora of looks: natural stone, contemporary concrete, or highly decorative, patterned, in a variety of sizes. Each look is available in a huge range of colours, textures and formats, helping you to extend home and cottage design beyond the interior to create a cohesive, stylish outdoor environment.
Aesthetically, ceramic tile provides ample opportunity to personalize your space.
Whatever you’re aiming for, ceramic tile brings visual appeal with long-lasting performance. It’s a smart, stylish solution for clients looking to create outdoor living areas that are as thoughtfully designed as their interiors.
Porcelain tile installation
Tile is only as good as the installation. Surfaces need to be smooth and typically flat. We use decoupling systems from brands like Schluter-DITRA to keep moisture on the outside. Options include large slabs (up to 5’×10′), decorative wall patterns, and electric radiant heating.
Outdoor applications? Absolutely. From foyers and steps to screened porches and patios, porcelain performs beautifully year-round with proper substrate prep.
Wall & Backsplash Tile
Here, creativity runs wild: arabesques, glossy, matte, iridescent, subway, hex, mosaic, glass, and large-format tiles. You’re free to express your unique style. Backsplash durability isn’t critical, so splash zones can embrace more delicate tiles, too. We can match your vision, whether it’s classic white subway, French country hex, or bold contemporary mosaics.
Outdoor Tile Solutions
We extend tile from indoors to screened porches, patios, and foyers. With proper subfloor, decoupler and porcelain’s UV resistance, your spaces endure for decades, just like one stunning Georgian Bay porch that seamlessly extends Rêve’s indoor flooring outdoors.
