Where are you getting the quote from? We didn't pay anywhere near that for our Alhambra (we ordered directly from a WZ store).

Another suggestion-- if you want a similar look at a cheaper price, WZ the same tile in a 2x6 without the bevel.

This is still pricey, but less.

I live in Portland, Oregon and there is only one store in this city that sells WZ! sas95, will you please let me know which store you purchased from? I wonder if it will be any cheaper (once I add in shipping)... Thanks!

Thanks, ptamom! I'll def check out the celtic brick. Thanks for the heads-up.

Maxie, I live in NY, and purchased from the WZ store in NY. They had it shipped from their warehouse in California, so maybe check a WZ store in CA? I did not get the beveled for our kitchen, I got the 2x6s, but I paid around $15/sq. ft. I remember being quoted in the 20's for the beveled, but I didn't end up getting them because they didn't come in all the colors I wanted to use. I was disappointed at the time because I loved the look of the beveled, but the 2x6s came out really nicely.

If you are ordering from Ann Sacks, you'll pay through the roof! I just got a quote from them for 4 pieces of molding that added up to $137- not exactly budget friendly.
Have you looked at the Pratt and Larsen in SE PDX? I think they have their summer sale going on right now...... Also STile also in SE (a few blocks from P&L), who have some stuff on sale right now too.

thanks, oldhousegal for the local suggestions. i haven't checked out pratt and larson or STile. i'll have to give them a look. my problem is that i'm locked into the idea of the matte beveled tile and no one else seems to make it!

god that is gorgeous tile. WOW, WOW, WOW...... i would shop around and see if you can find a better price for it. wow.....

babushka_cat... i know, right?!

help! anyone know of another company that makes a similar matte tile??

Try Country Floors. They are online, and they have stores nationally. They make a number of beveled edge tiles, and I believe they are much less expensive than Ann Sachs or WZanger.

I ordered WZ Gramercy Park from Mediterranean Tile in New Jersey. I got the name of this place right here from another poster and found that, yes, in fact, this was the place with the best price. The Gramercy Park was about $19SF -- everywhere else it was $22 or more.

You might also want to look at Trikeenan tile.

I agree that your WZ price seems way off.... my Gramercy Park subways which were installed last year (not beveled) were 13.50/sq ft. I'm doing a new build and just got prices on two other WZ tiles and they ranged from 14-16.00.

Shortly after I got my Gramercy Park WZ tiles I remember someone on GW was asking about the price and they had been quoted double what I received.

I bought mine locally from the dealer in our area but I had gotten a quote from a place in San Diego that ships WZ tile. The price was just a hair lower than I paid locally and I decided to give the local store my business and pay happily paid them a bit more.

The online source was www.ibtsdiego.com

the drastic difference in pricing is really strange...

i just called WZ in northern california (the site closest to my home in portland, oregon). the 3x6 beveled brick (ceramica alhambra) is $28 per square foot. and they don't ship.

my local WZ distributor - the only one in oregon - is $33 per square foot.

i'll have to call med tile and ibtsdiego. what a runaround!!

That is beautiful tile but that price is crazy! I found this tile which is cream and beveled-- but it has a crackle finish. But the price is right $3.80 sq/ft

hi newbieremodeler, thanks for your suggestion. that's a really pretty tile... but the price is $3.80 per tile, not per square foot. the hunt continues... :)

Maxie,
What price did ibtsdiego give you? Just curious because they were less than my local distributor. And my distributor was almost half the price of what I saw other GWers getting.

wow, gbsim, its only $21 sq/ft!!! that's amazing! the challenge now is shipping... their freight company wants $325 to drive it up here. IBT is so nice - she's going to check around and see if there's a cheaper way. thank you so much for their info! i'll keep you posted!

sad to say that shipping is the wrench in the otherwise perfect plan, gbsim. but your recommendation was spot-on - thanks again for the heads-up. still looking around for a beveled subway... the hunt continues!

the WZ pipe smoke 2x6 is backordered. anyone have a lead on another brand of tile that has similar color of the gramercy park WZ?

Yes the other is $3.80 per tile but there is another one which is less expensive, it is $7.50/SF or so.
