6 years agoArmstrong Alterna is a brand of luxury vinyl tile. It is softer than porcelain but looks more like porcelain tiles than sheet vinyl. You can grout it. I have the pattern Multistone in White, installed five years ago. it is a versatile color that goes with cool tones like white, gray, and blue or warm tones like cream and tan. I didn't want too much pattern because of my granite.

Comments (3)Julie, I'm next door in Arlington and have been looking for a brick type tile too. I found portstone out of MS. The closest store that carries it is Decatur, Livingston and Breckenridge. Decatur folks were super nice and have it on their sidewalk as well as flooring inside. However, there was not much price difference for cash and carry (me install) or have then install. $9.99sf installed for brick Old Natches (or St. Louis) for 180sf. 8.00 cash and carry. I had to pass. I have emailed them just today to get a quote on direct order +ship. Their phone # said it was not taking incoming calls. Weird.

Comments (38)Marti- We went through that too. Thought about every possible potential use of the space and got discouraged by people who insisted we needed to have an island or nothing at all. I understand the sentiment, but different things work for different people. I mentioned it took us a year to go through the layout/design phase, right? We considered everything. I am going to try to attach a copy of an ideabook from houzz where I collected some photos to help me decide what to do with the beam/bar area. I liked some of the photos and disliked others, but kept them all to help me think it through... I have some other pictures, not on houzz that I will try to attach separately.

Comments (2)It is worth mentioning -- old days -- the transition from small sizes -- up to 10'' x 18'' -- with rounded edges to rectified and large sizes , where the squareness of the edge gives no room for lightning wash , if imperfections from tile manufacturing or tile installation are present. And by large sizes , they are just getting bigger and bigger . But let's not forget the lippage preventive systems -- leveling '' helpers '' -- were the tiles are forced on the same plane while the mortar is curing . There are different techniques for setting tile , but most importantly is prepping the substrate and getting the right coverage . There are few other factors , but in general having the right process of tile installation in place , the results can be awesome , even if light wash would be integrated at a later time . Also , more work is involved if someone wants to achieve the intended potential of an aesthetically pleasing tiled wall . Then , there is the 3D effect , where you want the light wash to create the shadow effects . There is also more work involved , to achieve the opposite of same plane :) Lippage is the main factor -- light wash or not -- , where the aesthetically pleasant effect gets ruined . One of the most debated issues , regardless of how light affects it . Most of the time in a negative way ....See Morejeanwedding. zone 6
