Tile flooring is fascinating to watch. Some Seattle tile contractors make it look as easy as slicing warm butter to cut curved lines into stone. It's a very versatile art. Tiles are used as flooring, backsplashes, and wall coverings. Schools often put them halfway up the wall and it cuts down on the number of dirty hand prints the janitorial staff has to try and clean off paint. It's much easier to clean the tile instead. Plus, with all the patterns and swirls tile often has, the hand prints are much less noticeable.
What is amazing, is to see the designs and pictures that can be created with miniature tiles. It is painstaking work, but the intricacy of it adds to the beauty of the tile flooring. There is an old movie called Batteries Not Included that can credit half of its charm to the tile flooring completed as part of the set. You wouldn't naturally think the flooring would have that dramatic of an effect on the theme of a film, but it does.
Overall, the skill tile contractors possess is probably under appreciated. There is a definite artistic element that is an inherent part of the work. Plus, they must complete it with the finesse of accuracy, otherwise the client will end up paying for extra boxes of tile. It's a technical art form people rarely notice...unless it's missing of course.
