The Rug Shack supplies and professionally installs ceramic, porcelain and natural-stone tile across Church Point, Clare and the South Shore — floors, walls, backsplashes and showers. We handle the whole job, from picking the tile to the final grout line, so it goes in right and stays that way.
Tile and natural stone are the most durable, most waterproof surfaces there are — they shrug off spills, boots and steam long after softer floors have given up.
They're a natural fit for kitchens, bathrooms and entryways, and they pair beautifully with radiant in-floor heat, so a cold tile floor turns warm underfoot all winter.
Every install runs the same careful way — from the first measure to the last sealed grout line. Here's what we take care of when you hand us the job.
We come out, measure the space and give you an honest, itemized quote — no charge and no pressure to book.
Bring your ideas and we'll help you settle on size, colour and finish, then source the ceramic, porcelain or stone to match.
Backer-board or self-levelling goes down first to give the tile a solid, flat base — the part that decides whether a floor lasts.
In wet areas we add waterproofing and an uncoupling membrane where it's needed, so showers and floors stand up to the moisture.
We plan the layout so cuts and grout lines fall in the right places, then set every tile straight, level and evenly spaced.
Once the tile is set we grout the joints, and any natural stone gets sealed to protect it and keep it looking its best.
We clean up after ourselves and haul away the old flooring and offcuts, so you're left with a finished room and nothing else.
Every job is done by our own crew and backed by our workmanship — if something isn't right, we come back and make it right.
Three very different materials, each with its own strengths. Here's the honest rundown so you can match the tile to the room.
The most affordable option and easy to work with. Great for walls, backsplashes and light-traffic floors — a proven, budget-friendly choice when you don't need heavy-duty toughness.
Denser and harder than ceramic, with near-zero water absorption. The best pick for floors, bathrooms and any wet area — it takes real abuse and keeps looking new.
Slate, marble and travertine bring genuine, one-of-a-kind character no manufactured tile can match. It does need periodic sealing to stay its best, but nothing looks quite like the real thing.
Spills, mud and steam wipe clean and stay out — nothing soaks in the way it does with softer floors.
Run in-floor heating underneath and cold tile turns cozy and warm underfoot right through a Nova Scotia winter.
A properly installed tile floor can outlast the rest of the room — it's one of the longest-lived surfaces you can lay.
From classic subway to large-format and mosaic, tile comes in more shapes, colours and layouts than any other floor.
Tile earns its keep anywhere water, mud and traffic collect. It's the go-to for the hard-working corners of the house — and it climbs the walls, too.
Thinking of a clean, modern look? Ask us about large-format tile — bigger pieces mean fewer grout lines and a seamless, contemporary finish.
