Tile is where design and technical performance meet. The right choice has to look beautiful, suit the space, work with the installation system, and hold up to daily life in a Colorado mountain home.
That is why homeowners, designers, builders, and tile professionals throughout the Vail Valley come to Select Surfaces. Our Avon showroom is more than a place to browse samples. It is a tile resource for the entire project—from design-forward materials and one-of-a-kind layouts to matching an existing tile and sourcing the setting materials, grout, waterproofing, and tools needed at the contractor’s desk.
Our team brings together deep design knowledge and hands-on technical expertise. Whether you arrive with architectural plans, an inspiration photo, a broken piece of tile, or a jobsite question, we will help you work through the details and find a thoughtful path forward. Contact our team to get started.
Our tile collection ranges from timeless natural materials to innovative, large-scale surfaces. We source from trusted manufacturers and seek out products that offer both strong design and proven performance.
Our showroom selection includes:
We work with projects at many different scales, from finding a practical replacement tile to developing a complete finish palette for a custom residence. Our goal is not to steer every client toward the same look. It is to understand the architecture, the way the space will be used, and the feeling you want it to have—then help you find the right material.
A beautiful tile is only one part of a successful installation. The substrate, preparation, waterproofing, uncoupling, mortar, grout, movement accommodation, profiles, sealers, and installation methods all matter.
At the Select Surfaces contractor’s desk, tile professionals, builders, and project teams can source installation-related products and get knowledgeable product guidance. We carry or can help specify solutions for:
Our team understands the relationship between the finished material and the system behind it. We can help you review manufacturer requirements, identify compatible products, and coordinate the materials needed for the application. Final installation methods, site conditions, code compliance, and workmanship remain the responsibility of the qualified installer and project team.
Radiant heat and tile are a natural fit for mountain living. Porcelain, ceramic, and many natural stones transfer heat efficiently, creating warm, comfortable floors in bathrooms, kitchens, mudrooms, entries, and other living spaces.
Select Surfaces offers Warmup® and Schluter® DITRA-HEAT systems. We can help your project team evaluate the tile, heating system, controls, membrane, and related components as part of the overall floor assembly. Heated-floor planning should happen early so the installer and appropriate electrical professional can coordinate coverage, power requirements, sensors, transitions, and finished floor heights.
Before choosing a tile, consider where it will be used and what it needs to do. Our team can help you evaluate:
These are not afterthoughts. They are part of choosing the right tile.
Tile can create continuity between interior rooms and outdoor living areas, but exterior applications in the Vail Valley require careful product and system selection. Freeze-thaw exposure, moisture, drainage, substrate movement, direct sun, and slip resistance all affect performance.
Some porcelain and natural stone products may be appropriate outdoors when used in a properly designed installation. Our team can help identify materials rated for the intended application and provide the relevant manufacturer information. Your qualified installer, builder, and design professional should confirm the complete assembly for the site and local conditions.
Care depends on the material. Porcelain and ceramic tile are generally low maintenance, while some natural stone, cementitious grout, and specialty finishes may need approved cleaners, sealing, or periodic treatment.
Avoid assuming that one cleaner is safe for every surface. Acidic, abrasive, or film-forming products can damage certain stones, finishes, grouts, or sealers. Select Surfaces can help you understand the manufacturer’s care recommendations and choose appropriate maintenance products for the tile and grout you purchase.
Keep leftover material after installation whenever possible. Clearly label attic stock with the manufacturer, collection, color, size, finish, shade or dye-lot information, and project location. A few saved pieces can make a future repair much easier.
Select Surfaces is the Vail Valley’s resource for the full tile conversation: inspired design, hard-to-find solutions, sound product guidance, and the technical materials that support a successful installation.
