Project overview
The goal, materials, and finished scope.
In August 2026, Floors Now completed a two-day residential entryway tile replacement in West Hartford. The crew removed and disposed of 46 square feet of existing tile from concrete, then set Anatolia Lumino Grigio 12-by-24-inch glazed porcelain tile with rapid-setting mortar and finished it with non-epoxy grout. Fifty-three square feet of tile was supplied for the project; that figure is not presented as exact installed coverage. Twenty linear feet of existing baseboard molding was removed and reinstalled, and no transitions were replaced.
