Shreveport Business Leaders Unite for a Breakfast Bash
This morning, the friendly vibe of Shreveport buzzed with excitement as local business representatives gathered at KTBS for a vibrant Business Exchange Breakfast and Open House. The event, designed to foster collaboration among entrepreneurs, showcased various local businesses, including the well-known and respected United Tile Companies, a stalwart in the world of home design and construction products in the Shreveport-Bossier area.
United Tile: A Community Staple
For an impressive 68 years, United Tile has been serving the residents of North Louisiana with top-notch flooring products. Their expansive showroom features a delightful array of both modern trends and traditional favorites designed to inspire homeowners. Customers wander through thoughtfully curated displays showcasing tiles, countertops, and cabinets, ready to help transform spaces into dream homes.
The United Tile showroom is not just a store but also a treasure trove filled with alluring options that pop with color and character. With a team of four experienced salespeople on hand, shoppers find expert guidance tailored to their unique preferences and needs. Famous for having trendy wood, tile, and laminate options available for same-day pick-up, it’s no wonder the community pays them a visit!
Trendy Options for Every Style
Among the stars of their collection is the ever-popular subway tile, which comes in various sizes and stylish laying patterns. Perfect for both kitchens and bathrooms, this classic look fits flawlessly into any design scheme. For those curious about colors and styles, white marble—both natural and chic faux versions—remains a favorite choice thanks to its light, airy appearance that brightens up any space.
Homeowners are increasingly drawn to porcelain or ceramic look-alikes as these options not only shine but also save money and maintenance hassle. They are non-porous, meaning no sealing is required as with natural stone, making them a smart choice for busy households!
Tile patterns have taken creativity to a whole new level! With enticing styles like herringbone, basket weave, and brick on offer, customers are encouraged to mix and match textures and sizes for unique results. Experts suggest that browsing on platforms like Pinterest and Houzz can provide helpful inspiration before stepping foot in the showroom.
A Range for Every Budget
United Tile caters to preferences spanning all budgets. The more lavish choices include stunning natural stone water-jet cut mosaics, which require specialized craftsmanship and higher investment. For those looking for elegance without the hefty price tag, the best budget-friendly option is undoubtedly good quality ceramic tile featuring a beautiful faux marble look.
With exciting advancements in imaging technology, wood-look tiles are rapidly replacing engineered hardwood. Giving durability a whole new meaning, these options are child and pet-friendly, ideal for family homes.
However, homeowners are advised to avoid installing new tile over existing shower installations to sidestep potential complications. A little education goes a long way in the design world!
Community News Roundup
In a separate note, it’s been a tough day in Shreveport as reports came in about an accident involving a local fire captain. Fortunately, he is expected to recover after his fire truck veered off the roadway and struck a power pole while responding to an emergency. Two other firefighters were unharmed, but the truck suffered significant damage. Power outages were experienced in the area, but crews have since worked hard to restore electricity.
In these bustling times, community spirit shines through events like the Business Exchange Breakfast, bringing people together to share ideas, inspire, and uplift each other in Shreveport. Here’s to more mornings filled with creativity and connection!
