In short
Superior Tile Contracting installs large format porcelain tile and slabs throughout Austin and Travis County, TX. We’re based about 160 miles away in Willis, schedule on-site assessments within about a week, in a dedicated crew block, and back every Austin project with a written project proposal, an in-house crew and a 2-year workmanship warranty.
Why Austin trusts Superior Tile
Austin’s design-forward clients drive demand for minimalist slab work: thin 6 mm porcelain panels on feature walls, seamless kitchen backsplashes and curbless showers in Tarrytown and Westlake Hills. Hill Country limestone and clay soils mean we pay extra attention to slab movement and crack isolation.
Building conditions in Austin
East of I-35 you’ll find expansive Blackland clay; west of the Balcones Escarpment, homes sit on limestone and thin soils. That split matters: east-side slabs need crack isolation and movement planning, while Hill Country homes often feature split levels, stem walls and stone that demand careful transitions between concrete and wood subfloors.
Central Texas summers push interior glass walls and patios to extreme temperatures. We use high-performance thin-sets (ANSI A118.15) for large format tile and porcelain slabs exposed to sun and heat, and frost-rated porcelain for exterior spaces that see occasional hard freezes.

Large Format Tile Supply & Installation in Austin
We do one thing, and we do it at the highest level: supply and install large format porcelain tile and slabs — for homes and commercial spaces.
Our 6-Step Large Format Tile Process in Austin
Every project follows Tile Council of North America (TCNA) Handbook guidelines and ANSI A108.19 for gauged porcelain, and meets ASTM C627 service ratings appropriate to its location.
Step 01
On-Site Assessment
A senior installer visits, photographs the substrate, takes laser-level readings and discusses tile choice, layout and timing. No charge, no obligation.
Step 02
Written Installation Plan
Material selection, layout, substrate requirements and the installation schedule are reviewed together before work begins.
Step 03
Substrate Prep & Waterproofing
Grinding and self-leveling to TCNA flatness (1/8″ over 10 ft), uncoupling membrane, Kerdi-Band corners and bonded waterproofing in all wet areas.
Step 04
Tile Setting with Lippage Control
Large format tiles are back-buttered and set with Levtec™ clips; cuts are made on a wet saw for chip-free edges; layouts are dry-laid first to balance sightlines.
Step 05
Grout, Seal & 2-Year Warranty
Color-matched grout, penetrating sealer where required, on-site cleanup and a written 2-year workmanship guarantee handed to you in person.
Step 06
Final Walkthrough & 30-Day Check-In
We walk the finished installation with you, hand over a written care plan, and follow up at 30 days to inspect grout lines and resolve any concerns.

Large format tile FAQ — Austin, TX
Do you install large format tile in Tarrytown, Westlake Hills, Zilker, Barton Creek?
Yes. We serve all of Austin and Travis County, including Tarrytown, Westlake Hills, Zilker, Barton Creek. Austin is roughly 160 miles from our Willis, TX headquarters, and on-site assessments are scheduled within about a week, in a dedicated crew block.
Will large format tile crack on Austin soil and foundations?
East of I-35 you’ll find expansive Blackland clay; west of the Balcones Escarpment, homes sit on limestone and thin soils. That split matters: east-side slabs need crack isolation and movement planning, while Hill Country homes often feature split levels, stem walls and stone that demand careful transitions between concrete and wood subfloors.. With correct prep — flatness to 1/8″ over 10 ft, crack isolation and movement joints per TCNA EJ171 — large format tile performs extremely well in Austin.
Do you supply the tile and slabs, or only install?
Both. We source large format porcelain, gauged porcelain tile panels/slabs through trade distributor partners, so Austin clients can buy materials and installation from one accountable contractor. You are also welcome to supply your own tile — we’ll inspect it for flatness, warpage and shade consistency before installation.
How long does a large format tile project take in Austin?
A typical 500 sq ft large format floor takes 3–5 working days including prep; a slab-wall shower takes 4–7 days including waterproofing and cure times; whole-home floors usually take 2–3 weeks. You receive a written schedule with your quote, and a senior installer supervises your Austin job site every day.
