In short
Superior Tile Contracting installs large format porcelain tile and slabs throughout Tyler and Smith County, TX.

Why Tyler trusts Superior Tile
Tyler’s Azalea District homes and lakefront properties on Lake Palestine increasingly feature porcelain slab showers and great rooms. East Texas humidity means we always moisture-test slabs and use vapor-tolerant setting systems.
Building conditions in Tyler
East Texas homes range from slab-on-grade builds to older pier-and-beam houses and lake cabins with wood subfloors. Large format tile over wood requires a stiff, flat structure, so we check deflection, add underlayment and use uncoupling membranes rated for wood before setting porcelain.
High humidity and lake-side living mean bathrooms and outdoor rooms need serious waterproofing. For large-format slab walls in wet areas, the installation plan includes compatible bonded membranes and careful preparation.

Large Format Tile Supply & Installation in Tyler
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 Tyler
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 — Tyler, TX
Do you install large format tile in Hollytree, The Cascades, Azalea District, Emerald Bay?
Yes. We serve all of Tyler and Smith County, including Hollytree, The Cascades, Azalea District, Emerald Bay. Tyler is roughly 158 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 Tyler soil and foundations?
East Texas homes range from slab-on-grade builds to older pier-and-beam houses and lake cabins with wood subfloors. Large format tile over wood requires a stiff, flat structure, so we check deflection, add underlayment and use uncoupling membranes rated for wood before setting porcelain.. 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 Tyler.
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 Tyler 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 Tyler?
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 Tyler job site every day.
