Tile Source in Ensenada?

schwlind - 9-19-2010 at 06:34 AM

Earlier this year, we added a room to our house. I am looking for a floor tile source in Ensenada (that hopefully will deliver to San Antonio Del Mar about a 2 hour drive south of Ensenada (near Colonet…), so we can have this room tiled. When we built our house, we purchased a huge quantity of Vitromex Quinta Cotto Tile. We purchased this tile from Cisco at approximately $17 US per box… Cisco’s price has now gone to $23.50 US per box for a similar type tile, as I have been told by Mr. Vargas that the tile I currently have is no longer available. Does anyone have any tile sources that I should check out while I am in Ensenada this Tuesday and Wednesday (9/21 and 22)???

Any recommendations would be most appreciated (as well as where they are located).

Many thanks,
Linda

There are several tile shops/stores on Reforma (Hwy 1) north of the Wal Mart shopping center, both sides of the street. I suggest you take a sample and spend a couple of days checking things out.

there's a new one on left that's exclusively Vitromex but IMHO Expo across from Smart and Final has best prices

Linda....What size is that room that would call for tile delivery?

Hi Dennis...

It is approximately 340 s.f.

Thanks, Linda....Sounds like a pile of tile, but deliverd sounds out of the question for as far away that you are. It might happen, but the price will go up to the roof.

Maybe a poco a poco thing would work better.

Back when dinosaurs roamed, we used to exchange road and gasoline info with trucks northbound from La Paz --- tile used to get more expensive the further they traveled both because of fuel cost and broken product. My dream is talavera rock tile but the price rattles my knees.
