FLOORING, SURFACING & TILES
Caesarstone
Low-maintenance quartz surfacing is everywhere – but have you touched large Caesarstone slabs while consulting a pro about its many uses? Here you can do just that. A long wall showcases all 60 varieties – including the latest additions, Cloudburst Concrete, Frozen Terra and Intense White – with helpful graphics explaining how edges may be trimmed to your desired effect. Caesarstone furnishings by top designers (including Tom Dixon’s stools, and Jaime Hayon’s Stone Age Folk cabinet) dot the intimate space. 350 CALDARI RD, CONCORD 416 479 8400 CAESARSTONE.CA
Cambria Gallery
Cambria’s Corktown outpost showcases natural quartz surfaces in over 145 designs – from pale neutrals to rich jewel tones – with a staff happy to direct visitors to local dealers that carry its stone slabs sourced from Canadian mines. All the brand’s lines are on display in kitchen and bath vignettes, including the new Carrick collection in modish concrete grey, as well as five calming additions to the Brittanicca Warm and Brittanicca Gold ranges, featuring large, resplendent veining. 91 PARLIAMENT ST 416 363 8801 CAMBRIACANADA.COM
Centura Tile
This venerable specialist supplies upscale North American and European flooring from Mirage, Atlas Concorde and Italgraniti. Its sun-filled showroom displays a selection of porcelain, ceramic and natural stone to elevate your living spaces. For a polished look, try wall tiles inspired by fine fabric. For contrast, turn to recent innovations in ceramic that mimics the gritty look of weathered brick, graffiti or even the windows of industrial workshops. 950 LAWRENCE
