New Owner, Same Great Stone and Tile Selection at Stone Cavern as Carly Moore Takes Over – High Country Press

Carly really enjoys staying up to date on the latest trends and technology as she takes a lot of joy in meeting her clients needs. Some of the new styles that customers have been interested in include large format tiles, wood-look porcelain, and decorative mosaics that offer unique designs. A lot of tile companies have beautiful geometric patterns, elegant crackled glass, organic-like shapes and lots of texture.

In addition to the material, she has experience with a computer software program called Sketchup which allows clients to see their kitchen, bathroom or whole area in a three dimensional rendering. With this, they are able to see their tile selections applied in the room helping give a visual representation of their choices. Its a tool that allows us to go to job sites, measure spaces and help connect the homeowner, contractor and installer. Personally working with the installers, contractors and designers is an important aspect that helps ensure a smoother finished product. Im still learning everyday so its essential for me to be in good communication with everyone. When Im provided with the correct square footages, we can review the Sketchup design that details layouts and placements.

Finding a professional and qualified tile installer and contractor is just as important as finding your favorite tile. While Stone Cavern does not provide installation, they certainly will advise contact information for some of the best in the area. A few exceptional installers like Rob Russ, Alex Smith, Jim Burden and William Roa can sometimes be hard to come by! Stone Cavern is not only working with new contractors in the area but has long standing relationships with accomplished contractors including Bill Dacchille with Dacchille Construction, Chick and Vickie Fuller with Fuller & Fuller Construction, Brett Schwebke with Tynecastle, Mike Flannigan with Cornerstone Construction, Sean Pepin with Pepin Construction, Pete Archer with Rattlesnake Mountain Construction Co., Rick Doty with Doty Homebuilders, Jim Frye with Associated Construction Trades and Tom Eggers with Eggers Construction. They also work with local design firms like Dianne Davant & Associates, Tatum Galleries & Interiors and Creative Interiors.

Another helpful visual that Stone Cavern is currently working on is a large Schluter shower vignette that features a curbless shower entrance, linear shower drain, Ditra Heat mat and wire for a heated bathroom floor that you can stand on and feel, Schluter profiles like Rondec, Jolly and Quadec, different size tiles including 847, 1224 and 2448 along with a floating bench, Schluter niche, shelves and Tileware products. This allows customers to physically see what really is the most vital part of any shower installation; the underlayment. Schluter offers a lifetime guarantee of their products using their complete system, which is a great reason to choose Schluter.

Soon we may have the opportunity to host yearly Schluter workshops from reps that will teach installers, contractors and others the foundations of using Schluter products. It will be a great chance to expand proficiency while bringing some of the community together.
