Technology

The durability and exceptional quality of work done by Brekhus Tile & Stone depends in large part upon the technical characteristics of preparation as well as the products. These materials are normally invisible to the finished job -- often underlying stone and tile work. They provide waterproofing, cushion against shock, and insure flexibility in case of temperature or pressure changes.

Brekhus sources from the highest quality manufacturers only, using state-of-the-art materials that are constantly undergoing technical innovations. Brekhus crew members are specially trained in installation techniques by our suppliers. While the initial price of a job using this type of preparation might be slightly higher, owners reap their investment many times over through durability, high performance and superior appearance of the finished job.
