Welcome to the Roberts Custom Tile & Stone project gallery, featuring our tile and stone craftsmanship across kitchens, bathrooms, floors, and specialty installations. Our gallery highlights the variety of materials, patterns, and design solutions we install in Shelbyville, KY homes — from classic subway tile backsplashes to luxurious marble countertops and meticulously set large-format tile floors.

What to look for in gallery images
- Consistent grout lines and even spacing: Indicates careful layout and attention to joint control.
- Clean cuts around fixtures: Shows precision in cutting and finishing at outlets and faucets.
- Proper slope in showers: Look for level visual cues and drainage design.
- Seam placement in stone: Notice how veins flow across seams with careful planning.
- Transitions to other floor types: Observe thresholds and reducers that create tidy transitions.
How gallery images inform your project decision
- Material selection: View finishes and textures under light similar to your kitchen or bathroom.
- Layout planning: Observe how pattern choices change the perception of space (e.g., diagonal tile can make a small room feel larger).
- Grout choices: See the visual impact of grout color — matching creates seamlessness, contrasting emphasizes pattern.
- Scale judgment:
- Viewing different tile sizes in actual settings helps determine what scale suits your room.
Design tips inspired by our projects
- Use a focal feature: A mosaic band, niche with accent tile, or a vertical stack behind a vanity creates visual interest.
- Scale matches room size: Large tiles work well in spacious open areas; smaller tiles provide more grip and nuanced detail in small showers and floors.
- Consistent materials for flow: Extending a tile from one room into another creates a seamless flow and unified design.
- Contrast with cabinetry:
- Light tile and dark grout or dark cabinetry with lighter stone top can create dramatic visual contrast.

How to request project photos or references

Seam placement and pattern matching
A responsible stone installation emphasizes seam placement that follows the natural flow of veins or pattern lines to achieve a cohesive appearance. We plan seam locations to be as inconspicuous as possible and to preserve focal areas of the slab.
Edge profiles and customization
Edge profiles can dramatically change the look and feel of a stone countertop. We provide samples and mockups so you can see how edge choices affect the final aesthetic.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do you handle heavy stone slabs for installation?
A: We use specialized lifting equipment and teams trained in safe handling procedures. We plan supports and reinforcement where needed for overhangs and island installations.
Q: How often should I seal my granite countertop?
A: Depending on use and stone porosity, sealing typically ranges from annually to every few years. We test the stone and recommend a schedule.
Q: Can marble be used in kitchens?
A: Marble can be used but requires more maintenance and care due to its tendency to etch and stain. Many homeowners still choose marble for its distinctive look and are comfortable with periodic care.
Q: Do you offer stone restoration services?
A: Yes. We perform polishing, honing, chip repair, crack repair, and re-sealing to restore stone surfaces.
