Looking to make your business more profitable?
Hard surfaces such as tile, stone and marble have become increasingly popular choices for both home and business owners worldwide.  In fact, in the last six years, sales of these products have increased by an estimated 45%, and they continue to grow at a rapid pace.  What starts out as a real pride of ownership upon installation often turns to disappointment when the surfaces become dirty or stained and are hard to clean.  This condition is usually due to an installation that did not include a sealed finish.  Sealing is a specialty few installers have been properly trained to provide.  Now you have a chance to get the training you need to provide specialty services to those customers.
Learn how to care for tile and stone.
 
  • Technical Product Knowledge
  • Hands-on Product Knowledge
  • Application Techniques
  • Sales Techniques
  • Marketing Techniques
  • An Understanding of Natural Stone

Learn to make sealing, restoration, care and maintenance a profitable segment of your business.  The cost of your training will pay for itself with your first job!

Registration forms will soon be available via mail and from your
CONESTOGATILE Sales Representative.  Class size will be limited.

FLORIDA TILE Price List
has a New Look

  • We have totally reformatted our FLORIDA TILE price list to facilitate the ease of use.  Here is a snapshot of the changes that have been made:

  • All products are now shown in alphabetical sequence regardless of the product category (i.e. Natura, White Body).

  • All components of a series are now included under one heading including field tile, trim and decoratives for both floor and wall.

  • We have eliminated multiple product codes.  All FLORIDA TILE products are now subject to Product Code "G" trade discounts.

  • Abilene, Cheyenne and Reno will still be subject to a 50% discount for all customers.  Pro Select will now be included as a Product Code "G" item.

  • The 16" x 16" size in Abilene, Cheyenne and Reno will be available in carton quantities beginning in May, 2005.

  • These items are no longer in inventory as CONESTOGATILE - Caspian, Cortina, Filosofi (floor and wall), and Glacier (floor and wall).

  • Certain trim and decorative collections are now sold in full carton quantities and are shown as such on the price list.

  • We have tried to capture all of the decorative items that are cross-marketed in more than one sample board.  These items will appear under several series listings.
