P rince Edward Island is home to many accomplished artists and craftsmen so you may be surprised to find one hiding in plain sight. Ideal Tiles and Bathrooms is situated in Cornwall and you can find not only tiles, hardwood flooring, laminates, tubs and taps, but also many unique, hand- crafted wooden pieces for your kitchen or bathroom. The family owned and operated business launched in 2016 by Julie Davies and is going from strength to strength. She works with her husband Mick, who is in charge of installs, and her son Jordan, who runs the workshop and is responsible for creating bespoke pieces for your home. The Davies family originates from England; having vacationed here in 2008 they fell in love with the place and decided to make it their home in 2011. Having worked in construction in England, including renovations, bathrooms, and tiling, it was only natural they would continue on this path. Starting up a construction company on PEI in 2011 they noticed they were completing many bathroom renovations so decided to open up their own showroom, ensuring to only sell quality products that they would use themselves. Jordan’s passion is in designing and creating the custom vanities along with any other custom pieces customers ask for. When Jordan was in school, the wood shop class was asked to design and build something. Whilst the class was making birdhouses, pencil cases and small boxes, Jordan designed and built a solid oak washstand (vanity).
Ideal Tiles and Bathrooms have a full workshop where Jordan can build anything to make your bathroom project unique. Jordan designs and builds all different custom vanities, tables, and cabinets using local materials as much as possible. Any shape, size, colour, or design can be custom made with a variety of woods (oak, maple, willow or even reclaimed barn boards). If you can dream it, he will build it. You will not find MDF, or particle board in any of their products. Each piece is built solid, to last, and is still affordable. No two pieces of wood are the same which provides a one of a kind piece of art just for you. To complete your custom project they offer granite and quartz countertops and recently expanded the showroom to offer hardwood flooring, laminate and vinyl, as well as a custom built kitchen on display. Ideal Tiles and Bathrooms can complete your whole bathroom project from start to finish. Along with the vanities they also specialize in custom showers. They can create beautiful designs – they don’t just tile your walls, they design them. Bathrooms can be tailored to your own needs, whatever they may be. Or, if you prefer, they can supply the materials and some sound advice so you can embark on your own DIY project. Whatever your choice, take a trip to Cornwall today and start making your dream bathroom a reality. You can get it all at Ideal Tiles.
