TileNest SoHo Flagship Stone and Slab Gallery
SoHo Flagship Slab Library · 480 Broome Street, NYC

“A floor is never merely a decorative finish; it is the primary structural plane you inhabit every day. When quarry lot selection and subfloor tolerances are unified under one studio, stone endures for generations.”

Unlike conventional tile distributors that hand off uncalibrated boxes at the curb, TileNest operates as an integrated architectural surface atelier. We inspect block lots directly in Carrara and Valencia, dry-lay book-matched veining in our studio, laser-profile your subfloor to within 1/8 inch per 10 feet, and back every residential and commercial installation with a 15-year structural warranty.

Why Discerning Architects Specify TileNest Over General Contractors

STANDARD I

TCNA 1/8" Laser Flatness

Before setting a single slab, we map subfloor topography with rotary lasers and pour fiber-reinforced self-leveling underlayment to eliminate hollow voids.

STANDARD II

Single Quarry-Lot Guarantee

Every square foot of your order is pulled from one sequential block cut or kiln firing batch so veining and tonal warmth remain cohesive.

STANDARD III

95% Wet-Area Mortar Contact

We directional-trowel and back-butter every large-format slab to achieve 95%+ adhesive coverage—preventing corner cracking under heavy loads.

STANDARD IV

Attributable Client Endorsements

“Michael Turner’s crew laser-leveled 3,200 sq. ft. of our residence and achieved a glass-flat 1.5mm joint across nine rooms.” — Zachary John, AIA
