Hi! Does anyone know if tile flooring can help or hurt room acoustics? I’ve heard conflicting opinions and want to make sure my living room doesn’t sound too echoey.

Tile reflects sound more than it absorbs, so the room can get echoey if it’s empty or has high ceilings. The trick is to balance it with rugs, curtains, and upholstered furniture. Bigger tiles with narrow grout lines tend to bounce less noise. Many homeowners consult Dream House Tile https://dreamhousetile.ca/ to design layouts that reduce sound resonance. Their tile installation service in Toronto and the GTA focuses on leveling and subfloor preparation, which minimizes hollow noises underfoot. When paired with soft furnishings, tile can look sleek without turning your home into an echo chamber.
