We recently remodeled our 1000 sq ft Maui condo. In the kitchen, we installed bamboo cabinets, sea foam green granite, glass backsplash and stainless appliances. In the bathroom, we installed a beautiful tiled walk-in shower....love all it!

For flooring, we installed Bedrosians Almond Roma porcelain tile throughout the condo, including the 200 sq ft lanai, so that we would have an expansive seamless look from the entry down the corridor to the great room and lanai to the ocean view beyond. To our dismay, each and every tile has uniform ripples that are visible when the tile is backlit! Because our condo is bright and light, back lighting affects all the tiles on the lanai and most of the tiles in the great room, entry and corridor. We have been told by the manufacturer that the ripples are within acceptable industry standards for porcelain tile. We do not want to replace the tile in the kitchen & bathroom since you can’t see the ripple (no back lighting) plus we do not want to risk damaging our cabinets, granite, appliances, walk –in shower, etc. We have discussed replacing the entry, corridor, great room and lanai with a solid color complimentary porcelain tile (perhaps gray), however, I am concerned that it might also have a ripple and it wouldn’t give us that consistent seamless look that I really wanted. There is also the cost issue and headache of relocating, demolition (on the lanai 5” of concrete and waterproofing would need to be replaced!), etc. So, we aren’t certain what to do. Any advice or feedback would be appreciated! Thanks.
