Ideal Tile of Manhattan

The heritage and values of Ideal Tile were forged by the immigrant experience of the Grillo family in the last century—truly the American Dream personified. When the three founding brothers began installing tile in New York City in 1963, little did they know that their fledgling business would evolve into one of most trusted and dynamic brands in the tile and stone industry. Guided by deep core values, an unwavering faith in the American Dream and an ironclad work ethic, the Grillo family opened their first Ideal Tile showroom in 1976. Located in Freehold, New Jersey, it was one of the first showrooms in central New Jersey uniquely dedicated to importing ceramic and marble tiles, providing a one-stop shopping experience, combining product, design, labor and after-install maintenance under one roof—the Ideal Tile experience! In 1986, Ideal Tile Importing Company was established to import a greater quantity of tile and stone from all over the world to our growing number of licensed showrooms, now totaling 18 with two distribution hubs. For more than 40 years, we’ve mastered the full spectrum of the tile industry, from floor installations and selection of products to importing and distribution. And there’s no stopping us! At Ideal Tile, we’re always on the lookout for innovations within the industry and we are renowned trendsetters.
