Burt Whitton, owner and craftsman of Burt Whitton Tile.

Burt Whitton is the owner and craftsman behind Burt Whitton Tile, a Las Vegas-based tile company specializing in artisan and luxury tilework.

His work is centered around thoughtful design, precision installation, and creating finished spaces that feel intentional from every angle.

Rather than approaching tile as simply another construction trade, Burt treats each project as a piece of craftsmanship — carefully considering layout, proportion, material, and the small details that separate good tilework from exceptional tilework.

Approach

How the work gets done.

The layout comes first

Before anything is set, the space is measured and the layout is worked out — where the field starts, where the cuts land, and how the pattern meets every corner and edge.

Materials get respect

Stone and tile have grain, veining and variation. Panels are arranged so the material reads the way it was meant to, rather than being installed in the order it came out of the box.

Details are not the last step

Niches, benches, transitions and edges are planned at the start, because they are the parts of a room people stand next to and look at closely.
