We are a Western Canadian distributor of tile, stone, and luxury vinyl tile (LVT). Ames Tile & Stone began in 1912 as Ames Bros. Distributors Ltd. on Alexander Street in downtown Vancouver. Founded by Cyril Ames and his brother David, Ames Bros. started as a small agency business. The partnership between the brothers lasted less than two weeks, but the company has lived on for 100 years and has evolved and emerged as a leader in the tile and stone industry. Although the name and products have changed, the principles are the same. Four generations of the Ames family have brought their commitment to excellence and customer service to the communities they serve. Over the years, Ames has expanded from a small downtown office on Alexander Street to showroom and warehouse space in Burnaby, Vancouver West Second, Calgary, Edmonton, and Winnipeg.
