What our partners say

“Flume came to the rescue on a recent hotel project when key finishes were coming in well over budget. They sourced materials that met our exact specifications at a fraction of the cost without compromising the design. We will absolutely turn to Flume for all future projects.”
Shannon Niehenke Principal, Narrative Design Studio
“I have been in the tile industry for 10 years and was a little skeptical about buying from Flume at first, because we had never heard of them, the specified stone was coming from Belgium, and we had to meet a project schedule. Flume over-delivered. The material came in on time, there was no damage.”
Matt Austen Manager, Rinaldi Tile & Marble
