Growing a family business.

Established in 1983, Architectural Ceramics, Inc. is proud to be a leading tile distributor in the Washington, DC metro area. Larry Sullivan, CEO, opened the first showroom in 1984 about ½ mile from the current Rockville location. During those formative years, Larry acted as salesperson, ordering department, and warehouse/delivery department. Also, by personally approaching each vendor, Larry has forged relationships in the industry that allow us to now bring you materials from hundreds of tile manufacturers.

Since 1992, with the addition of Larry's wife, Betty Sullivan, as President, Architectural Ceramics, Inc has grown from one showroom to five showrooms open to the public. See our Locations.

Betty's background in commercial construction and the tile industry provide an immeasurable advantage.

Through dedication and perseverance, Larry and Betty have created a company culture focused on unmatched professional service. This drive for quality pervades throughout the company from the sales to warehouse to accounting to customer service departments.

The team of experienced and dedicated residential and commercial designers at Architectural Ceramics, Inc exemplifies the original enthusiasm with which Larry launched the company, along with continuing the tradition of maintaining a personal touch with every interaction.
