What You Need to Know About Tile Installation

Tile is known to be a versatile and durable flooring product. You can even install tile on your walls in showers. Commonly tiles are installed in bathrooms and kitchens, as well as laundry rooms and mudrooms. Before your installation begins, our installers will do a moisture test in those areas to determine what type of tile would be right for that space. We always recommend talking to one of our flooring experts about what tile is best for places with a lot of humidity and moisture.

 

Porcelain tiles are best for bathrooms and laundry rooms because they have a lower absorption rate and will not expand due to contact with moisture. Tiles are normally dry-laid first to make sure they are correctly sized to the room, cut if needed, and then adhered to the floor with tile cement and grouted.

 

 

Where Can Tile Be Installed?

Bathrooms

Tile is a good option for bathrooms because it is

both heat and moisture resistant, which is common

in bathrooms. Tile can be installed on your bathrooms

floors as well as walls and custom shower stalls. For

bathrooms there are different types of tiles, choosing

a textured tile is a good idea because they are more slip

resistant, and bathroom floors tend to be slippery.

Kitchens

In kitchens, tiles are common on both the

floors and walls. Kitchen floor tile is popular

because it can stand up to a lot of foot traffic, and

is easy to clean when spills or accidents happen. Kitchen

wall tile, or backsplash tile, not only adds a focal point in

your kitchen, but it also serves as a protective barrier

between your wall and accidental food splatter

and heat from appliances.
