Q: What tile will never go out of style?

• <div><p>Regardless of the material, basic square tiles will never go out of style. Neutral colors like white, grey, beige, and black will always be in demand in residential and commercial settings. Certain designs, like herringbone and hexagonal patterns, are considered timeless. Porcelain and porcelain-like tiles will also never go out of style.</p></div>

Q: What is the best tile for a dog shower?

• <div><p>There isn&rsquo;t a one-size-fits-all best tile for a dog shower. Consider your budget, tile durability, aesthetics, and, most importantly, practicality. Avoid tiles your dog will slide around on. Pebbles are a great non-slip option, but are pricey and tricky to install. Glass might look modern, but it&rsquo;s not scratch-resistant. Small, floor-rated <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/porcelain-vs-ceramic-tile.htm">ceramic or porcelain tiles</a> are economical and have many grout lines that make the surface more slip-resistant. Pick a matte finish rather than a shiny tile if you want it to hide stray mud and hairs better.</p></div>

Q: Can I use sanded grout in a shower?

• <div><p>You can use sanded or unsanded grout for a shower pan, but sanded grout isn&rsquo;t the best option for shower walls. For those areas, you&rsquo;ll want to use unsanded grout, which works well on vertical surfaces and is less likely to slump than sanded grout. Alternatively, you can use epoxy grout for shower walls. </p></div>

Q: Couldn’t I just attach drywall to the tile with adhesive instead of screws?

• <div><p>Here&rsquo;s another instance of where the answer is you <i>could</i>, but that doesn&rsquo;t mean you <i>should</i>. Yes, part of the issue is getting the drywall to stay in place on the tiles, and it&rsquo;s understandable that screws will crack the tiles and cause them to crumble. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s a much better idea to screw drywall into studs, not your porcelain or ceramic tile. But aside from issues with attaching the drywall, it&rsquo;s also about ensuring a smooth application without trapping moisture inside.</p></div>

Q: Do I need a backer board for wall tile?

• <div><p>No, you don&rsquo;t technically need a cement backer board for a wall tiling project, but not using it risks disastrous moisture damage. Cement is naturally water-resistant, whereas drywall soaks it in, which can lead to warping or mold growth. Always use a backer board treated with a waterproof membrane for bathrooms and other chronically damp areas to ensure complete <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/your-shower-tile-really-waterproof.htm">tile shower waterproofing</a>.</p></div>
