Q: Are hairline cracks in tile normal?

• <div><p>Yes, unfortunately, it is normal for wall and floor tiles to crack, especially when you drop heavy items on tiled floors or place heavy objects on them. Tiles are also more susceptible to cracking when ceramic tiles designed for walls are installed on floors, as these are often not strong enough to handle heavy loads from foot traffic and furniture. Similarly, tiles that are installed incorrectly, lack adequate subflooring, or have other installation problems are prone to cracking. To avoid these problems and the inevitable repair and replacement costs they bring, always hire a professional for tile work and follow best practices for installation.</p></div>

Q: What color tile makes a small bathroom look bigger?

• <div><p>Light color tiles make small bathrooms look bigger due to the visual tricks lighter-colored surfaces can play on our eyes. Dark colors on floors and walls can visually shrink a space, as can tiny tiles, tiles with a lot of patterns, and smaller tiles paired with contrasting grout. The secret to making a bathroom look bigger is to choose a lighter tile&mdash;such as white, cream, light gray, or another light neutral&mdash;and pair it with a matching or nearly same-colored grout that gives the floor and walls a more continuous and uninterrupted appearance.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to tile over tile?

• <div><p>The process takes two to four days, depending on the size of the area and your experience level. The first day involves assessing and prepping the existing tile, while the second day is for laying the new tile. This may take longer in complex areas. After letting the adhesive dry for 24 hours, grouting and sealing can be completed on day three. For larger projects or intricate tile patterns, expect the timeline to stretch a bit longer. Also, proper drying time between steps is essential for long-lasting results, which extends the project&rsquo;s time.</p></div>

Q: Should I remove tile before installing hardwood floors?

• <div><p>Ideally, you should remove tile before installing hardwood floors, but there are good reasons not to. Removing stubborn tile can be a labor-intensive job that adds days to the project. The subfloor beneath the tiles could also be damaged during the process, meaning you&rsquo;d have to repair the subfloor before installing the new hardwood floor. </p></div>

Q: What type of tile is best for a shower?

• <div><p>The best <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/shower-tile-ideas.htm">types of tiles for a shower</a> are ceramic and porcelain tiles. These materials are durable, water-resistant, and easy to maintain, making them ideal for wet environments. Porcelain tiles are slightly more durable than ceramic. Both options come in a wide variety of styles, so you can achieve the perfect look for your bathroom.</p></div>

Working with America Cool Construction was a great experience. Very responsive to questions and gave the most detailed bid out of the three I got. Itâ s way different than many other contractors we dealt with. The installers were polite and worked a long date to complete the job.
