Q: Why are large tiles harder to install?

• <div><p>Larger tiles can be difficult to install because they&rsquo;re heavier and bulkier than their smaller counterparts, which makes them harder to haul around and put in place. Plus, if you don&rsquo;t install the tiles correctly, they could crack or break. For these reasons, it&rsquo;s best to hire a professional for large-format tile installation. </p></div>

Q: What do you put under a tile floor?

• <div><p>To ensure an even and unbending surface to lay tiles on, you&rsquo;ll typically need to put a subfloor under a tile floor. Fiber cement backboards are the most common choice, but using plywood is also possible. Don&rsquo;t neglect this step, or you could risk water damage and grout or tiles prematurely cracking or crumbling, especially in an area with high foot traffic. </p></div>

Q: Can I tile a shower myself?

• <div><p>Yes, you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-tile-shower.htm">tile a shower</a> as a DIY project, and you can save hundreds of dollars in labor costs by doing so. However, you&rsquo;ll need to rent or buy quite a few tools and supplies for the job, including a saw, tile nippers, and a new shower pan. In terms of the work itself, you should be prepared to tackle a variety of different tasks, including measuring and ordering materials, removing old tile, waterproofing the wall, adding rows of tile, grouting, and more. </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>

Q: What is the lowest maintenance shower floor tile?

• <div><p>There are several low-maintenance shower floor tiles to consider for your bathroom. Stone tiles are easy to keep clean and only need an occasional resealing to keep them looking their best. Porcelain is another low-maintenance choice, as it doesn&rsquo;t stain easily. Vinyl is also suitable for easy upkeep. On the other hand, one of the highest maintenance options for bathrooms is wood tile.</p></div>

Richard installed tile in my rental 8 years ago. He was very knowledgeable about the layout of the job in the kitchen, dining room, entry way, and two bathrooms. I was just in the house. Not one tile has cracked, and all grout is still in place. Beautiful job! I would highly recommend him.
