"Adrian is extremely professional, honest, courteous, and hard working. He did not expect payment until the work was completed, which was a refreshing change after having dealt with the fraudulent nightmare that was Chris Wray of Southern Design Tile and Marble. We had to purchase more marble because our first tile installer (Chris Wray) charged us for marble that he never purchased and never delivered. Adrian was helpful and passed on his savings to us. Just a complete breath of fresh air! He makes money on his work, not on the tile, and his work is excellent. Our marble bathroom looks beautiful! I will definitely call European Flooring Installers for any future renovations! Adrian communicates well, puts down drop cloths to protect wood floors and carpets, and cleans up after each visit. You are never left wondering when he'll return to finish. He aims to please his clients, and he does! We highly recommend European Flooring Installers!

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

For glass tile, you want to use unsanded grout. Sanded grout is a stronger and grittier cement grout that is great for installing tiles with wider gaps and into joints. However, it is susceptible to scratching glass tile and is more difficult to use in thinner gaps. Unsanded grout, while more expensive, is easier to fit between thin gaps and is less harsh on delicate materials, like glass tile.

It’s not necessarily normal for tiles to lift, although it’s one of the common issues people may have with their tile flooring. Tiles correctly installed by pros with expansion joints should not lift over time. However, if the installation was done poorly, you might see tiles tenting or lifting as the house settles. This is more common in high-moisture areas with extreme temperatures.

Mortar and thinset both serve the same purpose—tile adhesion—but have different compositions and use-cases. Thinset is heatproof and presents a wide range of possibilities due to the added polymers. Mortar is typically used for bonding stones and brick. Thinset is rarely used outside, while mortar is rarely used inside.

Installing kitchen countertop tiles on a mold and moisture-resistant cement backer board is one of the best options. When fitted correctly on top of a plywood base, it’s stable and long-lasting. Old-fashioned cement board is economical, cuts neatly and easily with a circular or jigsaw, and screws into plywood without any difficulty.

It’s easiest to start from an edge as it gives you a straight line. A problem may arise if your edge doesn’t line up perfectly, in which case it’s best to start from the center. Some think that starting tile from the center adds a focal point in the center of the hearth.
