Get matched with top ceramic tile pros in Durant, IA

Q: What types of tiles are available?

• <div><p>Options include clay, concrete, and slate tiles. Each offers unique durability, aesthetics, and costs.</p></div>

Q: Can you install tile over tile?

• <div><p>You can technically install tile over tile, but we don&rsquo;t suggest it. Installing tile over any surface that isn&rsquo;t a completely flat and prepared subfloor will result in a shoddy overall job, uneven flooring, tiles that don&rsquo;t adhere, extra weight, gaps, cracks, and room for moisture and dirt to enter. For the best results, only install new tile on a flat, sanded surface like subflooring or concrete that is prepared for tile.</p><p>If you have asbestos tile and would rather tile over it than remove it, or if your existing tile is completely flat and bonded tightly to the floor, you may be able to tile over existing tile. But experts recommend thinking twice before you do.</p></div>

Q: What should you avoid with porcelain tiles?

• <div><p>When cleaning porcelain tiles, avoid products that contain ammonia, bleach, and other harsh chemicals. Acid-based cleansers can damage the tile, though you can clean them with a diluted mixture of one-quarter cup white vinegar mixed with one gallon of hot water. It is important always to use a soft-bristled brush or sponge, since hard bristles and steel wool can scratch the tile.</p></div>

Q: How do I choose the right tiles for my bathroom?

• <div><p>Your tiles will have a significant visual impact on your bathroom, so you&rsquo;ll want to make a thoughtful decision. Once you land on the tile material that suits your needs and budget, you can consider the color schemes you want. Consider whether you want something modern, classic, or eye-catching. </p></div>

Q: What is the difference between travertine and porcelain tile?

• <div><p>Travertine is a natural stone, while porcelain is ceramic. You can enjoy the best of both worlds with porcelain travertine tiles. Some people prefer porcelain to travertine because it doesn&rsquo;t require regular maintenance and it&rsquo;s easier to clean. Porcelain travertine looks like the real thing but only costs <b>$3 to $6 per square foot.</b></p></div>

Nick arrived right at 8:00AM. Nick was very knowledgeable and had the old tub and tiles out pretty fast. Nick installed the walk-in shower and it looks great. Nick cleaned up his mess and left the house in good condition. I would recommend Nick to perform work on anyone’s project.

"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me. Overall, they're good designs. However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning. I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging.
Jill was very responsive when I did have a question. I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done. If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs.
