Is it better to cut tile wet or dry?

• <div><p>Generally speaking, it is better to cut tile wet when using a fast-moving wet saw to reduce dust and chipping. However, tile can be cut dry when using just about any cutting tool. Dry cutting will result in a bigger mess and may increase the risk of chipping or cracking, but if you’re just making small cuts, dry cutting is a safe and viable option. Cutting dry also means you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-clean-tile-and-grout.htm">apply tile grout</a> sooner, so it’s better for rushed projects.</p></div>

Can you use grout and caulk together?

• <div><p>Grout and caulk are commonly used together, especially in bathrooms. Grout goes between the tiles and keeps them sturdy and in place on the walls or floor. Caulk goes in corners or where two different materials meet (like where the bathtub meets the tile) to create a waterproof seal. However, they are not interchangeable—you shouldn't use caulk to adhere tile and shouldn’t use mortar if you need a waterproof seal.</p></div>

What type of tile cutter is best?

• <div><p>Different types of tile cutters may work best depending on the type of tile you are cutting and the size of your project. There are two main types of tile cutters: manual and electric. Manual tile cutters are quick and easy to use for small projects and softer tile materials, but they can only make straight cuts. Electric tile cutters make light work of big projects and can cut through harder materials.</p></div>

How is natural stone formed?

• <div><p>Natural stone is formed in deep layers of the Earth through natural processes over thousands of years. The solid composition formations become massive rock beds, or quarries, from which miners extract them.</p></div>

How do you know how many boxes of tile you need?

• <div><p>The number of boxes of tile you need depends entirely on the amount of tile in each box or case. Different manufacturers package their tiles differently, and boxes contain different amounts of tile depending on the size, shape, and material. Often, the amount of area that a case will cover is listed in the product description. To calculate the number of boxes you need, take the total square feet of the space and divide it by the number of square feet the box will cover.</p></div>

"I had Imperial stone do quarts in my kitchen and two baths. After spending almost 8000 you would expect a quality job but that's not what I had received. What I did get was wrong cuts, seam where no seam was suppose to be and a broken sink that they broke that took two months to be replace. After four month from the install date the job still is not fixed right."
