Get matched with top ceramic tile pros in Cambria, IL

Q: What tile will never go out of style?

• <div><p>Regardless of the material, basic square tiles will never go out of style. Neutral colors like white, grey, beige, and black will always be in demand in residential and commercial settings. Certain designs, like herringbone and hexagonal patterns, are considered timeless. Porcelain and porcelain-like tiles will also never go out of style.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between floor and wall tile?

• <div><p>The difference between floor and wall tiles is that floor tiles generally have higher strength and porosity ratings than wall tiles. Wall tiles are typically weaker and more likely to crack or become damaged under sustained pressure like high foot traffic. </p><p>For this reason, avoid using wall tiles on floors and vice versa.</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 is the best trowel for penny tile?

• <div><p>The best trowel for penny tile is a 3/16-inch-by-5/32-inch V-notch trowel. Because of the small size of the penny tile, you want a trowel with small notches that can lay a thin layer of mortar on the surface you&rsquo;re tiling. If the notches are too wide, you risk applying too thick of a layer of mortar, and it can squeeze out between the penny tiles.</p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to regrout or retile?

• <div><p>Regrouting is cheaper than retiling, and it involves less work. Grout is available in a wide range of colors, making it a cost-effective way to improve the look of any tiled area in your home.</p></div>

Harold is very nice however I would not recommend him to anyone based on how my bathroom was left. I chose white tile with black grout. When he left he informed I would need to “wipe the haze” off the tile in a couple hours. I went upstairs to find a complete mess. There was more than a haze. I...

"Peter Lindstrom was a true professional. He was on time, explained was he was going to do and informed me what products he would use. I had many pet stains ( from a dog who had been very sick) I was very apprehensive that the stains could be gotten out of a very light color carpet. He worked and removed these stains. Very impressed! He also does window washing. He came back the next day and washed my windows and did an excellent job. I would highly recommend Peter"

"Overall, we are very satisfied with the services provided. I was nervous at first, because after they left the first day, the paint wasn't even and there was some paint on our tile. We called them back immediately, and then were very respectful and scheduled an appt for the next morning to fix the paint job. The next day, after the 2nd coat, the room looked amazing. They even got all the paint off the tile. They were very friendly and we will definitely be using their services in the future."
