Get matched with top ceramic tile pros in Davis, IL

Q: When should you not use large tiles?

• <div><p>There are no unbreakable rules of design, but experts recommend against using large tiles in areas with poor subflooring where they&rsquo;re more prone to cracking, in areas where the floor isn&rsquo;t entirely level, over raised areas or dips, and in bathrooms where budget is the primary concern. The size of your bathroom shouldn&rsquo;t be a reason not to use large tiles; in fact, larger tiles, also known as slab tiles, can be a modern and sleek choice for bathroom floors and walls.</p></div>

Q: What is the best tile for a shower floor?

• <div><p>Glass, ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone are all excellent choices for tiling a shower floor. Some glazed finishes can be slippery when wet. Your tiling contractor can provide more information on which tiles will work best for your shower floor.</p></div>

Q: Can I cut tile without a wet saw?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s possible to cut tile without a wet saw; instead, you can use an angle grinder, a glass cutter, a snap cutter, tile nippers, or a rotary tool with a tile-cutting blade. A manual tile cutter or snap cutter works well for the larger tiles that wet saws are typically used for, while smaller projects might just require nippers or a glass cutting wheel. If you&rsquo;re working with large quantities of tile, however, power tools are best.</p></div>

Q: What can I use instead of tile spacers?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re out of spacers for your tile installation, you can use pennies. Each time you place a tile, stick the pennies around the edges (on the sides and the corners). Like working with spacers, you&rsquo;ll want the same amount of space around each tile before they set. </p></div>

Q: How do costs vary based on different types of tiles?

• <div><p>Tile costs vary by material; for example, ceramic tends to be more affordable than stone. These influence installation timelines and skill requirements.</p></div>
