Get matched with top ceramic tile pros in Le Roy, IL

Q: What is the life span of porcelain countertops?

• <div><p>Porcelain countertops have a fairly long life span, sometimes lasting for decades. Depending on how much wear and tear you put your countertops through, it could last 25 to 50 years. But be warned, porcelain is also prone to cracking, so as long as you take good care of it, you&rsquo;ll have those countertops looking brand new for years to come.</p></div>

Q: How long can tile sit without grout?

• <div><p>You can let the tile sit without grout. Don&rsquo;t panic if there&rsquo;s a delay between installing the tiles and grouting. A substantial stoppage isn't a problem, provided you keep the tile surface clear of dust and debris. Also, avoid walking over less stable ungrouted floor tiles as they are more prone to premature cracking and shifting. </p></div>

Q: What is the best tile for a bathtub surround?

• <div><p>Bathrooms are naturally moisture-rich environments, so choose a durable, water-resistant tile for your tub surround. Porcelain and ceramic are two popular options that are also quite affordable. Glass is another good option that&rsquo;s also low-maintenance&mdash;you just need a glass cleaner like you would use on the bathroom mirror. Natural stone tile is porous, but it&rsquo;s still a viable option if you choose it in a glazed version.</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: Do you tile over hot mop?

• <div><p>You cannot tile directly over hot mop waterproofing because tile requires a smooth, solid surface to adhere properly. Additionally, the shower bed pan needs to be raised and sloped toward the drain to prevent water from pooling. However, you can hot mop and apply a sloped mortar bed over the top (to which the tile can then be adhered). </p></div>

"Hired initially for just a flooring install and painting the trim after, but added painting my main floor walls and adjusting all of my interior doors down to the new floor level. The project took just a little over two weeks. Everyone that I communicated with was very professional and explained things if I needed clarification. The new floor and new paint turned out really great and now my main floor looks like a whole different house. 10/10 would hire again."
