"I hired Sal to install ceramic tile on two bathroom floors and tub surrounds and was very happy with his work. He was easy to work with, reliable, and has great attention to detail and completing the work the correct way. His pricing is fair works with the client closely to complete the job. I highly recommend Sal and will use him again in future projects!"

"Sam and his team were professional, attentive and on-time. Their M.O. was definitely all about the satisfied customer. They were collaborative, and offered valuable suggestions (with reasoning) based on their experience. When the tile store sent the wrong tiles, Sam drove me to Floor & Decor to help me select another tile. Sam genuinely wanted to be sure I was happy with all three projects (kitchen backsplash, entryway and fireplace). Sam and Mark even worked on the weekend so we could meet my deadline, even though the project was delayed b/c of tile snafu. I highly recommend Sam and Glenview Tile. Wish I could give 6 stars."

"Raymond is very professional and is excellent at responding and communicating. I have a small galley kitchen and he had the doors detached and the cabinets painted within a day. Took away all meaterials. Then came a second day for a final coat and attach new doors. I was really impressed and it was a great value."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

Uniform spacing between tiles is important for a professional and clean appearance. To achieve this spacing, tile spacers should be placed between the tiles and left in place until the mortar hardens and the tiles are secure. You can use X-shaped spacers vertically in between the tiles and laid flat at the corners.

The choice of whether to tile or use an acrylic tub surround is up to you and can be based on a number of factors, including aesthetics, cost, waterproofing, ease of cleaning, and maintenance.

Tile is a beautiful, classic bathtub surround choice; while tile installation cost is higher, it’s customizable and offers visual appeal. Tile is also harder to clean and presents waterproofing problems because of grout lines. Acrylic surrounds can be more affordable, don’t require much maintenance, and are easier to clean. However, they aren’t usually as visually appealing and may need to be replaced if they become damaged.

Deciding between using a shower pan or tile will likely come down to the shower’s design. You can learn how to install a shower pan liner, but it has a standard look similar to most other showers, though there is some flexibility for material and color choices. Tile, on the other hand, can be customized and is set directly into the shower base. However, a shower tile floor is more difficult to install than a shower pan.

The tile spacing you should use will depend on the tile and where you’re installing it. Choosing the right tile spacers to maintain a consistent gap between your tiles is tricky. Generally, tile spacing shouldn’t be less than 2 millimeters on walls and 3 millimeters on floors because of stress relief requirements. Getting it wrong can result in uneven tiles and early repairs.

The cost to install porcelain tile is about $1,930 on average. Porcelain tile prices range from $880 to $3,000 or more. The average cost tends to be higher than ceramic tile because porcelain tile is very durable. Porcelain tile rating also factors into the material cost. Tile ratings are as follows:

  • Grade 0: Walls only

  • Grade 1: Walls and light traffic floors

  • Grade 2: Rooms with light traffic, but not kitchens or hallways

  • Grade 3: Kitchens, hallways, and entryways

  • Grade 4: Any area, interior or exterior

  • Grade 5: Highest durability good for any area, interior or exterior
