"Sergey was very professional and excellent with communication. He showed us designs so we could see exactly how our choice of tile would look in different patterns. Michael is a true artist and carried out the work with precision. I am delighted with the tile installation. The whole area was cleaned and looked fantastic when they finished. I highly recommend Prospectile and I will be calling them for all future tile projects."

"Luis from LJ Flooring is one of the best contractors I've ever worked with. He went above and beyond to work with me on scheduling the job due to some delays on my part with tile delivery. He arrived at the time/day he said he would, and completed the job when agreed. He took extra care to clean up and did all the hard work in removing and reinstalling my kitchen appliances so he could lay tile underneath. He also made some new baseboards where there were none. He helped me select the right color grout too. The new tile looks amazing, the cost was very competitive, and I couldn't be happier."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

Porcelain and ceramic tiles are made from clay, but porcelain tiles are fired in a kiln at a higher temperature. This makes them more durable, but it also means porcelain is more expensive than ceramic at $3 to $5 more per square foot.

Even with the higher price point, many people choose porcelain over ceramic because there are more color and design options.

No, you don’t technically need a cement backer board for a wall tiling project, but not using it risks disastrous moisture damage. Cement is naturally water-resistant, whereas drywall soaks it in, which can lead to warping or mold growth. Always use a backer board treated with a waterproof membrane for bathrooms and other chronically damp areas to ensure complete tile shower waterproofing.

The easiest tile size to install is large tiles, and they’re easier to install than small tiles—the job is faster and simpler when there’s less placing, adhering, and grouting to do. However, when tiles get really big, they’re more difficult to handle, cut, and fit. Standard floor tile sizes are 12-by-12 inches, 18-by-18 inches, and 12-by-24 inches.

It’s easiest to start from an edge as it gives you a straight line. A problem may arise if your edge doesn’t line up perfectly, in which case it’s best to start from the center. Some think that starting tile from the center adds a focal point in the center of the hearth. 

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. 

For this reason, avoid using wall tiles on floors and vice versa.
