Q: How do you stop tiles from cracking more?

• <div><p>Once cracks appear, it is hard to stop tiles from cracking more. If the cause of the problem is improper subflooring, underlying concrete, improper tile joint sizes, mold growth, or structural issues, the only way to stop floor tiles from cracking is to redo the entire floor, fixing the underlying issues first. If cracks occur after impact damage, hiring a professional tile contractor to replace the cracked tiles, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-fix-loose-floor-tiles.htm">fix loose floor tiles</a>, and restore the grout around them can prevent further damage. It is also important to keep your tile and grout clean and maintained to prolong its life.</p></div>

Q: Do you grout or caulk where the tile meets the wall?

• <div><p>You should always use caulk instead of grout where the tile meets the wall. This will help your tile installation look great and last a long time. When you accidentally use grout for the corner seams, you end up making the tiles too rigid. So as the wall shifts over time, your tiles have no wiggle room. This can lead to tile damage, which will eventually require you to do at least a partial reinstallation.</p></div>

Q: How much backsplash tile do I need?

• <div><p>Figure out how much tile you need by <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-measure-for-backsplash.htm">measuring the backsplash area</a>. Measure the height and length in feet and multiply to get the square footage. Don&rsquo;t make adjustments for outlets or small cutouts but subtract the square footage for windows or other large obstructions from the total. To account for waste, get <b>10%</b> more than your calculation. </p></div>

Q: How long do tiles last?

• <div><p>Tiles last for around 100 years or more. Tiles on backsplashes can last even longer since they&rsquo;re less likely to crack under foot traffic or from accidental drops, but even tile in high-traffic flooring can last a century or more with proper installation and upkeep. Porcelain tiles are denser and stronger than standard ceramic tiles, so they&rsquo;ll last longer, often pushing past the 100-year mark.</p></div>

Q: How do porcelain tiles compare to ceramic tiles?

• <div><p>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 <b>$3 to $5 more per square foot</b>.</p><p>Even with the higher price point, many people choose porcelain over ceramic because there are more color and design options.</p></div>

I’m a hardworking person who doesn’t like to leave projects half finished or looking sloppy, I can be a bit of a perfectionist. I’ve always fixed and built almost everything I needed myself and I take pride in being self sufficient. I’ve been an electrician for a year and half now and before that I was fabricating aerators for private residences. I have a wife and two children, so I can handle the chaos of a whole house remodel even if you decide to alter any details halfway through.
