Get matched with top backsplash installation pros in Olpe, KS

Q: Should I remove tile before installing hardwood floors?

• <div><p>Ideally, you should remove tile before installing hardwood floors, but there are good reasons not to. Removing stubborn tile can be a labor-intensive job that adds days to the project. The subfloor beneath the tiles could also be damaged during the process, meaning you&rsquo;d have to repair the subfloor before installing the new hardwood floor. </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>

Q: Should you keep spare tiles?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s always a good idea to keep a box or two of spare tiles after a home renovation project. Tiles can crack from improper installation, heavy foot traffic, and impact from drops. Having some extra tile on hand can make replacement fast, easy, and affordable. Plus, some manufacturers might discontinue particular colors or styles, and slight variations in tile colors between batches could mean mismatched tiles even if your product isn&rsquo;t discontinued. Having a few spare tiles in storage can help avoid these issues, as well.</p></div>

Q: How do you finish glass tile edges?

• <div><p>Using caulk is one of the simplest and most recommended methods to finish glass tile edges. It creates an elegant seam between the glass tile and the adjacent area, along with a waterproof seal. With this method, you want to use a caulk color that matches the grout and, along with the grout, compliments the tile. Make sure the caulk line is smooth and even. Alternatively, you can use a bullnose or tile trimming to edge, however, that will also require caulk to seal.</p></div>

Q: Does the floor have to be completely level for tile?

• <div><p>Your floors should be completely level for tile, otherwise you risk damaging the tiles in the future. When there are even small gaps or hills in the subfloor beneath the tile, this puts more pressure on the tile when you walk around on the floor. With repeated traffic, the tiles are at risk of cracking, and you&rsquo;ll have to deal with tile repairs sooner than if the floor was completely level.</p></div>

"This experience from start to finish of our remodel of our master shower changing from a standard shower to a handicap setup with classy completion has been great. Josh Howard and Nathan Smith were great to work with getting the project setup and designed. They are very caring young men and the installer was very professional, pleasant, quick and cleaned up fantastically afterwards. I have enjoyed having a new and improved shower that is much safer now."
