Q: What is the best tile for a shower floor?

• <div><p>Glass, ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone are all excellent choices for tiling a shower floor. Some glazed finishes can be slippery when wet. Your tiling contractor can provide more information on which tiles will work best for your shower floor.</p></div>

Q: Does a tile shower increase home value?

• <div><p>A quality shower tiling project is a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/which-bathroom-features-increase-resale-value.htm">bathroom upgrade that can increase resale value</a>. Bathroom remodels have the highest return on investments for any home update. Tiling a shower won&rsquo;t offer the potential 70% ROI that a full bathroom remodel involving upgrading fixtures, installing storage, and a complete room retile will. However, you can expect an average return of 55% to 60% for this refresh.</p></div>

Q: Can you install tile over tile?

• <div><p>You can technically install tile over tile, but we don&rsquo;t suggest it. Installing tile over any surface that isn&rsquo;t a completely flat and prepared subfloor will result in a shoddy overall job, uneven flooring, tiles that don&rsquo;t adhere, extra weight, gaps, cracks, and room for moisture and dirt to enter. For the best results, only install new tile on a flat, sanded surface like subflooring or concrete that is prepared for tile.</p><p>If you have asbestos tile and would rather tile over it than remove it, or if your existing tile is completely flat and bonded tightly to the floor, you may be able to tile over existing tile. But experts recommend thinking twice before you do.</p></div>

Q: How do you finish the edges of a tiled hearth?

• <div><p>If the hearth ends against a wall, you can use a tile cutter as you normally would. However, if the edge of your hearth ends with no surface pressing against it,you may want to look into rounded tiles. These give a smooth edge to your hearth and make sure cut edges aren&rsquo;t visible. You can also see if the tile you have has pieces that have been glazed or rounded on one edge. You&rsquo;d then cut the tile and place it normally, with the cut edge facing inward. </p></div>

Q: Can you put hot pans on porcelain countertops?

• <div><p>You can put hot pans on porcelain countertops. Porcelain is highly resistant to heat&mdash;it&rsquo;s manufactured at around 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit, so it can withstand a ton of heat without cracking or damaging. Even though the high heat is a plus, you should still be cautious when putting hot surfaces on porcelain countertops. </p></div>
