Why are large tiles harder to install?

• <div><p>Larger tiles can be difficult to install because they’re heavier and bulkier than their smaller counterparts, which makes them harder to haul around and put in place. Plus, if you don’t install the tiles correctly, they could crack or break. For these reasons, it’s best to hire a professional for large-format tile installation. </p></div>

Q: How do you use T-shaped tile spacers?

• <div><p>Add a T-shaped spacer to each corner of a tile when placing it. You&rsquo;ll want to nudge the tiles closer together so the spacers are touching each corner. When you&rsquo;re done installing your tile, you can remove each spacer, wash them, and use them for your next project. </p></div>

Q: What tile is least slippery for a shower floor?

• <div><p>Natural stone floors, especially pebble-style tiling, are one of the least slippery options for a shower floor. Natural stone has a texture to reduce slickness, and pebble-shaped tiles add more visual and textural contrast while reducing slippage. Vinyl tiles are also designed with anti-slip texture for added safety. If you have a slippery tile, be sure to add a grippy shower mat to reduce the risk of falls. </p></div>

Q: What can I use instead of tile spacers?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re out of spacers for your tile installation, you can use pennies. Each time you place a tile, stick the pennies around the edges (on the sides and the corners). Like working with spacers, you&rsquo;ll want the same amount of space around each tile before they set. </p></div>

Q: Does a shower pan go under tile?

• <div><p>Yes, your shower pan goes underneath your tiling and helps prevent excess water from seeping into the floor. Without the shower pan under your tile, water will seep through the grout and into the flooring. This will eventually lead to mold growth and serious water damage that could cost thousands of dollars to fix. </p></div>
