"Outstanding attention by Renato and his crew to every detail! 120 sq feet of porcelain kitchen floor tile looks absolutely perfect. The workmen did a terrific job of shielding the rest of the area from any dust or airborne debris, cleaned up after themselves thoroughly, and accommodated our schedule when the job turned out to be more complex and time-consuming than first proposed (we chose to use smaller tiles than originally planned). Renato graciously accepted this change with no increase in the fixed price for the installation. He also kindly assisted us in delivering the tiles; did a successful spot repair to a dishwasher wiring cable that had begun to disintegrate at the connection box ; and even repurposed for us a spare wooden panel to better conceal the side of the dishwasher! We would give his team 6 stars if we could. His price was very competitive and fair, and I am happy to recommend him wholeheartedly!"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

It’s important to leave a gap in the corner when tiling to allow room for tile expansion. Leaving between one eighth of an inch to one tenth of an inch is enough space. 

Yes, unfortunately, it is normal for wall and floor tiles to crack, especially when you drop heavy items on tiled floors or place heavy objects on them. Tiles are also more susceptible to cracking when ceramic tiles designed for walls are installed on floors, as these are often not strong enough to handle heavy loads from foot traffic and furniture. Similarly, tiles that are installed incorrectly, lack adequate subflooring, or have other installation problems are prone to cracking. To avoid these problems and the inevitable repair and replacement costs they bring, always hire a professional for tile work and follow best practices for installation.

When choosing tiles for a shower floor, avoid highly porous tile materials, like those with a water absorption rating over 7%. Don’t use non-vitreous tiles, or tiles fired at low temperatures, because they will absorb more water. If you use a highly porous tile in the shower, the tiles can wear down faster, meaning they’ll need to be replaced much sooner.

You can let the tile sit without grout. Don’t panic if there’s a delay between installing the tiles and grouting. A substantial stoppage isn't a problem, provided you keep the tile surface clear of dust and debris. Also, avoid walking over less stable ungrouted floor tiles as they are more prone to premature cracking and shifting. 

Whether you want to match your tile trim with grout comes down to your personal preferences. If you match the two, it can help your tiles to stand out while providing a clean, cohesive look. On the other hand, you might opt to match your tile trim with your tiles. The best option will depend largely on your tile design, as well as how it fits overall with the rest of your room.
