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>

Q: Can tile installation be a DIY project?

• <div><p>Tiling can be DIY with the right tools and skills, but challenges like ensuring evenness and appropriate adhesion often warrant professional handling.</p></div>

Q: How do I choose the right tiles for my bathroom?

• <div><p>Your tiles will have a significant visual impact on your bathroom, so you&rsquo;ll want to make a thoughtful decision. Once you land on the tile material that suits your needs and budget, you can consider the color schemes you want. Consider whether you want something modern, classic, or eye-catching. </p></div>

Q: Do you install shower doors before or after tile?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s best to install a shower door after the bathroom tile is in place to ensure you have accurate measurements. If you try installing a shower door first, the tile might be too thick to install afterward, or the tile will be too thin and create a gap between the shower doors that allows water to leak. With the tile in place first, you&rsquo;ll know the exact shower door size that you need.</p></div>
