Q: Do you need a moisture barrier under ceramic tile?

• <div><p>When tiling over concrete, you should install an anti-fracture membrane after the concrete has been prepared. The anti-fracture membrane acts as a moisture barrier and should be installed to protect the tiles from moisture which helps maintain their integrity. Often, Ditra, a brand name, is used interchangeably with moisture barrier.</p></div>

Q: Do you grout hearth tiles?

• <div><p>Grouting hearth tiles is one of the most important steps. It seals the tiles so heat doesn&rsquo;t transfer under the tiles so easily, which can be dangerous. For this reason, heat-resistant grout is a must. Grout also prevents dust, dirt, and any other material from gathering between your tiles. If this happens and those buildups are flammable, a fire could start between the tiles. </p></div>

Q: What do you put under a tile floor?

• <div><p>To ensure an even and unbending surface to lay tiles on, you&rsquo;ll typically need to put a subfloor under a tile floor. Fiber cement backboards are the most common choice, but using plywood is also possible. Don&rsquo;t neglect this step, or you could risk water damage and grout or tiles prematurely cracking or crumbling, especially in an area with high foot traffic. </p></div>

Q: How much backsplash tile do I need?

• <div><p>Figure out how much tile you need by <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-measure-for-backsplash.htm">measuring the backsplash area</a>. Measure the height and length in feet and multiply to get the square footage. Don&rsquo;t make adjustments for outlets or small cutouts but subtract the square footage for windows or other large obstructions from the total. To account for waste, get <b>10%</b> more than your calculation. </p></div>

Q: Why are large tiles harder to install?

• <div><p>Larger tiles can be difficult to install because they&rsquo;re heavier and bulkier than their smaller counterparts, which makes them harder to haul around and put in place. Plus, if you don&rsquo;t install the tiles correctly, they could crack or break. For these reasons, it&rsquo;s best to hire a professional for large-format tile installation. </p></div>
