Get matched with top ceramic tile pros in Archie, MO

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>

Q: How long does it take to tile a shower?

• <div><p>Most professional shower tile installations take between six and eight hours, depending on the size and complexity. Most projects get completed in a single workday. DIY-ing the project takes around three to four days or roughly 16 hours. However, this will vary based on the skill level of the person completing the work.</p></div>

Q: When should you not use large tiles?

• <div><p>There are no unbreakable rules of design, but experts recommend against using large tiles in areas with poor subflooring where they&rsquo;re more prone to cracking, in areas where the floor isn&rsquo;t entirely level, over raised areas or dips, and in bathrooms where budget is the primary concern. The size of your bathroom shouldn&rsquo;t be a reason not to use large tiles; in fact, larger tiles, also known as slab tiles, can be a modern and sleek choice for bathroom floors and walls.</p></div>

Q: Can I tile over painted walls?

• <div><p>No, tiling over painted walls or wallpapered surfaces is generally not recommended. Textured surfaces and paints will affect the adhesive, possibly causing tiles to lift or fall off. Painted walls with a semi-gloss or high-gloss finish are particularly difficult for adding tiles. It&rsquo;s wise to strip the paint first if you install the tiles to drywall, although it&rsquo;s still best to opt for a cement backer board.</p></div>

Q: Can you cut tiles without a tile cutter?

• <div><p>Yes, but you&rsquo;ll have to use some other type of tool to avoid damaging the tile and possibly injuring yourself. Some alternatives to tile cutters include a glass cutter, angle grinder, and wet saw. Depending on the tile material, you might simply be able to measure and score it with something sharp, like a carbide-tipped pencil, and break it off. Be sure to sand the edge for a smooth installation.</p></div>
