"They arrived when they said they would. They did the demo removal of broken tile with minimal dust. They did an excellent installation of floor tile; even, level. Cleaned up the work area at the completion. Very courteous workers. Good price for a difficult job. I would hire them again."

"I am very happy with the work that Meadows Tile did for me. Gabe and his coworker were both very professional and knowledgeable in their craft. Meadows Tile installed 800 sqft of LVP flooring over an old tile floor. Gabe was organized and stayed on top of the evolving demands of the project. I especially appreciated his communication and business approach throughout the job. I strongly recommend Gabe. Thank You to Meadows Tile"

Backsplash Installation FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, it would be best if you waterproofed your shower walls before tiling. The cement backing board behind the tile is not waterproof; it’s only water-resistant. On top of your tile backing board, be sure to use a waterproof shower membrane before you start installing your shower tiles.

A cement backer board is not needed for laying tile on concrete. Sometimes referred to as a cementitious backer unit, or CBU, backer board should be used if the subfloor is plywood or OSB. The backer board provides a base on which to install the tiles that isn’t as likely to be damaged by any accidental water seepage as natural materials would be.

Tile shouldn’t be set tight against the tub. Bathtubs can expand when filled, and they can shift slightly with the weight of occupants. For this reason, it’s important to leave a slight gap between the bathtub and the first row of tile. Aim for a narrow gap of approximately 1/16 of an inch, filled with caulk, to allow for this expansion and movement while still allowing for tile shower waterproofing.

Poured-in-place terrazzo flooring is more durable than tile. In fact, it’s one of the most durable types of flooring on the market. It can last anywhere from 40 to 100 years, depending on maintenance. On average, you can expect your terrazzo floor to last about 75 years, but you will have to make repairs as needed.

You should always use caulk instead of grout where the tile meets the wall. This will help your tile installation look great and last a long time. When you accidentally use grout for the corner seams, you end up making the tiles too rigid. So as the wall shifts over time, your tiles have no wiggle room. This can lead to tile damage, which will eventually require you to do at least a partial reinstallation.
