Q: Can I tile over the existing tiles in my bathroom?

• <div><p>Yes, you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-tile-over-tile.htm">can tile over tile</a>. However, the original tiling job must be clean, flat, and free of damage, such as mold or mildew. Removing existing tiles is time-consuming and expensive, so it might make sense to skip this step.</p><p>Remember that when you tile over an existing layer, your walls or floor will get that much taller, so it might not work, depending on your door height.</p></div>

Q: How long can tile sit without grout?

• <div><p>You can let the tile sit without grout. Don&rsquo;t panic if there&rsquo;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. </p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between floor and wall tile?

• <div><p>The difference between floor and wall tiles is that floor tiles generally have higher strength and porosity ratings than wall tiles. Wall tiles are typically weaker and more likely to crack or become damaged under sustained pressure like high foot traffic. </p><p>For this reason, avoid using wall tiles on floors and vice versa.</p></div>

Q: What is the best trowel for penny tile?

• <div><p>The best trowel for penny tile is a 3/16-inch-by-5/32-inch V-notch trowel. Because of the small size of the penny tile, you want a trowel with small notches that can lay a thin layer of mortar on the surface you&rsquo;re tiling. If the notches are too wide, you risk applying too thick of a layer of mortar, and it can squeeze out between the penny tiles.</p></div>

Q: How much does tile floor installation cost?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tile-installation-cost-guide.htm">Tile floor installation costs</a> about <b>$1,900</b> on average. The low end of the price range is about <b>$400 up to about $6,000</b> or more on the high end. Several cost factors include the size of the area, the shape of the floor, the complexity of the pattern, the type of tile chosen, and labor rates in your area. Additional cost factors include the amount of preparation needed and any additional materials like subfloor or backer board.</p></div>

Everyone at Murray's Tile was polite and responsive. The workmen arrived when promised and did a good job. Their price was higher than the other estimates I received, but unlike other contractors, they showed up to do the work. I am very happy with the result.
