Q: Do I need a backer board for wall tile?

• <div><p>No, you don&rsquo;t technically need a cement backer board for a wall tiling project, but not using it risks disastrous moisture damage. Cement is naturally water-resistant, whereas drywall soaks it in, which can lead to warping or mold growth. Always use a backer board treated with a waterproof membrane for bathrooms and other chronically damp areas to ensure complete <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/your-shower-tile-really-waterproof.htm">tile shower waterproofing</a>.</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>

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: What is the cost of natural stone pavers vs. porcelain pavers?

• <div><p>The cost depends on the type of natural stone. High-end stones can cost as much as porcelain, but it depends on the specific material. For example, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-common-flagstone-prices.htm">cost of flagstone pavers</a> is typically <b>$2 to $6 per square foot</b>,<b> </b>which is much more budget-friendly than porcelain<b>. </b>Outdoor slate tile can cost as much as<b> $35 per square foot</b>,<b> </b>which is about the same as porcelain.</p></div>

Q: Can I lay tile directly on a plywood countertop?

• <div><p>You can lay tile directly on a plywood countertop, but if it&rsquo;s a high-traffic surface in a kitchen, it&rsquo;s better to add a moisture-resistant base. Plywood is susceptible to moisture, so if dampness seeps through from the surface around the sink or where you prep food, it can cause the plywood to warp, leading to grout damage, cracked tiles, or mold growth under the surface. </p></div>
