Q: What tile is least slippery for a shower floor?

• <div><p>Natural stone floors, especially pebble-style tiling, are one of the least slippery options for a shower floor. Natural stone has a texture to reduce slickness, and pebble-shaped tiles add more visual and textural contrast while reducing slippage. Vinyl tiles are also designed with anti-slip texture for added safety. If you have a slippery tile, be sure to add a grippy shower mat to reduce the risk of falls. </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 put a new tile floor over an old tile floor?

• <div><p>Yes. You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-tile-over-tile.htm">tile over tile</a> if the old tile is in good shape, but this will also create a thicker floor. As a result, you may have to remove and readjust baseboards and other room trimmings and potentially even raise door heights to work with the higher floors. In most projects, it&rsquo;s best to remove the old tile before installing a new tile floor. </p></div>

Q: How much is labor to install a bathroom floor?

• <div><p>If you hire a professional to install a new floor, you can expect to pay between $50 and $75 per hour for labor. It takes two days on average to install a new floor as part of a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-take-remodel-bathroom.htm">bathroom remodeling project</a>, but your timeline depends on your bathroom&rsquo;s size and layout.</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>

"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me. Overall, they're good designs. However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning. I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging.
Jill was very responsive when I did have a question. I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done. If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs.
