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>

Q: Does painting shower tile last?

• <div><p>No, painting shower tile doesn&rsquo;t last and is better reserved as a temporary solution to refreshing the look of old tiles. Shower tile paint may last around one to five years, depending on how well you prep the surface before painting, the type of paint you use, the type of tile in your shower, and how often you use the shower.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to install 1,000 square feet of tile floors?

• <div><p>For professional labor and materials, it would cost between <b>$6,000 and $28,000 </b>to install 1,000 square feet of Saltillo tile flooring. If that&rsquo;s out of your budget, you could consider laying the tiles yourself or choosing a less expensive type of flooring. For example, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-installing-vinyl-or-linoleum-flooring-cost.htm">vinyl flooring costs</a> just $2 to $7 per square foot, so for a 1,000-square-foot space, you&rsquo;d pay $2,000 to $7,000.</p></div>

Q: What causes tile damage?

• <div><p>Impact, water infiltration, or shifting subfloors often cause damage. Regular inspections help prevent significant issues.</p></div>

Q: How do porcelain tiles compare to ceramic tiles?

• <div><p>Porcelain and ceramic tiles are made from clay, but porcelain tiles are fired in a kiln at a higher temperature. This makes them more durable, but it also means porcelain is more expensive than ceramic at <b>$3 to $5 more per square foot</b>.</p><p>Even with the higher price point, many people choose porcelain over ceramic because there are more color and design options.</p></div>
