"I called DeSol Power Tiles to work up an estimate and design for a solar tile system at my house. And also to get better informed with the solar process. The staff was amazing and knowledgeable and put my mind at ease about taking the next step in freeing myself from the utility companies. I loved the way the product looked because it was more a roof with solar panels built in rather than those ugly, large traditional solar panels and the design was different which I liked. I know solar if the future and I'm going to take the plunge with DeSol Power Tiles and I suggest if you are considering going "solar", you go with DeSol."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

Like glass tiles, you will not need to seal most porcelain tiles, particularly if the porcelain is already glazed. It depends on quality. Porcelain is very water resistant, but it is not 100% waterproof. To avoid staining, some homeowners use a penetrating sealer. It is also a good idea to seal your grout. Unless you use epoxy grout, grout is very porous and can harbor bacteria, mold, and mildew.

To ensure an even and unbending surface to lay tiles on, you’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’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. 

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.

Larger tiles can be difficult to install because they’re heavier and bulkier than their smaller counterparts, which makes them harder to haul around and put in place. Plus, if you don’t install the tiles correctly, they could crack or break. For these reasons, it’s best to hire a professional for large-format tile installation.

Installations typically take 1-3 days, depending on area size; repairs are usually completed sooner if the issue is localized.
