Q: What tile spacing should I use?

• <div><p>The tile spacing you should use will depend on the tile and where you&rsquo;re installing it. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/choosing-bathroom-floor-and-wall-tile-spacers.htm">Choosing the right tile spacers</a> to maintain a consistent gap between your tiles is tricky. Generally, tile spacing shouldn&rsquo;t be less than 2 millimeters on walls and 3 millimeters on floors because of stress relief requirements. Getting it wrong can result in uneven tiles and early repairs.</p></div>

Q: Does tile paint peel off?

• <div><p>Like any painted surface, tile paint can peel and chip over time. However, tile paint can become especially susceptible to peeling during periods of high humidity. Other sources of excess moisture will also cause tile paint to peel faster than normal. And if the tiles are in a high-traffic area, like the entryway floor, tile paint will chip and peel faster.</p></div>

Q: Do you use sanded or unsanded for glass tile?

• <div><p>For glass tile, you want to use unsanded grout. Sanded grout is a stronger and grittier cement grout that is great for installing tiles with wider gaps and into joints. However, it is susceptible to scratching glass tile and is more difficult to use in thinner gaps. Unsanded grout, while more expensive, is easier to fit between thin gaps and is less harsh on delicate materials, like glass tile.</p></div>

Q: What can I use instead of tile spacers?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re out of spacers for your tile installation, you can use pennies. Each time you place a tile, stick the pennies around the edges (on the sides and the corners). Like working with spacers, you&rsquo;ll want the same amount of space around each tile before they set. </p></div>

Q: How long do painted tiles last?

• <div><p>How long painted tiles last ultimately comes down to the quality of the paint job and how much wear and tear the tiles get. It&rsquo;s possible the paint job will only last about six months if the tiles are in a high-traffic area and they weren&rsquo;t properly cleaned, sanded, and primed prior to painting and sealing. Well-painted tiles in a low-traffic area should last at least a year.</p></div>

Jason installed my gutters 8 months ago and did a fantastic job. I needed one of the corner downspouts to be turned a different direction. He came out and did the work within a couple of days at no charge. I don’t know why you’d anyone else besides Free Flow Gutters.

JB Lawncare and Construction mounted a mantel for me over an electric fireplace. The installation was quick and very professional. They were able to fit me in very quickly on the day I made the inquiry. I will definitely hire them again for any projects that may come up in my home. Thank you so...
