Q: What lasts longer: quartz or granite?

• <div><p>Quartz is more durable than granite, so it should last longer. However, it does have one weakness: It can be damaged by extreme heat, so exercise caution with cooking pans. Granite is durable, but it&rsquo;s also porous, which invites stains when liquids are left sitting on a countertop. With this in mind, clean up spills promptly and reseal the countertops every year. Beyond that, granite can be damaged by a high-impact blow. </p></div>

Q: How long will tile flooring last?

• <div><p>Tile flooring will last anywhere from 10 to 20 years and even up to 30 years or more with proper care and maintenance. </p><p>You can help your tile floor achieve a longer lifespan by maintaining it properly. This includes cleaning it regularly (including <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-clean-tile-and-grout.htm">cleaning the tile floor grout</a>), keeping the floor dry, and not setting super heavy items on it to keep it from cracking. You'll also want to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-regrouting-tile-flooring.htm">regrout your tile floor</a> every 10 years. Using a grout sealer will help your floor last longer.</p></div>

Q: Does a shower pan go under tile?

• <div><p>Yes, your shower pan goes underneath your tiling and helps prevent excess water from seeping into the floor. Without the shower pan under your tile, water will seep through the grout and into the flooring. This will eventually lead to mold growth and serious water damage that could cost thousands of dollars to fix. </p></div>

Q: What tiles are suitable for a fireplace hearth?

• <div><p>You can, in theory, tile your fireplace hearth with most tiles. However just because you can, doesn&rsquo;t mean you should. For example, it&rsquo;s much better to use unglazed tiles because glazed tiles are more resistant to cracking under extreme heat. Porcelain is more heat-resistant than ceramic, but you can still design the hearth as you like by putting the most heat-resistant tiles directly under the fire and, if it matches your style, add more decorative tiles further from the center of the fire. </p></div>

Q: How long can tile sit without grout?

• <div><p>You can let the tile sit without grout. Don&rsquo;t panic if there&rsquo;s a delay between installing the tiles and grouting. A substantial stoppage isn't a problem, provided you keep the tile surface clear of dust and debris. Also, avoid walking over less stable ungrouted floor tiles as they are more prone to premature cracking and shifting. </p></div>
