Q: Why not use silicone instead of grout?

• <div><p>Silicone caulk shouldn&rsquo;t be used in place of grout because each material serves its own purpose. Thanks to its flexibility, silicone caulk is good for sealing around the perimeter of tiled floors, where movement and expansion might occur. However, grout is more durable, making it a better option for the joints in between tiles, which need to withstand constant weight and foot traffic.</p></div>

Q: How do I get uniform spacing between tiles?

• <div><p>Uniform spacing between tiles is important for a professional and clean appearance. To achieve this spacing, tile spacers should be placed between the tiles and left in place until the mortar hardens and the tiles are secure. You can use X-shaped spacers vertically in between the tiles and laid flat at the corners.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to use a shower pan or tile?

• <div><p>Deciding between using a shower pan or tile will likely come down to the shower&rsquo;s design. You can learn <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-install-shower-pan-liner.htm">how to install a shower pan liner</a>, but it has a standard look similar to most other showers, though there is some flexibility for material and color choices. Tile, on the other hand, can be customized and is set directly into the shower base. However, a shower tile floor is more difficult to install than a shower pan.</p></div>

Q: Does the floor have to be completely level for tile?

• <div><p>Your floors should be completely level for tile, otherwise you risk damaging the tiles in the future. When there are even small gaps or hills in the subfloor beneath the tile, this puts more pressure on the tile when you walk around on the floor. With repeated traffic, the tiles are at risk of cracking, and you&rsquo;ll have to deal with tile repairs sooner than if the floor was completely level.</p></div>

Q: How do you know how many boxes of tile you need?

• <div><p>The number of boxes of tile you need depends entirely on the amount of tile in each box or case. Different manufacturers package their tiles differently, and boxes contain different amounts of tile depending on the size, shape, and material. Often, the amount of area that a case will cover is listed in the product description. To calculate the number of boxes you need, take the total square feet of the space and divide it by the number of square feet the box will cover.</p></div>

"Zero problems and outstanding workmanship and material quality. Dean and Justin (son) are artisans working with Quartz and tile. Justin's idea on the backsplash tile layout was wonderful. Their pricing is in-line with several estimates I got from a local carpet, floor, and tile store in Roy Utah. I didn't go with them because their estimate did not include a sink, plumber, or backsplash and when that got included, the price was equivalent. The difference being I didn't know who would do the work. I met Dean and decided on the spot that he would do the work. He is a good and honest guy. You won't go wrong with him."
