Suggestions are offered to locate best price points for paint, wood and supplies for clean lines and an exciting finish. with a thoughtful review of what is most effective regarding the safety of home and what could potentially be hazardous. I have never found Falcon's suggestions to be anything but outstanding while their respect for our home improvement ideas was always what they worked to accomplish. They are talented. Becca Mick is a wonderful professional to work with and the Owner, Donald Grantham, is A+ in everything with respect to a home from carpentry, to electricity and plumbing, lighting, fixtures, decks, and heating, painting, and appliances Mr. Grantham did a couple times protect us from what may have become overextended and unnecessary interventions going on in the house at the same time he was working. He is always kind, professional, patient, and provides the highest quality work at the most affordable price that is competitive. Many times Falcon performed extra work that had been in need of repair for many months, and without a charge. I highly recommend this Donald Grantham and his group of talented professional people,"

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

The difference between floor and wall tiles is that floor tiles generally have higher strength and porosity ratings than wall tiles. Wall tiles are typically weaker and more likely to crack or become damaged under sustained pressure like high foot traffic. 

For this reason, avoid using wall tiles on floors and vice versa.

If you want your ceramic tiles to be evenly spaced and installation to take less time, spacers are a crucial part of the installation process.

Yes, it’s possible to cut tile without a wet saw; instead, you can use an angle grinder, a glass cutter, a snap cutter, tile nippers, or a rotary tool with a tile-cutting blade. A manual tile cutter or snap cutter works well for the larger tiles that wet saws are typically used for, while smaller projects might just require nippers or a glass cutting wheel. If you’re working with large quantities of tile, however, power tools are best.

The best trowel for penny tile is a 3/16-inch-by-5/32-inch V-notch trowel. Because of the small size of the penny tile, you want a trowel with small notches that can lay a thin layer of mortar on the surface you’re tiling. If the notches are too wide, you risk applying too thick of a layer of mortar, and it can squeeze out between the penny tiles.

Generally speaking, it is better to cut tile wet when using a fast-moving wet saw to reduce dust and chipping. However, tile can be cut dry when using just about any cutting tool. Dry cutting will result in a bigger mess and may increase the risk of chipping or cracking, but if you’re just making small cuts, dry cutting is a safe and viable option. Cutting dry also means you can apply tile grout sooner, so it’s better for rushed projects.
