Q: Is porcelain less expensive than quartz?

• <div><p>Porcelain countertops are slightly more affordable than quartz. Most <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-do-quartz-countertops-cost.htm">quartz countertops cost</a> $50 to $200 per square foot, whereas porcelain typically costs $50 to $70 per square foot. However, lower quality builder&rsquo;s grade quartz is similar in price to porcelain. This type of quartz contains more resin and fillers, making it less vibrant. </p></div>

Q: Where do you start tiling a hearth?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s easiest to start from an edge as it gives you a straight line. A problem may arise if your edge doesn&rsquo;t line up perfectly, in which case it&rsquo;s best to start from the center. Some think that starting tile from the center adds a focal point in the center of the hearth. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take to tile a shower?

• <div><p>Most professional shower tile installations take between six and eight hours, depending on the size and complexity. Most projects get completed in a single workday. DIY-ing the project takes around three to four days or roughly 16 hours. However, this will vary based on the skill level of the person completing the work.</p></div>

Q: What should you avoid with porcelain tiles?

• <div><p>When cleaning porcelain tiles, avoid products that contain ammonia, bleach, and other harsh chemicals. Acid-based cleansers can damage the tile, though you can clean them with a diluted mixture of one-quarter cup white vinegar mixed with one gallon of hot water. It is important always to use a soft-bristled brush or sponge, since hard bristles and steel wool can scratch the tile.</p></div>

Q: How much backsplash tile do I need?

• <div><p>Figure out how much tile you need by <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-measure-for-backsplash.htm">measuring the backsplash area</a>. Measure the height and length in feet and multiply to get the square footage. Don&rsquo;t make adjustments for outlets or small cutouts but subtract the square footage for windows or other large obstructions from the total.
