Q: Can you put tile directly on drywall?

• <div><p>Yes, but you should only put tile directly on drywall in smaller areas that don&rsquo;t experience excess moisture. For example, a small kitchen tile backsplash could work, but installing tile directly on the drywall in a bathroom or other chronically damp area is not a good idea. Either way, a cement backer board is a far more reliable solution, as drywall is susceptible to moisture and can warp or cause your tiles to crack.</p></div>

Q: Should you keep spare tiles?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s always a good idea to keep a box or two of spare tiles after a home renovation project. Tiles can crack from improper installation, heavy foot traffic, and impact from drops. Having some extra tile on hand can make replacement fast, easy, and affordable. Plus, some manufacturers might discontinue particular colors or styles, and slight variations in tile colors between batches could mean mismatched tiles even if your product isn&rsquo;t discontinued. Having a few spare tiles in storage can help avoid these issues, as well.</p></div>

Q: Can you put hot pans on porcelain countertops?

• <div><p>You can put hot pans on porcelain countertops. Porcelain is highly resistant to heat&mdash;it&rsquo;s manufactured at around 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit, so it can withstand a ton of heat without cracking or damaging. Even though the high heat is a plus, you should still be cautious when putting hot surfaces on porcelain countertops. </p></div>

Q: What is the most durable tile for a shower floor?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re looking for a durable tile for a shower floor, consider porcelain, stone, or vinyl tiles. Each of these options, when installed correctly, will stand up well to everything from water and moisture to the impact from a dropped bottle of body wash. These materials are also easy to clean and maintain, making them popular options for shower floors. </p></div>

Q: What lasts longer: tile or laminate?

• <div><p>Tile will almost always last longer than laminate flooring, regardless of the type of tile installed. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-you-should-choose-tile-your-remodel.htm">Porcelain tile </a>can last for 75 years or more with proper care, and even less durable ceramic tile will last for 60 years or more, provided they&rsquo;re installed by a tile professional. On the other hand, laminate flooring has an average lifespan of around 20 years, and you might only get 10 to 15 years out of low-cost laminate flooring. As such, tile will add far more value to your home than laminate.</p></div>
