Q: What’s the difference between floor and wall tile?

• <div><p>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. </p><p>For this reason, avoid using wall tiles on floors and vice versa.</p></div>

Q: What is the best tile for a shower floor?

• <div><p>Glass, ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone are all excellent choices for tiling a shower floor. Some glazed finishes can be slippery when wet. Your tiling contractor can provide more information on which tiles will work best for your shower floor.</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 is the life span of porcelain countertops?

• <div><p>Porcelain countertops have a fairly long life span, sometimes lasting for decades. Depending on how much wear and tear you put your countertops through, it could last 25 to 50 years. But be warned, porcelain is also prone to cracking, so as long as you take good care of it, you&rsquo;ll have those countertops looking brand new for years to come.</p></div>

Q: What tiles should not be used on a shower floor?

• <div><p>When choosing tiles for a shower floor, avoid highly porous tile materials, like those with a water absorption rating over 7%. Don&rsquo;t use non-vitreous tiles, or tiles fired at low temperatures, because they will absorb more water. If you use a highly porous tile in the shower, the tiles can wear down faster, meaning they&rsquo;ll need to be replaced much sooner. </p></div>
