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: When should you not use large tiles?

• <div><p>There are no unbreakable rules of design, but experts recommend against using large tiles in areas with poor subflooring where they&rsquo;re more prone to cracking, in areas where the floor isn&rsquo;t entirely level, over raised areas or dips, and in bathrooms where budget is the primary concern. The size of your bathroom shouldn&rsquo;t be a reason not to use large tiles; in fact, larger tiles, also known as slab tiles, can be a modern and sleek choice for bathroom floors and walls.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to replace tile flooring?

• <div><p>Replacing tile flooring can take a few days for a pro, but larger rooms will need more time. It takes eight to 12 hours for a tiling pro to remove old grout and tiles across 100 square feet. Then, it will take about four hours to prep the subfloor for tiles and another eight to 10 hours for a pro to install new tiles. Your tiling project may take up to a week, depending on the size of the room. </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: Can tile installation be a DIY project?

• <div><p>Tiling can be DIY with the right tools and skills, but challenges like ensuring evenness and appropriate adhesion often warrant professional handling.</p></div>
