Should I replace the toilet or tile first?

• <div><p>When working on your bathroom floor tiling, you should always tile the floor first and then refit the toilet afterward. This has both practical and visual advantages—the tile will have a better seal, and the installation will look cleaner.</p><p>On the other hand, when you try to cut the tiles to fit around the toilet, you’re putting yourself at a disadvantage. It’s a lot more work, it’s hard to be precise, and mistakes or miscalculations can lead to future moisture damage to the tiling, grout, and subfloor.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to have porcelain or ceramic tile?

• <div><p>Both porcelain and ceramic have pros and cons. Porcelain tile is generally more durable than ceramic because it is denser and harder. This makes it less likely to chip, but the hardness can make it slightly brittle. As a result, porcelain tiles are more likely to crack if you drop a heavy object. Ceramic is also generally more affordable than porcelain.</p></div>

Q: Is it normal for tiles to lift?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not necessarily normal for tiles to lift, although it&rsquo;s one of the common issues people may have with their tile flooring. Tiles correctly installed by pros with expansion joints should not lift over time. However, if the installation was done poorly, you might see tiles tenting or lifting as the house settles. This is more common in high-moisture areas with extreme temperatures. </p></div>

Q: What causes tile damage?

• <div><p>Impact, water infiltration, or shifting subfloors often cause damage. Regular inspections help prevent significant issues.</p></div>

Q: Will a cracked tile leak?

• <div><p>Yes, cracked tiles allow water to seep through the substrate or subfloor, leading to mold and mildew growth. It can also cause severe structural damage. At the very least, water damage can cause your tile to lift from the substrate, meaning one cracked tile can lead to several cracked tiles. It&rsquo;s a good idea to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/your-shower-tile-really-waterproof.htm">waterproof tile</a> in areas with direct water exposure or lots of moisture.</p></div>
