What is the best base for tile countertops?

• <div><p>Installing kitchen countertop tiles on a mold and moisture-resistant cement backer board is one of the best options. When fitted correctly on top of a plywood base, it’s stable and long-lasting. Old-fashioned cement board is economical, cuts neatly and easily with a circular or jigsaw, and screws into plywood without any difficulty.</p></div>

Q: Why should tiles be installed or repaired professionally?

• <div><p>Professional installation ensures a uniform, durable surface, and proper sealing, and guarantees workmanship quality, preventing future issues linked to water damage or instability.</p></div>

Q: What tile spacing should I use?

• <div><p>The tile spacing you should use will depend on the tile and where you&rsquo;re installing it. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/choosing-bathroom-floor-and-wall-tile-spacers.htm">Choosing the right tile spacers</a> to maintain a consistent gap between your tiles is tricky. Generally, tile spacing shouldn&rsquo;t be less than 2 millimeters on walls and 3 millimeters on floors because of stress relief requirements. Getting it wrong can result in uneven tiles and early repairs.</p></div>

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: What tiles are suitable for a fireplace hearth?

• <div><p>You can, in theory, tile your fireplace hearth with most tiles. However just because you can, doesn&rsquo;t mean you should. For example, it&rsquo;s much better to use unglazed tiles because glazed tiles are more resistant to cracking under extreme heat. Porcelain is more heat-resistant than ceramic, but you can still design the hearth as you like by putting the most heat-resistant tiles directly under the fire and, if it matches your style, add more decorative tiles further from the center of the fire. </p></div>
