1. Where is porcelain tile best utilized?
Due to its durable nature, porcelain does well in high-traffic spaces, like kitchens, common areas, and bathroom. It is a go-to for a lot of designers and builders who seek to get the most bang for their buck – porcelain is as tough as it is pretty to look at.
2. What’s the best way to clean porcelain tile flooring?
It’s known for its “easy upkeep.” So, if you choose porcelain for your next project, you can do it confidently with the knowledge that it can be well-maintained with a simple broom sweeping or mopping session.
3. What’s a clean and tidy porcelain tile option that is versatile for any space?
During your hunt, filter your results to show only porcelain tile that is “rectified.” This type of design is perfectly squared, without the rough or “sandy” looking edges which results in less/barely-there grout lines. Although it is actually porcelain, it gives the effect of a smooth concrete floor.
4. How much does it cost to install porcelain tile flooring?
Like most design and build products, the cost of porcelain tile installation varies. There are a wide variety of options, but to keep this answer straight-forward, the cost ranges from $2.00 to $100.00 per square foot. Tile installation pro tip: get quotes from at least three installers before choosing the one that is right for you!
5. How are glazed and unglazed porcelain tile different?
The products themselves are pretty much the same, like a glazed or unglazed doughnut. The batter, the cake, and the shape are almost identical. The only difference lies on top (or not) of the product. Similarly (though less edible), glazed porcelain is created post-process to add color to the surface of the tile, as well as reduce the size of any porous parts. It makes the final product more glossy as well as a bit more slippery. Meanwhile, unglazed porcelain has color added during the process so that it is mixed all the way through the tile.
6. What are all types of finishes available?
The finish refers to the upper surface of the tile and can be polished, glossy, satin, matte or natural.
7. Can floor tiles be placed on walls? Or wall tiles on the floor?
In most cases, wall tiles aren’t appropriate for the floor, for a variety of reasons. They may be more slippery or less water-resistant than a floor tile needs to be. Although most wall tiles can’t be used on the floor, most floor tiles can be used on the wall, as long as the wall can bear the weight of the tile. It is best to seek a recommendation from a master or product manufacturer.
8. Can I place tiles on existing tiles?
Usually, yes, but only if the surface below is placed correctly and is not broken. But this is generally not the smartest option, as you may have higher costs later. Keep in mind that the height of the room will be slightly reduced and you will have to change how the door open.
9. What’s the best tile for the job?
If you’re not sure whether the tiles you like are suitable for what you have in mind, just ask us for advice. It’s especially important to get the right kind of tile if you’re using it as a floor covering as some may not be strong enough to sustain a lot of foot traffic. There are also two different types of tiles – ceramic and porcelain. Porcelain tiles will cost a bit more, but if you want them to last for years, possibly decades, the extra investment may well be worth it.
10. What colour tiles should I buy?
Well, there’s no way we’re going to tell you what your favorite colour is, but there are a few basic rules when it comes to clever use of colour. If you have a small room or a room that doesn’t get much daylight, using lighter coloured tiles will help to make the space look bigger. Conversely, darker coloured tiles will add a cozier feel to a room.
11. What size tiles should I buy?
You can also use the size of the tiles themselves to help make a small room look bigger or a large room look smaller. It may seem counter intuitive, but using large tiles in a small room (such as a wet room or small bathroom) will make it look bigger – with fewer grouting lines, the eye has less to focus on, giving the optical illusion that the space is bigger than it actually is.
12. What adhesive do I need?
The type of adhesive you need depends on what kind of surface you’re planning to use it on and if you want to lay floor tiles over underfloor heating. Always ask our sales advisors for help as getting it wrong could end up being a very costly mistake.
13. Do I need special tiles for a wet room?
You don’t need special tiles for the walls of a wet room, but for safety’s sake, it’s always a good idea to use textured tiles for the floor – smooth tiles will be too slippery. Ask an advisor about the best ones to use.
14. What kind of grout do I need?
Grouting comes in a range of colours and types, so ask about the best one to use to create the effect you’re going for.
