TILE INSTALLATION AND MORE......TOOLS

How do you purchase tile to prepare for your installation?

Tile is purchased by the square foot. Therefore, calculate the area you plan on renovating to have an idea of how many tiles you will be needing to order. We advise ordering anywhere between 10-15% of additional tile that goes to waste, cuts, and other miscellaneous uses.

Here are some basic and key things to know about installing tile floors:

Three main categories: Porcelain, Marble & Ceramic
Porcelain and marble installation is basically the same
Ceramic is different and easier to install in most instances
Installing in walls requires some tile backer board and stronger adhesives
You will need to purchase thinset & mortar mix for porcelain and tile installation
Ceramic tile usually only needs thinset for installations
For the wall, mastic is your typical adhesive
Grout is used in between the tiles to close gaps, block liquid seepage or penetration
Baseboards will most likely need to be replaced during the renovation of floors. It can cost you anywhere around $3-5/sqft to have them installed.
