Tile Installation

Tile is an extremely versatile surface covering that can be used over floors, ceilings, countertops, hearths, and shower and bath enclosures.

Applying Grout To Floor Tiles

The first step in grouting the new floor tiles was to remove the plastic spacers. These little X-shaped pieces are made from a soft, flexible plastic, so I discovered that the best way to remove them was to shove my needle-nose pliers into one edge.

Installing Resilient Floor Tile

Resilient floor tiles are a very popular choice for flooring primarily because it is a fairly straightforward do-it-yourself project. But resilient tiles have so much more to offer. Their flexibility makes them easier to walk and stand on for longer periods. They can also be a little more forgiving when dishes are dropped on them. They are long lasting and durable and come in a wide array of colors and patterns.
 

Installing Ceramic Floor Tile

Ceramic tile floors offer a very attractive and durable alternative to other floor finishes. They come in many different sizes and colors to match the décor of any room and they can provide years of maintenance-free use. Additionally, ceramic tiles are fairly easy to install.
