Tile Floor Installation in Kingsburg — FAQ

Ceramic vs. porcelain — what is the difference?+

Porcelain is denser, harder, and more water-resistant than ceramic. It costs more but is recommended for high-traffic areas and outdoor use. Ceramic is fine for walls and low-traffic floors.

How long does tile floor installation take?+

A typical 200 sq ft bathroom or kitchen takes 3–5 days including prep, tiling, and grouting. Larger areas scale proportionally.

Do I need to seal tile floors?+

Porcelain and glazed ceramic tiles do not need sealing. Grout lines should always be sealed to prevent staining and moisture absorption.

Can tile be installed over existing tile?+

Yes, if the existing tile is firmly bonded, level, and the added height at doorways is acceptable. Rough the surface with sandpaper and use a modified thinset for adhesion.
