| Q: Is tiling a good option for people with allergies?
A: Yes. Tile and natural stone are generally referred to as hypoallergenic. They are perfect for people with pet, dust and pollen allergies.
Q: Is natural stone hard to maintain?
A: It depends on the stone and where it is installed. Some natural stones require sealing every 3 - 5 years due to their porous nature. All natural stone should be cleaned with a pH balanced/neutral cleaner on a regular basis. Natural stone is unparalleled in look, touch and durability. The majority of end-users find the maintenance to be less than the other options on the market with a bonus of the added ambiance.
Q: What is the best way to clean tiles and their grouting?
A: It is important to use products that are "professional" not more expensive. They should be pH balanced and neutral. Not only do these products keep the project looking like new without harming the surfaces or eating away at the grouts, they have an added benefit of being enviornmentally friendly.
Q: What is the best way to take up single tiles to replace them?
A: The best way is to tape off the surrounding tiles. Score the tile to be removed, hammer it in the center and chip away at the tile from the middle out until you have removed all of the chips. ALWAYS remember to wear eye protection when removing tiles.
