Ceramic Tile Installation in Knox Dale, PA

Ceramic is softer than porcelain, absorbs more water and costs less. For an indoor floor that stays dry, a backsplash or a wall, it does everything that is needed and there is no reason at all to pay for porcelain.

Where it is the wrong choice is outdoors, in a freeze-prone space, or anywhere standing water is likely. Water absorbed into a ceramic body that then freezes breaks the tile from within.

Hardline Surface Co. installs ceramic across Knox Dale, PA and will tell you which of the two your room actually needs rather than defaulting to the more expensive one.

Check the PEI rating before anything else. PEI 1 and 2 are wall tiles. Putting a wall-rated tile on a floor means it wears through the glaze, and it is a common and completely avoidable error that shows up two years later.

Ceramic Tile Installation FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Ceramic Tile Installation

Questions we hear most often about Ceramic Tile Installation in Knox Dale, PA.

Talk to a real person
Can laminate go in a bathroom?
No. The fibreboard core swells permanently once water reaches it, and swollen laminate can only be replaced, not dried or repaired. Use sheet vinyl, waterproof LVP or tile instead.
Porcelain or ceramic, which should I choose?
Porcelain absorbs under 0.5% water and suits wet areas, exteriors and freeze-prone spaces. Ceramic costs less and is perfectly good for dry indoor floors, walls and backsplashes.
What is the PEI rating and why does it matter?
It rates a tile's surface wear resistance. PEI 1 and 2 are wall tiles, and putting one on a floor wears the glaze through. It is a common and completely avoidable mistake.
What is the difference between SPC and WPC core?
SPC is rigid and handles an imperfect subfloor better. WPC is softer underfoot and quieter. Since very few subfloors are genuinely flat, SPC is the safer choice more often than not.
Can you match my existing tile?
Sometimes. Discontinued lines are the usual obstacle and dye lots vary even within a current product. We will look before promising anything.
