Barbara L asked:


I want to lay a mosaic tile floor in my kitchen (which has asbestos tiles) and continue into my dining room (which has an already existing tile floor). There is about an 1/8″ difference between the two floors (one leading into the other). What is the best prep before I begin?

Wanderer asked:


I am having a bathroom remodeled and the contractor that did the ceramic floor, put down wood baseboards and then durock before installing the ceramic tile. He then grouted everything, but he didn’t grout or do anything around the edge of the bathroom where the floor meets the wall. When I asked about this to another of the contractors, he said that that area would be covered with the shoe molding and didn’t need to be grouted. Is this true. Is this common practice or should the very edges of the rooom be grouted too or caulked or something. Is this just a matter of preference among contractors or did they miss a step?

Babydoll asked:


Should the wall tile touch the floor? OR
Should I leave enough space for the floor tile to go under the wall tile? OR
Should they meet at each edge of the tiles?

I dont’ know the best way to do this? I’m tiling up the wall about 3.5 ft and laying a new tile floor.
