Tile Flooring?
Jan 09, 2007 by Robert C | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)
Installing tile flooring in bathroom. Putting down 1/4 inch backer board. Won't thataffect how the toilet is installed. I mean I'll be adding about 3/4 inch flooring. Won't that be too much for the standard toilet wax ring, flange, etc. How do I make sure it'll work?
For the proper flange length, you'll need the total measurement from the tile surface to the inside shoulder of floor trap.
Install a new flange & wax ring and new flange bolts.
The original bolts have been cut to accomodate the current toilet height.
Water closet flange bolts are very long by default and are cut to the proper height after install.
TIP* Use a hacksaw to cut the flange bolts and masking tape or a piece of cardboard to protect the finish of your bowl.
Additionally, use caution when tightening bolts to avoid cracking your porcelan.
Remember to fill the decorative bolt covers with plumbers putty and set them over the cut bolt ends to complete the installation.

You can get wax rings that are taller than normal. Any home store shold have them.

use longer bolts and a plan wax ring on top of the flanged wax gasket. You should be ok.

Even though you will probably be o.k by just installing a tall wax ring - I would be inclined to install a flange extension for safety. You can pick up one for under two bucks at Lowe's or home depot - and they are snap to install. Basically all you have to do is run a thick bead of silicone on top of the existing flange and place the extension on top. When you re-install a new set of flange bolts, install an additional set of washers and nuts to firmly secure the extension. The wax ring and toilet may then be seated into place and secured by another set of washers and nuts. After installation is complete, get a hack saw and cut off the excess bolt above the nut and top off with caps.

Are there any types of flooring that can be installed over ceramic tile?
May 21, 2007 by face | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling
I am redoing my very tiny half bath that has tile flooring. I don't like the color of the tile(maybe hate is a good word) so it has got to go. Since the bathroom is so small, cost isn't an issue but time is. I want to know if there is any flooring that can be installed over the tile and be durable and lasting. Or am I going to have to rip it up? Thanks for your help!
My husband & I just recently had this EXACT issue! We completed the project about 5 months ago and it is doing fine. The solution? We purchased laminate flooring that required the underlayment foam-it's like a thin sponge that comes in a 100sf roll for about $25. We felt that the separate spongy layer would be a good barrier between the tile and the laminate. Some higher end laminates do not require the insulating layer; it is built in. I can't attest for whether that would work as well. The laminate we chose was a light oak and was only about $1.99 per sf. You can find products that cost even less and there are higher end products as well. We took the chance and went right over the tile with it. It looks great and it is our main bath so it gets used all the time - no problem with durability. The laminate comes in tons of designs from various woodgrain colors to tile looks and even slate looks. Ours blends with a new sink base. There are products with special profiles to handle doorways (saddles) so that the transition out of the bath works out for you. We too, dreaded ripping up the tile so this was a great fix with a wonderful result! Good Luck - we get lots of compliments on it!

Putting Ceramic Tile Flooring where vinyl was; does the floor have to be spotless?
Mar 24, 2006 by jtrosstexas | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling
the floor had vinyl tile and we want to put down ceramic. is it necessary to remove all the old masik/adhesive residue before we install the new flooring?
It is best to remove all reside. The important thing is that the floor is even and smooth so your tiles will be flush together. the hardest part is getting rid of the old floor. It is pretty smooth sailing putting the ceramic down. Really enjoyed doing mine. Just love it. Would never go back to vinyl.
Good Luck

How does one consider the estimate for bidding a job on laying tile flooring?
May 13, 2008 by donna D | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling
If there are any professionals out there reading this, I really would like to know how it is figured in the budget to bid a job on laying ceramic tiles for flooring. Do you bid by the tile, square footage of the room, etc.?
Does the size of the tiles matter or effect the price of the job? How do you figure for a hall way? Long or short. Thanks for your help in advance!
I had always by the s/f .. Custom work usually by the linear foot. (stripping for example ) Separate for the labor and what we called "prep materials" That is taxable labor is not.. So there should be a break down from labor and taxable items.. If you BALLPARK 15 $ a s/f it will give you a guesstimate and a guesstimate only .. Locations and tile prices cal vary a lot so use it as a general rule of thumb only.. Rip out and disposal are not figured in there either.. Hope this helps GL P S Always get quotes from regular businesses and check for licenses and insurances

I need to get some opinions about tile flooring?
Apr 06, 2007 by jennyh | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling
I almost bought porcelin tile but I know ceramic tile is much more popular, what about the endurance factor between the two? I want to get something that will last and still look good.Does anyone know about flooring, and could tell me which is best?
Porcelain is a more dense tile with less water absorption. I prefer porcelain over ceramic. In most cases when/if you get a chip in porcelain it is much more noticeable. In any case, your taste will most likely determine your choice. However, tile has ratings, i.e., 1 thru 5. 1 being less durable and 5 being most durable. 1's and 2's would be a wall tile and 3-5 would be a floor tile. Ask your supplier when you see something you like. If he doesn't know, go somewhere else.
