Question 1

Accepted Answer

Question 2

What tile is best for floors in Georgia?

Accepted Answer

Porcelain tile is the best choice for Georgia floors. It's denser than ceramic, highly water-resistant, and withstands temperature changes. Large-format porcelain tiles (12×24 or 24×24) create a modern look with fewer grout lines. Natural stone adds luxury but requires sealing.

Question 3

How long does tile installation take in Athens?

Accepted Answer

Tile floor installation in Athens takes 2–4 days: 1 day for subfloor prep, 1–2 days for tile setting, and 1 day for grouting and curing. Shower tile projects take 3–5 days due to waterproofing and drying time between stages.

Question 4

Should I choose ceramic or porcelain tile?

Accepted Answer

Porcelain is harder, denser, and more water-resistant than ceramic — making it better for floors, bathrooms, and outdoor use. Ceramic is more affordable ($6–$10/sq ft vs $8–$15/sq ft) and sufficient for low-traffic areas. For whole-home flooring, porcelain is the recommended choice.

Type	Cost	Durability	Best For

Ceramic Tile	$6–$12/sq ft	30+ years	Low-traffic areas
Natural Stone	$15–$20+/sq ft	100+ years	Luxury floors, entryways
