Amy S asked:

So When installing ceramic tile, (ours is going to be porceline) is it best to put the heating system ounderneath? Do you really need it. I keep telling my parents to put it and they aren’t sure we really need it. I told them how my friend had it in her sunroom and they ended up pulling it all out a few years after to re-do it with the heating system underneath. What do you guys think? Also who would be installing it? Do you get an electrition or does the ceramic floor installer do it? Thanks!
I’m sorry I didnt word that correctly…my friend had ceramic in her sunroom without the heating system and they pulled all the ceramics out afew years after to re-do it with the heating system because they said it was too cold all the time..thats what im worried about..is it really cold all the time on the feet..I felt the ceramic tile we have piled ready to be installed and it doesn’t feel too cold, what do you think?

lovin life asked:

I love the look of ceramic tile in a kitchen but we live in an 80 year old house and do not want the weight and preparation of ceramic tile. Are there any products that look like tile but are more like the pergo type flooring? The kitchen floor buts up to wood flooring and I definitely do not want a wood type finish. I want something totally different.
THanks!

Brad G. asked:

ok, I am grouting my ceramic tile in my kitchen and I sponged the tile when I was done and waited for everything to dry. I buffed the dry grout off of the tiles and I noticed that there is dry grout on the tiles and I can’t get it off. Is there anything I can buy to take the grout off of the face of the tiles before I seal them? Please help.

I bought 12″ x 12″ ceramic tile from Lowe’s branded as SURFACE SOURCE with a PEI rating 4. I bought each tile for $0.58 each. I want to use the tile for the kitchen, bathrooms, laundry room and living room. The tile was made in Mexico. I think the tile was being discontinued at Lowe’s. Thus, I think that is why the price was so low. Did I make a mistake? The tile looks good and feels good so I do not see a problem with. I need an honest opinion.
I bought 900 tiles and have a 10%+ buffer.

Robert asked:

I was wondering if I could just put down ceramic tile over top of the cheap tile that is in my kitchen now. The cheap tile that now is on now is that kind which I believe has a sticky backing to it and is real flimsy.
I basically have no idea what I am doing. I saw at lowes a brand called “Edge Precision Tile”, that looks easy enough, does anyone have any knowledge or experience with this? Any help is greatly appreciated. Any web sites on how to tile a kithen would be handy too. thanks!

Yes, another question for my ceramics homework. I have no idea how this was made, wheel or hand…etc. It was made by Mary Ann Davis.
