Tile
NounSingular tile Plural tiles tile (plural tiles)
Derived termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A tile is a manufactured piece of hard-wearing material such as ceramic, stone, metal, or even glass. Tiles are generally used for covering roofs, floors, and walls, showers, or other objects such as tabletops. Alternatively, tile can sometimes refer to similar units made from lightweight materials such as perlite, wood, and mineral wool, typically used for wall and ceiling applications. Less precisely, the modern term can refer to any sort of construction tile or similar object, such as rectangular counters used in playing games (see tile-based game). The word is derived from the French word tuile, which is, in turn, from the Latin word tegula, meaning a roof tile composed of baked clay. Tiles are often used to form wall and floor coverings, and can range from simple square tiles to complex mosaics. Tiles are most often made from ceramic, with a hard glaze finish, but other materials are also commonly used, such as glass, marble, granite, slate, and reformed ceramic slurry, which is cast in a muld and fired.

Q. I am installing a T molding strip between 2 rooms, both of which have laminate tile. How tightly should the laminate tile fit to this strip. Do you leave the usual 1/4 inch expansion gap on both sides? Yes, at the threshold in a hallway.

Q. I have a ranch style home that was built in 1958. The bathroom is all original pink 4" x 4" wall tile, and ugly pink floor tile. We have read that we could just get a hammer and begin smashing until all the wall tiles are removed, and also do the same for the floors after the toilet has been removed. O.k., given that there will be a whole load of mess to clean up...what do we do next? The wall tiles emcompass the full permiter of the room and go up the wall roughly 4 1/2 feet. The upper portion of the wall is old drywall. If we remove all the tiles, will we able to use the base underneath the tiles to set new tiles.

I really recommend to remove the old board along with the tile, because when trying to remove the tile with any kind of tool you may damage the board especially if it is that old, and the USG green (or Georgia Pacific yellow) panels won't cost more than $8.00 or $20.00 respectively each 4'x8' board and are easy to install. Besides of the greenboard or yellow board you'll just need 1 1/4" screws (or 1 1/4" drill screws if installed on metal stud) drywall tape, Readymix compound and sand paper. For the floor applies a similar method, the only difference is that you'll need 5/8" plywood board or 1/2" durock board underneath the tile.
