Derived termsRelated 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.

GNU Free Documentation License What plastic edge trim to use when tiling over existing tile? Q. Can anyone comment on what plastic edge trim I should use when tiling over existing tile that already has a plastic edge trim? Is there any specialty trim that would cover the existing trim and the edge of the new tile (being laid over the old tile)? Thanks, PJ. Asked by Paul J - Tue Feb 12 19:25:04 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. I have never heard of anybody tiling over existing tile. That is just plain wrong. When the old mortar wears off, both layers will pop loose. Unless there is damn good reason why you are doing it like that, I suggest you go do it right. Remove the tiles, replace the subfloor and retile again. I don't know what else to advise you! Answered by Moe A - Tue Feb 12 20:17:48 2008 How do I lay linoleum over old ceramic tile in a bathroom? Q. It's old old old tile... the grout in between the tiles is almost level with the top of the tiles...and there is not much texture at all either...could I just use a spray adhesive and caulk/seal the outside edges?? We're not planning on being here much longer...and I don't want to ruin the tile should the next owners decide they'd rather have that... Thanks for the help!

As far as I'm concerned, tile is ALWAYS preferrable to linoleum, unless the tile is cracked, badly chipped, and/or stained. If the tile is just grungy, clean up the grout and re-seal it so that it looks better. The new owners will probably thank you for it -- plus, if they decide they want to replace the flooring, the job will be much easier for them. Answered by Janade - Tue Apr 24 18:37:30 2007 Will ceramic tile add that much height to my bathroom that I will need to install 2 wax rings?
Q. I'm replacing my floor in my bathrooms. It is the cheap stuff, currently linoleum (?). I don't know what it is, but the ceramic tile is thicker and I'm wonder if there are any good resources out there that explain what to do in this case. I'm replacing my linoleum tile with ceramic tile. Thanks. Asked by JMU Alum - Tue Mar 4 16:06:14 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. I tile everyday of my life as well as do bathroom remodels, REMOVE the current flooring. Tile and thinset add less that 1/2 inch in height, and the toilet drain situation can be dealt with, with a new wax ring with an extended rubber flange embedded. I also remove cove base, to replace after Steven Wolf Just my two "sense" Answered by DIY Doc - Tue Mar 4 16:22:04 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "tile" See also:
