Tile Repair And Removal Detroit

 Shower Tile installation in Detroit typically starts with a base of setting material, typically thin-set mortar or polymer-modified mortar, which is applied to the appropriate area and then takes a layer of the backer board. Some types of tiles can be laid on a dry surface without any setting material, but these types are not recommended for wet areas like showers. The tile is set into the adhesive with spacers between each tile to allow room for grout later on. After the tiles have been installed and allowed to dry completely, it’s time for grouting. Grout is a mixture of cementitious materials that comes in powder or liquid form and sets up when mixed with water (usually within 10 minutes). It’s used as an adhesive that fills in the gaps between tiles, providing additional strength to hold them together. Although there are many different colors available, most often tile installations will use white grout so that light reflects off it more easily than if using dark colors.
