FAQ

What is the best tile for a bathroom?

There isn't one universally best tile. Porcelain is a popular option because of its durability and low water absorption, but size, texture, slip resistance, maintenance, and where the tile is being installed all matter.

Is porcelain better than ceramic tile?

Not automatically. Porcelain tends to be denser and less absorbent, which can make it well suited to demanding applications. Ceramic can be an excellent choice for many walls, backsplashes, and other installations. The specific product matters more than the label alone.

What grout do you recommend for showers?

Toupin Construction specifies epoxy grout for showers, tub surrounds, and other wet floors because of its resistance to moisture and staining.

Why does tile crack?

Cracked tile can have several causes, including movement or deflection in the structure underneath, improper substrate preparation, impact, inadequate movement accommodation, or installation issues.

That's why determining why something cracked matters more than simply replacing the cracked tile.

Can you install large-format tile?

Yes. Large-format tile can create a beautiful, clean appearance, but it requires particularly careful surface preparation and installation

Can you install a curbless shower?

Yes, when the existing conditions and project allow it. Curbless showers require careful planning for drainage, floor height, waterproofing, and tile transitions.

Do you install LVP?

Yes. We install luxury vinyl plank and other flooring materials depending on the project and homeowner's needs.

Do you install hardwood flooring?

Yes. Hardwood and engineered wood are among the flooring options we work with.

Can you replace flooring during a whole-house remodel?

Absolutely.

In fact, whole-home remodeling can be one of the best opportunities to rethink flooring because we can plan transitions and continuity throughout the house rather than treating rooms independently.
