Keep Small Tile Strips Away from Edge of Patio or Steps
A common problem in tile installation arises when small tile pieces are placed at the edge of a concrete walkway or patio. This can lead to tiles popping off due to pressure exerted on the edges. The creator suggests avoiding tiles smaller than 3 inches on edges to minimize this risk.
If small tiles are necessary, consider relocating them away from high-traffic areas or against walls. The video emphasizes the importance of proper tile layout and installation to prevent issues like this.
Bonus Tips:
When planning your tile layout, consider the size and placement of tiles, especially near edges and transitions.
Use high-quality adhesive and proper installation techniques to ensure a strong bond between the tile and the concrete.
If you're unsure about tile installation, consult with a professional tiler for guidance.
Regularly inspect your tile installation for any signs of damage or loosening, and address issues promptly.
Seal your tile grout to protect it from stains and moisture, which can weaken the bond between tiles.
