My entire house is tile.
I hate it.
It is white 12" tile.... and it shows everything. It is probably the cheapest tile money could by. When it chips, it is pure black behind it. What is worse... it is cracking. My (slab) home foundation was repaired several years ago (piers surrounding entire home) which is common for this area of N. Texas. However, I still get movement in the foundation.... not a lot... but enough apparently to crack tiles. I probably have 20 tiles between the living room and kitchen that are cracked. Sometimes it is just one tile, sometimes it is several in a row, showing the movement pattern of the concrete I imagine.
I want to re-do the kitchen tile at some point.
My question is.... is there some solution for this movement problem? I dont want my re-do to crack. Do you change the thinset, add a subfloor, what? Surely this has to be a fairly common problem for some.
