Frequently asked questions

Does tile hold up with humidity in Metro Indianapolis?+

Tile holds up fine, but grout stains and mineral residue on metal trim show up faster than in soft-water regions. Plan on more frequent grout sealing, and consider a protective floor finish or a textured/etched panel if you go frameless. LVP flooring hides humidity residue better.
