Frequently asked questions
Does tile hold up with Eastern Shore humidity and salt air?+
Tile holds up fine structurally, but grout staining and hard-water spotting show up faster than in drier or softer-water regions. Plan on more frequent grout sealing and consider a sealant upgrade. LVP handles humidity swings with less upkeep and is often the more practical pick for daily-use rooms in coastal Wicomico and Somerset homes.
