Why do bathroom tiles crack?

Usually because the substrate flexes — a cheap thinset over plywood that wasn't braced. We use uncoupling membranes (Schluter Ditra) that let the floor move without telegraphing to the tile.

Tile Installation
across the GTA.

Tile lives or dies in the prep underneath. We don't tile over flexing subfloors, soft thinset, or skipped waterproofing. The result: floors that don't crack and showers that don't leak through to the unit below.

Typical investment: $10–$25 per square foot installed (more for stone or custom patterns)
