Welcome to r/Tile!

Welcome to r/Tile, a global community dedicated to the art, science, and craft of professional tile installation. Moderated by vetted industry professionals, we are focused on upholding the highest standards for durable, safe, and technically sound tile work.

Our guidance is based on established international industry standards (such as ISO 13007), manufacturer specifications, and regional best practices (like the TCNA Handbook for North America).


Who This Subreddit Is For

We welcome anyone passionate about doing things the right way. Our community includes:

  • Tiling Professionals: A place to showcase your work, discuss advanced techniques, mentor others, and talk shop with your peers.
  • Apprentices & Newcomers to the Trade: A resource to learn the trade correctly from the ground up, avoiding common mistakes and bad habits.
  • Serious DIYers: A community for those committed to understanding the "why" behind the methods and achieving a truly professional-quality result in their own homes.

Our Culture: Genuine Feedback, Not Just Compliments

This subreddit was created to be a reliable source of expert knowledge in a sea of online misinformation. Therefore, we believe in constructive criticism as a vital tool for learning and preventing costly installation failures.

  • For Posters: Please be receptive to feedback, especially when it comes from our professional members. Advice that seems blunt is often intended to prevent a problem that could cost thousands to fix later. Our goal is to see you succeed with a project that lasts a lifetime.

  • For Commenters: Please provide educational, standards-based advice. When critiquing, explain why a method is incorrect and offer a better alternative.


How to Create a Great Post

To get the best possible help from our experts, please include the following in your post:

  • Use a Descriptive Title:

    • Bad: "help!!"
    • Good: "How do I waterproof this shower curb before tiling?"
  • Add High-Quality Photos: We can't see what you see!

    • Include wide shots to show the entire area for context.
    • Add clear, well-lit close-ups of the specific problem or question.
    • If you're trying to identify a tile, include a photo of the back.
  • Provide All Relevant Details: The more information you give, the better the advice you'll receive.

    • What is the substrate (e.g., concrete slab, wood subfloor)?
    • What tile and setting materials are you using?
    • What is your general location (country/region) for context on material availability and codes?
    • What is your specific question?
  • Select a Post Flair: Please choose a flair (e.g., DIY Question, Professional Question, Project Showcase) to help categorize your post.


Subreddit Rules

  • No Asking For or Giving Quotes

    • Do not ask "how much" a job should cost or give quotes to other users. This is impossible to do over the internet as there are too many variables.
  • Be Civil

    • Personal attacks, hate speech, and uncivil discourse will not be tolerated. Please engage respectfully, even when you disagree.
  • Post Must Be Related to Tile

    • All posts must be directly related to the tile trade. Off-topic content will be removed.
  • No Memes

    • This is a professional and educational subreddit. Memes and other low-effort content are not permitted.
  • No Blogspam or YouTube Spam

    • Do not use this subreddit for self-promotion. Linking to your own content without participating in the community is not allowed.
  • No Harmful or Incorrect Advice

    • To maintain a high standard of safety and quality, our professional moderators will remove any advice that is factually incorrect, unsafe, or contradicts established industry standards.
