Mold in a shower is frustrating. You scrub it. You spray it. You clean the grout. It looks better for a little while, and then somehow, it comes right back. That is why Ed’s answer in the video is funny — but also pretty honest. When people ask him, “How do I stop the mold?” […]

When people see a failed shower floor, they usually notice the obvious things first. The tile looks stained. The grout looks dark. There may be mold, mildew, or a smell that never quite goes away. From the surface, it is easy to think the problem is just dirty grout or old tile. But as Ed

Tile trends are funny. (Watch video) For a while, everyone wants the biggest tile possible. Large format, slab look, fewer grout lines, clean and modern. Then suddenly, the design world turns around and says, “Actually… what if we went tiny?” we get it! Micro tile and historic-inspired tile are making a comeback, and when they

On our latest set of Tik Tok reactions, Rob reacted to a video that talks about tile trends for 2026. And man, she went straight for the jugular! “if you’re still using 12×24 tile, you can keep scrolling.” OUCH!! White kitchens are out. Gray floors are out. Subway tile is out. And apparently, now 12×24
