Frequently Asked Questions: Installing SnapStone® Porcelain Tile in Bathrooms


How do I cut SnapStone® tile around the toilet flange?

When cutting around the toilet flange, use a 4" angle grinder with a porcelain tile blade. Be sure to follow all safety rules.

Do I need to remove the toilet or can I cut around it?

The toilet will need to be removed before installing SnapStone tile. It is important to leave an expansion and fill the area around the flange with sealant before resetting the toilet.

Do I need to fill in the gap along the edge of the bathtub?

Yes. This should be filled with a quality silicon sealant to guard against water getting under the floor.

I'm installing SnapStone tile in my bathroom. Do I need to fill in the ¼" gap along the perimeter?

Yes. Since a bathroom is a higher moisture area, the perimeter should be filled with a quality silicon sealant to guard against water getting under the floor.
