Professional tile installation provides a permanent finish but its true quality is deeply influenced by the stability, permanence, and precision of installation of the backing or base materials. Evaluation of tile & stone work only by its aesthetic appearance is understandable when it comes to homeowners who have little technical knowledge, but truly professional tile contractors must rely upon much deeper criteria which is as simple as this, "Is the preparation and installation work done per the current industry standards?"
