Tile Installed with Clean Lines and Durability

Tile installation services in Denver for kitchens, bathrooms, showers, and floors.

If your shower grout has darkened in spots or the floor tile feels loose underfoot, those issues usually trace back to poor substrate prep or incorrect adhesive. Blanks Construction LLC installs tile in Denver homes with attention to layout, spacing, and waterproofing so the finished surface looks clean and holds up to daily use.

The process begins with preparing the surface—whether that means installing cement board in a wet area, leveling a concrete slab, or reinforcing a subfloor to prevent flexing. Tile is then set with thinset mortar applied in consistent ridges, and spacers keep the grout lines uniform. Once the adhesive cures, grout is worked into the joints and wiped clean before it hazes over.

What separates tile that lasts from tile that fails

Tile installation in Denver starts with evaluating the surface where the tile will go. In wet areas like showers, a waterproof membrane is applied over cement board to stop moisture from reaching the framing. On floors, the subfloor is checked for deflection—if it flexes too much, the tile will crack at the grout lines no matter how well it's set.

Once the tile is installed and grouted, you'll notice straight grout lines with consistent width, corners that meet without lippage, and a surface that feels solid when you walk or press on it. Water beads up on sealed grout instead of soaking in, and there's no hollow sound when you tap the tile, which means it's fully bonded to the substrate.

Blanks Construction LLC works with ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone tile in a variety of sizes and finishes. The service is commonly paired with bathroom remodels, kitchen backsplashes, and basement flooring projects, and is available throughout the surrounding area in Lancaster County.

Questions people ask before tile goes in

Before starting a tile project, most homeowners want to understand why some tile jobs fail, how long the work takes, and what kind of maintenance the finished surface will need.

What causes tile to crack after installation?
Cracks usually happen when the subfloor flexes or the tile is set over a surface that moves with temperature or moisture changes. Blanks Construction LLC reinforces floors and uses the right backer material to prevent movement under the tile.
How do you keep grout lines straight and even?
Tile spacers are placed at every corner during installation, and the layout is dry-fitted before any mortar goes down. Starting with a level reference line keeps the pattern from drifting across the room.
Why does shower grout turn dark or crack over time?
That usually means water is getting behind the tile due to missing or failed waterproofing. Proper membrane installation and sealed grout prevent moisture from reaching the substrate and causing mold or deterioration.
When should you use large tile versus small tile?
Large-format tile covers more area with fewer grout lines, which works well on floors and modern bathrooms. Smaller tile handles curves and slopes better and provides more traction in wet areas like shower floors.
How long before you can use a tiled shower?
You need to wait at least 48 hours for the thinset to cure before grouting, then another 24 to 72 hours before using the shower. Blanks Construction LLC schedules the work so curing times don't hold up the rest of your remodel.
