I have a 19 x 21 residential garage. I recently obtained enough ceramic tile to tile the entire floor. Prior to starting out I have a few questions from folks here who may have attempted to do the same.
1.) Is tiling a garage floor with ceramic tile a bad idea? If so why?
2.) If not a bad idea is there anything special to consider? The floor is over 3 years old and had very little traffic on it.
3.) I have an approximately 1"x1" expansion joint down the middle of the floor. I was planning on running the tile from the expansion joint to the side walls. However, I do not know what to fill in the expansion joint with? Do I use silicone caulk, thinset, or do I need to use a piece of the plastic substrate material? Sorry I cannot remember the name right now.
4.) If this works, how long should I let it set up prior to putting vehicles on it?
5.) Any thing else anyone can think that I need to consider prior to doing this. I want a decent job, and not something that will cause more problems than it is worth.
I thank anyone who provides any information and I apologize if this has all been covered recently. I have done multiple searchs on the idea and keep getting mixed opinions. Thanks again.
