Q. I'm a budding mosaic artist and am in search of ceramic tiles of all colors (not just the black, blues and whites sold at Home repair stores). It doesn't matter if I have to order from out of state.
I have an endless array of glass/stain glass and don't need them.

How to remove the ceramic tiles on dry wall in the bath room?
Q. The walls in the bath room of my house are with different ceramic tiles. May be the previous owner changed the tub & the walls around it but not the walls in other parts of the bath room. I checked with the ceramic tile shops & am able to buy the same tiles as those around the tub. Is it advisable for me to remove the tiles on the dry wall beyond the tub & install matching new tiles without replacing the dry wall? How to remove the tiles? What details I have to pay attention to?
A. You can carefully remove the tile on dry wall by using a flat pry bar or wide flat chisel. Do not pry on the tiles you can go right through the dry wall. Get behind them and pull or use a hammer to get behind them with a flat bar or chisel and take them off.
You will pull some hunks and tear paper, most of these can be repaired and gone over with new tile. You ll have to do some patching and sealing of old paper ( just primer paint).
The other choice is to cut the dry wall out and replace with a 1/2" cement board, dry wall or a product called Denshield.
The use of a cement board or the Denshield is suggested if any of this area is in a water area.
Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar and check my qualifications there. GL

Is there anything special I have to use to clean ceramic tile floors?
Q. We just had a house built and never had ceramic tiles in any houses before. Is there anything that keeps them looking good and not dull.
A. There are cleaners you can buy from specialist tile retailers. Also, unless you have very dark grout, it may be worthwhile buying a grout cleaner as well (or grout sealer, which stops stains penetrating). Bear in mind that the glaze of ceramic tiles does wear over time - the amount of wear depends on their rating (the hardness of the glaze).
