We have not picked out the tile yet, is one type better or worse/easier or harder to install?
Get a tile with a PEI rating of 3 or above. (PEI is a strength scale, 1 being wall tiles and 5 being tiles suitable for high traffic comercial use). You’ll need a wetsaw, 1/4 x 1/4 x 1/4 trowel, a grout float, sponge, tile spacers, kneepads, grout, mortar, sealer, grout haze remover, and some time. It’s really not that hard just time consuming. Grab a how to book at the local home improvement store. If you have any questions you can IM me too…happy to help out.
It’s terracotta tile, so it doesn’t wipe off as well as glazed ceramic. Without ruining the tile, can I sand it down? It’s just a few places, but it looks yucky.
Take an old fashioned blunt edged scraper (for removing paint, but not a razor blade type) and carefully scrape it down. Put tape on the tile first to protect it from the metal. If this doesn’t work, I’d say to carefully chisel it out and replace it (the grout).
Should the wall tile touch the floor? OR
Should I leave enough space for the floor tile to go under the wall tile? OR
Should they meet at each edge of the tiles?
I dont’ know the best way to do this? I’m tiling up the wall about 3.5 ft and laying a new tile floor.
Generally the floor tile goes under the wall tile. I would put the floor tile down first, then start the first course of wall tile with a special tile with a curve on the bottom, sort of a reverse bullnose, used for just this situation.
However you choose to do it, even just butting the wall tile to the floor, the gap will be less noticeable if the floor tile goes under the wall tile. You might consider caulking this gap instead of grouting it to prevent cracking as the floor flexes as well.
Good luck.
