Here are Floor tiles practical tips!
There is one very easy and practical test if the floor tiles are installed properly. The test is to "knock" the tiles with a coin and if the sound is solid. It means the grout at the back of the ties are evenly placed.
The one-peso coin will be hard to handle so you can use either a 5-peso or 10-peso coin.
For large tiles, knock on them not just at the center but also in the edges since you have a lot of tiles to test, knock on the middle of the edges (that's 4 knocks already) then knock on the middle. It will not take you 2 seconds to test each tile. You can even teach your kids to help you! Its that easy!
How about the levelness of the floor tiles?
Just glide or skid your feet (with shoes..) across the tiles and if there is a a very noticable difference in the level or height of the edges, the tiles are not ok. determine which one of the tiles are either set too high or too low with respect to the other tiles. Remember my previous post on not rushing the installation of floor tiles? You cannot expect good results if you are the one rushing things.
I can help you with other tests like large slabs of granite or marble.. contact me anytime for any help i can give.
