Before you finalize that tile, try the tap test. If you hear a hollow sound after installation, it means air pockets were left during the laying process, which is a common recipe for cracks later. Always insist on proper notched trowel mortar application to ensure every corner of the tile bonds perfectly with the floor substrate, saving you from expensive repairs down the road.
