What's different about tile setting in Raleigh

Raleigh’s July normal average high and low are 90/70°F, and annual normal precipitation is 46.07 inches, so shower waterproofing, drainage details, and adequate cure time deserve attention. Tile floors may need subfloor leveling, while showers need added waterproofing and cure time; typical tile-setting work takes 1–3 days. In Downtown Raleigh, Five Points, and Oakwood, ask the installer to assess the existing floor or wall condition before setting tile.
