Subfloors and slabs in Franklin: what they mean for tile
In a historic house the tile is chosen to suit the period — hex, subway, mosaic — and set with the substrate the old floor needs; the look is period, the waterproofing is modern.
Newer houses have plywood or OSB subfloors and fiberglass shower units, and the tile shower conversion is the common job; the substrate is usually sound and the waterproofing is the work.
Higher-specification bathrooms want large-format porcelain, natural stone and curbless showers, and the setter is chosen for that level of work and the flat substrate it demands.
The ground moves the floor — a slab that cracks with the clay, a crawl that flexes the subfloor — and tile over either is set on a membrane that absorbs the movement.
In a fast-built town the bathrooms have fiberglass units and builder-grade tile, and the tile shower conversion is the common job.

The tile problems we see in Franklin
Freeze-thaw matters on any outdoor tile or stone in Middle Tennessee. Material and setting products rated for exterior use are not optional here.
- Tiles that sound hollow when tapped
- A shower leaking into the ceiling below
- Edges you catch with a bare foot
- Stone that has stained and was never sealed
Skipping the uncoupling membrane. On a floor that moves, the membrane is what stops the movement reaching the tile. Without it the crack telegraphs straight through.
