        "text": "Installing floor tile involves removing old flooring, preparing and leveling the subfloor, laying mortar, setting the tiles, grouting, and sealing. Thorough subfloor preparation is the most critical step; an uneven or flexing subfloor can cause tiles or grout lines to crack over time. A professional installer evaluates whether your floor requires cement backer board, an uncoupling membrane, or leveling compound. Once the layout is measured and tiles are set in mortar, the mortar must cure before applying grout. Finally, grout lines are cleaned and sealed to protect against moisture and stains.",
