In reply to Mitch Andrews. Hello Mitch. If you look back at the article, there is a gallery with four images grouped together. One of them shows the edge of the tile by the garage door opening. At the edge of the tile is a transition piece called a Schluter Reno Ramp. You can see what one looks like here. It provides a great transition and protects the edge of the tile.

I agree that properly installed porcelain tile should not be a problem my only concern would be at the edge of the garage where the door is, it seem that this would be the weakest spot and would be prone to cracks. Did you use any type of saddle or other material as a solution to this potential problem?

In reply to Adam. Hi Adam. Unfortunately, we do not have a list of recommended installers. The best advice is start asking around. The various tile stores are a good place to start. They usually have a list of installers they recommend. Cost can vary widely from $1-4 a square foot depending on your area.

In reply to Jen. Hi Jen. Any PEI 4 or 5 rated tile that is laid correctly will work fine. However, you need to be careful with the long, plank-like tiles. Professional tile setters hate laying them because they tend to have a very slight bow due to how long they are. This creates lippage. This occurs when one side of a tile is slightly higher than an adjacent tile. It is very difficult to lay them without noticing this. The rectified plank tiles tend not to have a slight bow, but they are much more expensive. We would recommend keeping it down to 24" or less in length/width.
