With my 30 years experience in the tile and stone industry I am able to troubleshoot many problems.

Something to think about when considering ceramic plank tile:

This is not the fault of the installer; the actual tiles are curved in the center, and when you stagger them above and below each other the curve is accentuated by the natural crown of the tile.
