You can drop a coin or use a hammer and tap on a tile. If there is a solid sound, it means there is proper adhesion but a hollow sound suggests hollowness. Just a couple of months back a funny incident happened with me. I was in my sister’s place and by mistake I dropped a few coins on the floor. I hurriedly picked them up but my husband asked me to drop a coin again on a particular tile. If you are looking for an answer to how to check for hollow tiles, this is the answer. Let me share more ways on how to check tile hollowness.

How To Check Hollow Tiles?
Here are some ways to check hollow tiles:
Visual Inspection:Examine the surface for any visible cracks, chips, or irregularities. Hollow tiles may show signs of damage.
Tap Test:Gently tap the tile with a wooden or rubber mallet. A hollow sound indicates a potential issue.
Listening Test:Listen for differences in sound while tapping. Hollow tiles produce a higher-pitched, echoing sound.
Water Test:Place a drop of water on the tile. If it quickly soaks in, the tile may be hollow. Non-hollow tiles will resist water penetration.
These are some effective ways to know whether a tile is hollow or not.
