Location

One of the most important considerations for tile installation is the location of the tile. Tile can be installed in both indoor and outdoor locations, but it is important to choose a location that is suitable for the type of tile that you have chosen. Outdoor tiles must be able to withstand extreme weather conditions, while indoor tiles should be chosen for their aesthetic appeal.

Grout Selection

The type of grout that you select for your tile installation is also important. There are two main types of grout: sanded and unsanded. Sanded grout is made with sand and Portland cement, while unsanded grout is made without sand. Sanded grout is typically used for larger joints, while unsanded grout is better suited for smaller joints.

Surface Preparation

Another important consideration for tile installation is surface preparation. The surface on which the tile will be installed must be clean, level, and free of debris. If the surface is not prepared properly, the tile may not adhere correctly and could eventually come loose.

Sealant Selection

Finally, it is also important to choose the right sealant for your tile installation. Sealants help to protect your tile from stains and damage, and they also make it easier to clean your tile in the future. There are two main types of sealants: water-based and solvent-based. Water-based sealants are typically more durable than solvent-based sealants, but they can be more difficult to apply.

Easy to Clean

One of the primary benefits of tile flooring is that it is easy to clean. Tile is a non-porous material, which means that it does not absorb spills or dirt. As a result, tile floors can be easily cleaned with a mop and some soap.

Durable

Tile flooring is also very durable. Tile is a hard material that is resistant to scratches, dents, and stains. Additionally, tile floors are not susceptible to water damage, making them ideal for bathrooms and kitchens.

Aesthetically Pleasing

Tile floors are also very aesthetically pleasing. Tile comes in a wide variety of colours, patterns, and styles, so it is easy to find a tile that fits your taste.

Our Process

01

Floor Preparation: This is the first step in tile installation and involves preparing the floor for the new tile. This includes cleaning the subfloor, removing any old tile or adhesive residue, repairing cracks or holes in the base of the floor, and levelling out any uneven surfaces.

02

Layout & Measurement: The second step is to accurately measure and lay out where each piece of tile should go and draw a map on paper to represent it. This will help you determine how many tiles you’ll need as well as how much grout and sealant will be needed for your job.

03

Installation: Once all preparation is complete, it’s time to start installing your chosen tiles! Depending on the type of tile you’ve chosen, the installation will involve spreading adhesive for self-adhesive tiles or using a special trowel to spread mortar for other types of tile.

04

Grouting & Sealing: The final step is to grout and seal your newly installed tile. This involves applying a pre-mixed grout or mortar between each tile, making sure it is completely level and filling in any gaps or imperfections. You should then apply a sealant over the top of your finished tile job to protect it from moisture and dirt.
