Top tips
Take a look before purchasing
Take a measurement of the area you’re tiled to figure out the number of tiles you’ll require. The majority of tiles are sold in packs that are sized to cover one square one metre. If you’re tiling flooring take measurements of the length and width and then multiply it to get the square metres. For walls take the width and the height and then multiply these to create an area of square metres. If your wall is surrounded by windows, doors, or fixed cupboards, you can work out the areas of each by subtracting them out of the overall area. Purchase 5-10 percent more tiles than you require – this will allow for breaks and differences in shade. It is possible to return any unopened tiles as long as there is a receipt, and the return is within 30 days from the date of purchase.
Make sure the tiles are appropriate
If you’re planning to tile flooring, be sure the tiles are rated according to the wear rating for floor tiles (PEI score). It is important to not use floor tiles in the walls and ensure that the floor is able to support the load of tiles.
Are you ready to care for your tiles? Natural stone tiles require sealing after they’ve been laid and resealing each six-month period. Are you prepared to undertake? Before you purchase tiles, make sure to learn about any care and maintenance requirements.
Find the correct grout and adhesive
The kind of grout you’ll need will depend on the tiles that you’re using, your surface you’re tiling , and the space that you’re tiling So, always verify the label. Grout is also available in a variety of shades, so be sure that you purchase the color you’re looking for.
The same applies to adhesives. They must be selected with care, so be sure to read the label carefully to ensure it’s suitable for the tiles and surface. Dry adhesives that are quick drying are ideal for tilers with experience, however they may dry too fast for those who are new to tile.
Make sure the surface is clean prior to applying the tile.
Do you have a surface that is suitable to be tiled? Be sure to know this prior to commencing your project because tiled surfaces that are not suitable for tiling can create major issues. For instance, the surfaces in bathrooms must be waterproofed prior to being tiled.
Security is the most important thing.
Tile shards are just as sharp and sharper than glass and grouting and adhesives may be irritating to the skin, which is why it is essential to wear goggles, a mask for dust and gloves. If you’re grouting your flooring, you should wear knee pads.
Are you tying corners? Make sure to trimming
Create a neat finish around corners by using trim for tiles. The thickness of the trim you require is determined by the thickness of the tiles. The trim is available in various shades, so that you are able to match the colour with the grout and tiles.
