Surface Preparation
Before any tiles are laid, surface preparation is crucial for a smooth and durable finish:
- Thorough cleaning of the base surface to remove dust, grease, and debris.
- Leveling uneven areas and repairing cracks or damaged zones to create a stable foundation.
- Application of primers or bonding agents when needed to ensure better tile adhesion, especially on tricky substrates like concrete or wood.
Material Selection and Layout Planning
We believe proper planning leads to superior outcomes:
- Assistance with choosing the right type of tiles based on area usage (e.g., anti-slip tiles for bathrooms, high-durability tiles for commercial areas).
- Planning the layout design, including tile orientation (diagonal, herringbone, or grid) and strategic cuts.
- Precision tile cutting for fitting tiles into corners, edges, or around obstacles like drains and fixtures.
Adhesive Application
The right adhesive technique ensures a solid foundation:
- Even application of tile adhesive or mortar using a notched trowel.
- Choosing suitable adhesives depending on the surface and tile type (e.g., waterproof adhesive for wet zones).
- Ensuring the correct thickness of adhesive for firm bonding and to prevent hollow spots under tiles.
Tile Installation
Our tile laying process emphasizes symmetry and quality:
- Laying each tile with precise alignment according to the approved layout plan.
- Using tile spacers to maintain uniform gaps for grout.
- Pressing and adjusting tiles to ensure proper contact with the adhesive and a level finish.
Grouting and Finishing
We finish with an eye for detail:
- Application of grout to fill joints evenly and securely.
- Careful cleaning of tile surfaces post-grouting to avoid haze or residue.
- Optional application of grout sealant for stain resistance and enhanced durability.
Quality Checks and Cleanup
We leave your space looking clean and complete:
- Final inspection to ensure all tiles are aligned, level, and securely installed.
- Rectification of any imperfections, loose tiles, or inconsistent gaps.
- Site cleanup and proper disposal of debris, leaving your space ready for immediate use.
Optional Enhancements
- Application of tile sealers for high-moisture areas or decorative stone tiles.
- Installation of borders, trims, or feature tiles for a customized, luxurious appearance.
