Installing newly bought tiles is not as easy as ordering them, and as a home-owner, managing it yourself can turn out to be a total disaster if you do not know how to do it like a pro. Whether it is ceramic or full body vitrified tile or any other type of porcelain tile, keeping a few tips in mind and following the user manual is extremely necessary.
So, let’s take a look at some of those tips.
Companies offering floor tile in India say that preparing the Subfloor is crucial for the installation process. In the process, you need to make sure that the surface is even and devoid of imperfections.
Also, clean up any debris you spot on there. Patching with a waterproofing compound will be of great use to you most of the time. If the installation has to take place over wood, then the Subfloor must be a minimum of 1.5 inches thick.
Subfloor preparation also requires oil dusting, grease removal, and scraping.
As straightforward it may look at first, it is not and we can tell you that. Trying to measure the floor by yourself might lead to mistakes. Since a pro knows terminologies such as edges, angles, and floor inclination to name a few, it must be best left to one.
Getting accurate measurements of your floor is a crucial part of the whole process.
You must always choose tiles that are apt for your daily use. It goes without saying that tiles enhance the aesthetic as well as the material value of your home.
There are times when you get swayed away by fancy-looking tiles that are slippery and aren’t durable. What would happen if this room involved heavy use. The same applies if you have pets or kids in your house using that room for the majority of the time.
Whether you are using full body tile or ceramic tiles, you must choose the grout of the right color. Light and shadow must be taken into account here to come to pick the right grout.
Use your imagination to visualize what the final look would be like. Here it also becomes important to mention that the color of your wall tiles must be kept in mind while making a choice.
Use staggered layouts with continuous surfaces, and the distance between edges must be no more than 20 cm. If this sounds complicated to you, you are recommended to hire a professional to get the job done in a hassle-free way.
Setting tiles again requires professional expertise and consistent finger pressure to keep lippage at bay. This helps ensure that all tiles are set properly without any unevenness.
