Top tips
Check the measurement prior to buying
The area you’re planning to tile should be measured 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 tiled floors you should measure the length and width, and then multiply it to get the square meters. If you are building a wall you should measure the width as well as the height, then multiply these to create an area of square metres. If the wall is lined with windows, doors or fixed cabinets, map out their dimensions then subtract these from your total. Purchase 5-10 percent more tiles than what you’ll need to allow for any damages and also variations in shade. It is possible to return any unopened tiles as long as your receipt is in place, and the return is within 30 days of the 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). Be sure to avoid using floor tiles in the walls and make sure the floor can withstand the combined loads of tile.
Are you ready to care for your tiles? Natural stone tiles require sealing before they’re laid, and resealing at least every 6 months. Are you prepared to undertake? Before purchasing tiles, you should take the time to learn about any care and maintenance requirements.
Make sure you buy the correct grout and adhesive
The type of grout you require depends on the tiles that you’re using, your surface that you’re tiled on and the area that you’re tiling So, always verify the label. Grout also comes in various shades, so be sure that you purchase the color you’re looking for.
The same applies to adhesives. They must be picked with care, and be sure to read the label carefully to determine if it is suitable for the tiles and surface. Dry adhesives that are quick drying are ideal for tilers who have experience, but may dry too fast for novices.
Make sure the surface is clean prior to applying the tile.
Do you have a surface that is suitable to be tiled? Check before commencing your project because the tile you apply to an unsuitable surface could result in major problems. For instance, bathroom surfaces must be waterproofed prior to being tiled.
Safety is of paramount importance
Tile shards are more sharp than glass and grouting adhesives can cause skin irritation, so it is essential to wear goggles, a mask for dust and gloves. If you’re tiled on a floor, make sure you wear knee pads.
Are you tying corners? Do not forget to trimming
Create a neat finish around corners using trims for tile. The thickness of the trim that you want depends on the thickness of the tiles. The trim comes in a variety of colors, which means that you are able to match the colour with your grout and tiles.
