All floors and walls must be as flat, square and true as possible to acheive the best possible finish. We can apply a self levelling compound to your floor if required, this will level out the most uneven floors in preparation for tiling.

Tiled floors are not totally waterproof. However the use of a tanking system, as used in a wet room, will make your walls and floor waterproof. Alternatively, you can use a waterproofing spray over the tiles and grout after it has fully dried.

We can supply and fit your underfloor heating. Underfloor heating comes as either a heating mat or a loose wire system. You should always insulate under the heating element. This can be costly on concrete sub floors but will pay for itself in no time as with the insulation it will be very efficient to run.

Floor tiles come in many different sizes and are generally square or rectangular in shape. Floor tiles are getting bigger, and 600mm tiles are very common. Wall tiles come in many sizes and are generally square or rectangular in shape. They can be fixed in a square or diagonal pattern or in a brick bond style. Small 100mm square tiles are popular in kitchens and larger tiles more usual in bathrooms.

Border tiles are usually the same width as the tile, but not as tall, or you can use inlay strips which are up to 2500mm in length. Mosaics and glass tiles are also often used as borders, but tiles and inlay strips should all be the same thickness as your chosen tiles.
