Ensuring a Smooth and Skillful Tile Installation
You have bought the most gorgeous tiles and are all set to get the floor of your dreams. Pause and count to ten. Getting the floor tiles installed correctly is as important as choosing the right tile because a shoddy job can mar the beauty of your very expensive tiles. Premium-quality tiles, along with correct application techniques and good workmanship, create floors that last. A good ceramic tile installation contractor is essential to ensure that the installation is done smoothly and skillfully. Here are some tips about things to look out for.
Check the tiles
Before the tile installation starts, check the tiles for any kind of damage, discoloration, or shade difference. Change the defective tiles immediately. Make sure that the contractor handles the tiles carefully to avoid any kind of damage. Additionally, keep one or two boxes of spare tiles in stock after the installation of the flooring, so that if there is any damage in the future, you have the exact tiles for replacement.
Set the Ceramic Tiles
Place the ceramic tiles on top of the thin set in a gentle manner. Push the tile down using your fingertips to firmly secure it in place. Spread the glue across the tile’s surface by twisting your wrist slightly as you do so. Begin in the center of the room and work your way outwards. To avoid lippage, use steady finger pressure as you go.
Tiling Floors
Find the center of the surface first to make your completed ceramic tile surface seem symmetrical. Then take measurements from both sides. If you’re tiling a tiny space, pay extra attention to this step since big tiles on one edge and thin tiles on the other will make the work seem unbalanced.
