1. Tile installation is the process of professionally placing tiles on walls, floors, or other surfaces. It involves preparing the surface, applying adhesive, positioning tiles, grouting, and sealing to ensure a durable and visually appealing finish. 2. What types of tiles can be installed? We can install a wide range of tiles including ceramic, porcelain, natural stone (like travertine, marble, slate), mosaic tiles, and large-format tiles. 3. How long does tile installation take? The duration depends on the size of the area, tile type, and preparation required. Small areas may take a day, while larger projects could take several days including curing and sealing. 4. What surface preparation is required? Proper surface preparation is crucial. This may include: Cleaning and leveling the substrate Repairing or replacing screed if needed Ensuring the area is dry and structurally sound 5. What is grout and why is it important? Grout is the material used to fill gaps between tiles. It helps stabilize tiles, prevent movement, and provides a finished appearance. Different types of grout (epoxy, cement-based) are used depending on the environment and desired finish. 6. What is waterproofing and is it necessary? Waterproofing is a protective membrane applied to prevent water from penetrating the substrate. It is essential in wet areas like showers, bathrooms, laundries, and balconies to prevent leaks, mould, and structural damage. 7. Can I walk on the tiles immediately after installation? Tiles generally need 24–48 hours for adhesive to cure and longer for grout and sealant. The exact time depends on the tile type, adhesive, and environmental conditions. 8. How do I maintain newly installed tiles? Regular cleaning with non-abrasive cleaners, prompt removal of spills, and periodic resealing of natural stone or grout will keep tiles looking new and extend their lifespan. 9. Can existing tiles be replaced without removing all tiles? Yes, individual damaged tiles can be replaced, but in some cases, full removal and reinstallation is required, especially if the substrate or adhesive has failed. 10. What if there are cracks or movement in the substrate? Substrate cracks or unevenness can cause tiles to crack or lift. These issues must be repaired before installation to ensure a long-lasting result. 11. Do you provide a warranty for tile installation? Yes, professional tile installation typically comes with a workmanship warranty. This ensures peace of mind in case issues arise due to installation errors.
