Prioritize your tile top preparation through proper soil layer compaction, subfloor levelling, completing brick and plasterwork, and waterproofing to protect your tiles from water seepage and long-term deterioration.

Step No.3

Check that surface is smooth and structurally-sound before beginning tile fixing work, and ensure that the site has there is proper lighting and ventilation.

Step No.4

Tiles should be set at right angles and corners should not get bent. Prepare a ready mix cement plaster, in advance, by mixing water and mortar in a 1:6 ratio – follow this proportion to prevent cement joints from shrinking. Also, maintain minimal joints between two tiles and wipe off excess joints.

Step No.5

Tiles should be placed equidistant to each other.
Fill in joints with cement grout once installed.

Step No.6

Post installation, clean the tiling area with a wet mop and sweep the area post installation. Floors with newly installed tiles should remain untouched for at least a week post fixing.

Step No.7

Conduct tile fixing with proper supervision to prevent defects such as cracks, breaking, and de-bonding, which can later incur extra costs.Tiling expenses should ideally be covered in one stage of your homebuilding.
