Services / Tiling
Bathrooms and wet rooms, tanked first and set out so the cut tiles land out of sight.
Tiling for bathrooms and wet rooms. What is behind the tile is checked and made good first, and anything that gets wet is tanked before tiling starts.
The tiling is set out before anything is fixed, so the full tiles land where they are seen and the cuts go where they are not. Then it is fixed, grouted and sealed.
01Prepare and tank
The surface behind the tile is checked and boarded out where it is not flat or not sound. Wet areas are tanked before any tiling starts.
02Set out
The tiles are set out before anything is fixed, so the full tiles land where they are seen and the cuts go low or behind fittings.
03Tile and grout
The tiles are fixed and spaced evenly, then grouted and sealed once they have set.
Always. The tile is not the waterproof layer and the grout never has been, so anything that gets wet is tanked first.
Out of sight. Setting out starts from the eye line and works down, so full tiles land where people look and the cuts go low or behind fittings.
Yes. Wet rooms need the falls and the tanking right before a tile goes near them, which is the part that takes the time.
Sometimes. It depends what is behind it and whether it is flat and sound. If it is not, it gets boarded out first, because tile follows whatever it is stuck to.
