Tiling for bathroom, toilet and kitchen
Tiles are found in places that take a lot of wear: in the shower, around the toilet and on the kitchen wall. We fit wall and floor tiles, as a single job or as part of a complete bathroom renovation.
Tiling as part of the whole
In a bathroom or toilet, the tiling depends on what lies beneath it: pipes, drainage, waterproofing and a flat surface. We carry out all of those parts, from start to finish. So you do not need to arrange a plumber and a tiler separately. Which room would you like tiled?
From surface to final grout line
A flat, waterproof base beneath the tiles
Old tiles and loose layers come off first. Then we make the walls and floor flat and, in wet rooms, waterproof. In a shower, the floor is given a fall towards the drain, so water runs away by itself. Only then do we start tiling.
When tiling, we work from a fixed line, so rows run straight and cut tiles fall in logical places. Around taps, niches and corners, we cut tiles to size. Once the adhesive has set, we grout the tiles. Where tiles meet the bath, shower tray or window frame, we apply a sealant joint, because it allows for slight movement. Finally, we clean the tiles and remove the protective covering.
Choosing tiles for bathroom, toilet, kitchen and floor
Size, finish and pattern for each room
Large tiles mean few grout lines and a calm look. Small tiles or mosaic follow a fall or a curved shape more easily. In the shower, non-slip floor tiles are a sensible choice. A herringbone or brick-bond pattern gives a wall more definition.
In practice, tiling is often linked to other jobs. In a bathroom or toilet renovation, the pipes and drainage come first. Then comes the tiling, and finally the sanitary ware. Would you like a tiled floor with underfloor heating in the living room? Then we choose a tile and adhesive that are suitable for it. Above the tiling, the wall can be plastered or painted. We also include a tiled wall in the kitchen as part of a kitchen renovation.
Choosing tiles with examples
Wondering how large wall tiles work in a small bathroom, or how dark grout looks with light tiles? An example tells you more about that than a single tile in the shop. See what would suit your room.
