Tile Installation Tips for Kitchens and Bathrooms

Successful tile installation depends on careful planning and attention to detail, from selecting the right tile size to ensuring proper waterproofing beneath the surface.

Selecting Tile Size for Your Space

Larger tiles can make small spaces feel bigger with fewer grout lines, while smaller tiles offer more design flexibility for patterns and accents.

• Large-format tiles for open areas
• Mosaic tiles for accents and borders
• Standard sizes for versatile layouts

Preparing the Surface Properly

A level, clean surface is essential for successful tile installation, particularly in wet areas like showers where waterproofing membranes are critical.

Grout Selection and Maintenance

• Sanded grout for wider joints
• Unsanded grout for narrow joints
• Sealing grout to prevent staining

Long-Term Care for Tiled Surfaces

Regular cleaning and periodic grout sealing help maintain the appearance and durability of tiled surfaces for many years after installation.
