![]() Tiles can be different types and range from simple square tiles to complex mosaics. We install tiles often for coverings wall, floor, roofs, and showers, or other objects such as tabletops. When it comes to the tile, there are so many options to choose from that a lot of homeowners even dot not think about. Any store or showroom offer enormous variety of tile that sometimes it is even hard to make fast decision which type, shape, color or size will be the best for the new renovation project. There are different types of tile materials. Tile is a one of the most durable materials and it is possible to install it in any inside area. Some tile such as porcelain, glass or metal will be good for outside projects as well. Cost of tile installation will depend on a type of tile at a first place. Installations tips Prior to the installation of any type of tile the area should be properly prepared. It is essential that area, where tile will be installed is stable in order to avoid any cracks after installation. If it is plywood or any other wood on the floor, install tile underlayment prior to tile installation. In the bathroom or any other wet areas install waterproof drywall on the walls first and then put tile. In the shower install water and mold resistant cement boards on the walls and ceiling and glue it to the studs. Also, even though, drywall and cement boards will be not visible after tile will be install, always type and patch or glue corners and spaces between boards. When preparation process is done and tile is ready for the installation use proper type of adhesive to set the tile. Usually it takes one day for the tile adhesive to dry. Next step is to grout tile. If spaces between tile are big (¼ of an inch) or more use sanded grout, if less you should use not sanded type of grout. The very last step of installation is to seal any type of stone tile by using a proper sealer. |
