Tiling Services Melbourne

Tiling is used for both decorative and functional purposes, including creating a durable surface, adding a decorative touch or waterproofing. Tiling can be done in many ways; if you already have a tiled floor or wall and you would like to change its look completely, we can remove the existing tiles and install brand new tiles and grout to make it look completely different. Or if you have a floor that’s carpeted or has timber, we can tile such areas too. Or if you have cracked tiles, we can only replace those tiles to keep the same look but make it look neat and nice. Or if you have a leak in your pool or shower, we can waterproof and install new tiles. Similarly, there are many ways to tile your home or your commercial property. Whether it’s indoors or outdoors, tiling can be done anywhere in your property.

The tiling process carried out by our expert team typically involves multiple steps.

First, we will come and meet you at your property. We want to see what your vision for the project is whether it’s a renovation or a completely new project.

Secondly, we plan with you. Our experts, who are knowledgeable in tile types will be able to recommend the best tile for your project. Once we are all set and have agreed upon a specific plan, then we get into the technical things:

The first technical thing we do is prepare the surface for tiling. Whether it’s a floor, or a wall, or a splash back, or a balcony, or a pool, or a bathroom, or a courtyard, or a walking path, the preparation stage is very important. If we don’t prepare the surface properly, then the tiling will not look nice or function properly. For example, in a walking path, if the preparation is not done properly, pavers will not be flushed when they are laid which would make the walking path hazardous causing people to trip and fall. This is why our experts at Tile Solution Australia pay a lot of attention when preparing the surface for tiling.
If it’s an area that tends to get wet, such as bathrooms, showers, balconies, pools etc., we need to waterproof the surface before we get to the next step. Waterproofing is the installation of a membrane to prevent water from penetrating and causing damage to the sub-floor. This process is essential as it not only protects the subfloor, but it also prevents moisture, mold and structural damage which in turn ensures the longevity and durability of the building.
Then we level the surface. We use screeding to make sure all the gaps are filled, and the tiling surface is flawless for us to install the tiles.
Then, we take our measurements and cut the tiles to the right size and shape. This is what makes the finished project look flawless.
Then we apply tile adhesive and install the tiles. Our experts will be able to help you pick the correct adhesive depending on the tile type, type of the property and the location of the project. If your project requires trims or expansion joints, these will be installed in this step.
Then comes the next aesthetic part of tiling which is grouting. Grouting is important for the look of the project. If the grout lines are too big or uneven, it will make the whole area look unpleasant. This is why it’s important to pick a team that are experts in grouting. Please refer to our Grouting for more information.
Finally, we caulk all edges and corners to make the area airtight. Please refer to our Caulking for more information.
Voila, your project is complete!
