Preparing your floor is key to well placed tiles, if your floor is uneven or damp this can impact the fitting of the tiles, if you have any concerns over the floor contact MD Joinery and Handyman who can prepare your floor for you, Handyman Stoke On Trent.
Secret 1: Tile Spacers….. also key to a quality job, a little tip for using them is to press them well below the surface of the tile, this ensures that they do not protrude through the finished grout!
Secret 2: To ensure that any colour variation in your tiles looks good, dry-lay them in position. To minimise shading variation in the tiles, make sure you purchase them at the same time, and give 15% extra for breakages.
Secret 2.5: MD Joinery and Handyman offer handyman services stoke on trent, can lay your floor professionally at a great rate!
Secret 3: Don’t forget to check that your tiles are level from time to time, every row should suffice if your floor is correctly prepared, if they are not level, knock them lightly with a rubber mallet.
Secret 4: The trick to good looking tiles is in the grouting! Most grouts are best left to stand for a few minutes before use, ensure that there is NO lumps in the mix, and go carefully!!
