Ceramic and tile, with their water- and wear-resistant surface, are the essential covering for bathrooms, kitchens and wet areas. Proper substrate prep and waterproofing keep the installation trouble-free for years.
Level the Substrate
Before laying tiles, level the floor with screed or self-leveling compound; dips and bumps leave tiles hollow underneath.
Waterproofing Under Tiles
In wet areas, applying liquid waterproofing under the tiles prevents leaks to the floor below and hidden damp.
Large-Format Installation
Large-format tiles reduce grout lines and look spacious but require a perfectly flat substrate and back-buttering.
Choosing the Right Grout
Standard cement grout is economical; epoxy grout is waterproof, stain-proof and resists mold in wet areas.
Leave Expansion Joints
Leaving expansion joints in large areas and at wall-floor junctions prevents tiles from popping with temperature change.
Mind the Slip Rating
Choosing R10 or higher anti-slip (R-rating) for floor tiles reduces the risk of slipping on wet surfaces.
Advantages
Long-Lasting Surface: Properly laid ceramic is a durable covering that lasts decades without wearing or fading.
Easy Cleaning and Hygiene: The non-porous surface resists stains and harbors no bacteria; it is the most hygienic option for wet areas.
Wide Design Range: Wood, marble and concrete-look patterns deliver the desired aesthetic without sacrificing durability.
