What type of tile do you need?

You can’t simply pick any tile you love. Use these guidelines to pick a practical tile for you particular use: -Does its durability rating fit the area you want to use it in? -Does its surface match its use? Smooth tiles are dangerous when they get wet. -Quality tiles will be more expensive but don’t break easily. This is a more cost effective option. -Do the colours and patterns complement the rest of your décor? Tiles are long term solutions so make sure you’ll love them for years to come.

What does PEI refer to?

Have you heard of PEI rating? This relates to porcelain tiles’ Porcelain Enamel Institute rating. It shows you how abrasion resistant a certain tile is. Pick them according to this scale: -Pei 1: This is sufficient for low traffic domestic areas. -Pei 2: You can use these for interior or exterior areas with relatively low traffic. -Pei 3: These tiles are strong enough to use in light traffic commercial areas and in your home. -Pei 4: Heavy traffic areas at home or in commercial spaces won’t easily cause harm to tiles in this category. -Pei 5: You can safely use these in domestic or commercial areas where you expect a lot of traffic.

Steps done by tiling contractors to prepare surfaces before being tiled

The SABS has standards for tile surfaces. These guidelines will help you achieve these standards: -The surface must be level. It is adjusted with self-levelling screed. -Ensuring the surface has cured (dried) before tiling starts. This can take up to six weeks. -Checking how porous the surface is by pouring water on the surface. If it’s too porous moisture will escape from adhesives and lower the bond strength. -Smooth surfaces such as concrete or steel can be treated with acid beforehand to remove laitance. -Surfaces must be hard. -Cleaning the area of dust, mould and particles by washing it with bleach or a high pressure washer.

What Our Customers Say

Nick

The work that Lawrence and his crew did for us, building a large retaining wall, was first class. My wife and I could not be more satisfied with the high quality of workmanship and attention to detail. His pricing for labor was more than fair and we look forward to having him being involved in our upcoming additional project in the vey near future. Thanks again, Lawrence for a job very well done!
