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.
