Here’s Why Your Tile Prep Is So Important!

Before you dive into tiling, communicate with your builder / tiler about the tile thickness you’ve chosen. The thickness of your tiles determines the floor screeding requirements. Get it right from the start to save time and money! Featuring @katgaxa 🎉
Here are some tips:
 1. Floor Stability:
Tile thickness plays a crucial role in ensuring the stability of your flooring. Different tile thicknesses require varying levels of floor screeding to create a level and even surface. If this coordination is overlooked, you could end up with uneven or wobbly floors that not only look bad but can also pose safety hazards.
      2. Aesthetic Finish
The right tile thickness contributes to the overall aesthetic of your space. Mismatched tile thickness and screeding can result in unsightly transitions, visible gaps, or an uneven appearance that detracts from the beauty of your tiled surfaces. Proper communication with your tiler or builder ensures a cohesive and visually appealing finish.
     3. Cost Efficiency
Efficient communication about tile thickness with your tiler or builder can save you both time and money. When the tile thickness aligns with the screeding requirements from the beginning, there’s no need for costly adjustments or redoing work. This proactive approach not only streamlines the project but also keeps your budget in check, making the entire process more cost-effective.
Save yourself from redoing work and enjoy a seamless tile transformation 😊
