Both kitchen and bathroom walls may require tiling. Tiles protect your walls, and are easy to maintain. There is a wide variety of tiles available with many different sizes, shapes and materials. This allows you to choose the tiles that can make a feature of your room.
When fitting tiles, for a professional finish you can opt for a professional Tiler to fit them for you. To compare the services and prices of several local Tilers, simply select “Tiling”.
DIY Tiling:
If you wish to fit them yourself, you will need to prepare in advance:
Preparation:

  • Ensure wall surfaces are dry, clean and level. Remove any wallpaper or flaking paint, and fill any holes.
  • Measure wall that you wish to tile, and calculate if any tiles need to be cut. (Aim to have cut tiles on either end of the same width for an even look.
  • Choose the height that you wish to start tiling, and using a spirit level mark the line.
  • Prepare the tiles and arrange them in the order that they will be placed.

Fitting Tiles:

  • Spread adhesive (recommended by the tile manufacturer) evenly over the section of wall that you wish to tile. Adhesive usually dries in 30 minutes, so make sure to only spread adhesive over area that you can tile in half an hour (for larger areas, it is recommended to do this in stages).
  • Ridge the surface using a notched spreader
  • Firmly press each tile onto the ridged adhesive, moving in horizontal rows. Use the edge of the marked line youo have made to ensure tiles are level.
  • Use the tile spacer lugs, or alternatively (if tiles do not have spacer lugs) use matches to create a uniform space between each tile.
  • Clean off any excess adhesive with a damp cloth.

Cutting Tiles:

  • Turn the tile over and place against the wall, and mark on the back of the tile where the tile should be cut.
  • If there are more tiles using this measurement, mark the other tiles that should be cut using the marked tile.
  • Cut the tile along the mark using a tile cutter.
  • For odd shaped tiles, you can use a tile nibbler to “nibble” away at the tile to the desired shape.
  • Rotate tiles so that the cut edge is against the corner; this will help to hide any uneven lines.

Grouting:

  • Allow 24 hrs for adhesive to set before filling spaces between the tiles with grout.
  • Grout can come in a “ready mixed” variety, or also in powder form (which should be mixed with water to a stiff consistency). It can also come in a variety of colours, make sure that you select the correct colour for your finish.
  • Use a grout spreader to spread a liberal amount, making sure to fill all the spaces between the tiles.
  • Run a stick with a rounded tip between the tiles for a clean finish.
  • Use a damp sponge to wipe away any excess grout before it sets.
  • After grout has set, polish tiles with a soft cloth.
