About Flooring & Tiling
Subfloor preparation is not optional
Tiles need a flat, clean, and rigid surface. Concrete subfloors must be cured for at least 28 days before tiling. Wooden subfloors often need a cement backer board or uncoupling membrane to prevent cracking. A 3 mm deviation over 2 m is the maximum tolerance. Poor preparation is the main cause of loose or cracked tiles later.
Warranty and what it should cover
A reliable installer offers a written warranty of at least 12 months on workmanship and passes through the manufacturer's warranty on materials, often 10 years or more. The warranty should exclude impact damage and misuse but cover detachment, cracking from substrate movement, and grout failure. Keep the invoice and product codes filed for any future claim.
Slip resistance for bathrooms and kitchens
Tiles carry an R rating from R9 to R13. R10 to R11 suits most home bathrooms and kitchens. A glossy tile with a high R value does not exist. Ask the installer for the rating slip before choosing. Outdoor patios and pool surrounds need R12 or higher for safety.
Why tile prices vary so much
Material cost depends on tile type, thickness, and finish. Porcelain tiles range from $15 to $60 per m², while natural stone can exceed $80. Labour usually costs between $30 and $50 per m². Complex cuts, small-format mosaics, or herringbone patterns increase labour time significantly. Always request a breakdown of materials and labour separately.
How a professional measures your floor before quoting
The installer measures length and width of every room and adds 10 percent for cuts and breakages. Staircases, door thresholds and bay windows need separate calculations. A sketch with measurements helps the quote stay accurate. If the room is irregular, expect a site visit instead of an instant estimate.
Disposal of old flooring and rubble
Removing old tiles, screed or timber creates heavy waste. A 20 square metre room can fill a 4 cubic metre skip. Clarify in the quote whether removal and disposal are included. Some installers leave bags for the client to clear. Hazardous materials like old vinyl with asbestos need licensed removal.
Grout, adhesive, and why they matter
Cement-based adhesive is standard for ceramic, while modified polymer adhesive suits porcelain and large-format tiles. Epoxy grout resists stains and water better than cement grout but costs more and sets faster. Flexible grout is recommended over expansion joints. Using the wrong product is a frequent cause of discolouration and detachment within the first year.
Acclimatising materials before installation
Wood, laminate and some vinyl planks need to rest in the room for 48 to 72 hours before fitting. This lets the material adjust to indoor humidity and temperature. Skipping this step causes gaps, lifting or buckling a few weeks later. Ask the installer when the boxes arrived on site.
Protecting new floors during follow-on trades
Painters, plumbers and electricians walk on a finished floor. Cover tiles with breathable protective board, not plastic sheeting, which traps moisture and clouds grout. Wooden floors need hardboard sheets taped together. Discuss protection in the contract, or the last trade may damage the new surface.
Common problems after installation
Lippage, where one tile edge sits higher than the next, is a frequent complaint and often signals poor laying technique. Hollow-sounding tiles indicate missing adhesive, which leads to cracking under load. Grout haze appears when residue is not cleaned within 24 hours. These issues are easier to fix immediately than after several months of use.
