About Flooring & Tiling
Movement joints in large tiled areas
Any tiled surface over 8 linear metres, or where floor meets wall, needs a flexible silicone or expansion joint. Without it, tiles crack under thermal movement or structural shift. The colour of the joint can match grout or contrast as a design line. Confirm the spacing plan before work starts.
Types of flooring you can install at home
The most common options for residential use are ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles, vinyl planks, laminate boards, and natural stone. Each material reacts differently to moisture and traffic. Porcelain is denser than ceramic and resists water better. Vinyl and laminate are quicker to install but cannot be refinished. Stone looks attractive but needs sealing every 1 to 2 years.
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.
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.
Transitions between different floor types
Where tile meets carpet, wood or vinyl, a transition strip covers the height difference and protects the edge. Aluminium, brass and PVC profiles are common. The strip should sit flush with the higher surface to prevent trips. Discuss profile material and colour before installation day.
What to check before hiring a tiler
Ask to see proof of insurance and at least 3 photos of completed jobs similar to yours. Confirm whether the quote includes removal of old flooring, disposal, subfloor preparation, and grouting. A written quote should list the tile brand, size, adhesive type, and approximate square metres covered. Avoid cash-only deals and always request an invoice.
How to measure the area correctly
Measure length and width of each room in metres and multiply to get the square metre total. Add 10 % extra for cuts and breakage on straight layouts, and 15 % for diagonal or patterned layouts. Always round up, never down. A tape measure, notepad, and sketch with door and corner positions are enough for an accurate quote.
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.
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.
How long a flooring job usually takes
A 20 m² ceramic tile installation in a single room typically takes 2 to 3 days, plus 24 hours before grouting and another 24 hours before walking on it. Larger areas, diagonal patterns, or uneven subfloors can extend the work to 1 week. Adhesive and grout cure times depend on humidity and room temperature, usually between 18 °C and 25 °C.
