About Flooring & Tiling
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Expansion gaps around the perimeter
Floating floors need a gap of 8 to 12 mm around walls, pipes and door frames. The gap is hidden by skirting or trim. Without it, the floor presses against walls when humidity rises and lifts in the middle. A good tiler checks the gap before fitting the last row.
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.
Tile layout and where the cuts fall
The tiler should plan the layout so cuts at both ends of the room are equal and never narrower than half a tile. Walls are rarely straight, so a centre line guides the first row. A dry layout before adhesive prevents ugly slivers near skirting. Ask to see the planned layout on the floor.
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.
