About Flooring & Tiling

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.

Insurance and contractor liability

A legitimate flooring contractor carries public liability insurance covering damage to your property or a neighbour's. Ask for the policy number and expiry date before work begins. Workers at your home should also be covered for accidents. Verbal confirmation is not enough; request the document.

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.

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.

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.

What to ask about waterproofing in wet areas

Bathrooms and laundry rooms need a waterproof membrane under the tiles, not just on the walls. The membrane should cover the entire floor and extend at least 150 mm up the walls. Ask which brand the installer uses and whether a compliance certificate is issued. Skipping this step is a leading cause of water damage in apartments.

Drying times before walking or grouting

Cement-based adhesive needs 24 hours before grouting. Rapid-set products can be ready in 4 to 6 hours, but read the bag. Walking on tiles before adhesive cures moves them and breaks the bond. Keep the room closed and avoid heavy traffic for at least 1 full 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.

Underfloor heating and tiling

Electric underfloor heating mats can be installed under most tiles, but the adhesive must be rated for heated floors. The system needs 2 to 4 weeks to cure before being switched on, and temperature should rise gradually by 5 °C per day. Vinyl and laminate can also be used, though heat output is lower than with stone or porcelain.

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.
