About Flooring & Tiling
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
