About Flooring & Tiling
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
How to maintain new flooring
Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove grit that scratches the surface. Clean tiles with a pH-neutral cleaner and avoid bleach or acids that damage grout. Reseal natural stone every 12 to 18 months. Replace entry mats every 6 months to reduce dirt load. Proper care can extend tile life beyond 20 years in residential settings.
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.
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.
