We all know that the procedure of installing
tiles is known as tiling. You need to take extra
caution while tiling your home whether you are
doing it for the first time or have done it
before.   So we have collected a few tips on what
you have to DO and what you DONT have to do
while DIY tiling in your home.

•  
• DO's
• Properly Asses/Measure The Room Where You Would
  Do Tiling
•  
• The trick here is to assess and measure the room
  accurately so you can evaluate the number of
  tiles you have to purchase. Try to get the
  correct numbers of tiles youll require to cover
  the entire room considering the accurate
  measurements. Buy a few additional tiles also
  since you never know what number of tiles would
  be shortened and some may unintentionally get
  broken. It's alright if youve purchased many
  additional tiles since you can store and have
  them replaced with the broken ones whenever
  required.

• Make A Checklist Of The Materials, Tools And
  Equipment You'll Require
•  
• You can search online to find the list of things
  that youll need while installing the tiles in
  your home. Yet, just in case you dont have full
  confidence on the online content, then find a
  suitable tile sealing and installation company
  based in Sydney for the best advice.

• Figure Out The Kind Of Tiles That Will Utilise
•  
• If youre planning to install tiles in your
  washroom, then buy tiles that come with a no-slip
  feature. However, it's not so important if you're
  tiling kitchen wall and backsplashes. For
  kitchen, polished tiles will be a better option.

6

• Utilise Tile Spacers
•  
• Tile spacers are actually tiny plastic bits
  utilised to space tiles symmetrically and
  appropriately. By doing layout and spacing of the
  tiles utilising tiles spacers will eventually
  prove helpful in every area. Youll get perfectly
  lined up tiles that are fitted equally apart from
  each other.

7

• DON'TS
• Dont Walk On The Tiles Before The Cement Or
  Adhesive Dries Out
•  
• Remember, your patience will deliver amazing
  results to you. Dont be tempted to walk on the
  newly installed tiles before the adhesive or
  cement dries out completely. You might end up
  doing the whole installation again just because
  you havent waited long enough.

8

•  Dont Buy Hastily
•  
• While doing the shopping for the tiles, first
  shortlists a few designs and then choose from
  them. Think if the tile youre planning to buy
  for your kitchen or bathroom is going to match
  its surroundings.

9

• Dont Forget To Check The Sealing Capacity Of The
  Tiles
•  
• Some tiles manufacturers offer pre-sealed tiles,
  while other dont. You can get help from a tile
  sealing Sydney based company for more info about
  different kinds of tiles and how sealing can be
  done before tiling.

10

• Dont Ignore Water Damage
•  
• While tiling, if you come across an area where
  water damage is present, then repair the damaged
  area before covering it with tile. If you dont
  have much knowledge in this field, then its
  better to hire a tile cleaning Sydney based firm
  that offer complete tile installation, sealing
  and cleaning services.
