TILE FLOORS & TILE UNDERLAYMENT
INSTALLING FLOOR TILES:

Tile flooring for interior or exterior applications starts with
the proper floor underlayment to meet the jobsite
requirements as set forth in home specs.

In the example below the sub floor installed was 3/4 inch
t&g plywood. Schluter/Ditra was chosen as the underlayment
for it's low profile 1/8th inch to compensate for the height of
the  tile and carpet to be installed.
Since this floor tile installation is to be in a master bathroom
where water is present Ditra is a good choice.
Not only does it serve as an underlayment but also as a crack
isolation membrane and water resistant moisture barrier.

PROFESSIONAL LAYOUTS / FLOOR TILE:

One of the keys to a professional tile installation is the
layout. It is vital to know where your layout is going.
The size of the cuts and where to place them is the
number one concern for the professional tile contractor,
Interior Designer and the Homeowner.

There are several ways in determining where the cuts
should go and much depends on the size of the tile and
the configuration of the room.

In this example our tile setter is dry setting the tile in
place. The tile being set is an Italian 18x18 porcelain tile
and by laying the tile out in this fashion the tile installer
can determine what size cuts are needed and where to
place them for the most appealing look.
The tile cuts will be made using this method and laying
tile in thinset will not take place until all the cuts are
made.
When it comes to floors, keep it flat!
READY FOR GROUT

For the best results in grouting tile floors
read the directions listed on the thinset
materials and grout instructions. Depending
on the underlayment, type of tile installed
and jobsite conditions, adequate curing time
is essential for the longest lasting results
desired, namely grout that will not crack or
flake over.
Not all tile and grout needs to be sealed, it
depends on the recommendation of the
manufacturers. In this case the porcelain tile
doesn't need to be sealed but the grout
does. Knowing what grout sealer to use
comes with 29 years of experience and the
results of countless hours of installations
and research necessary for the lasting
beauty of your tile installation projects.
