Schen Tiling

Here’s our standard floor tiling process for replacing old tiles or installing new ones in a property:

• We begin by thoroughly cleaning the floor to eliminate any debris or dust, ensuring a level surface for tiling.
• Next, we measure to locate the center of the room and use a high-tech laser to stretch and snap two intersecting chalk lines at the center of the floor.
• Before setting the tiles, we conduct a dry run by laying out the tiles and spacers on the floor. This helps us determine the starting point and the exact width of the grout lines.
• We then snap another chalk line, guided by our laser, along the tile width from each wall to ensure perfectly straight tile placement. We continue adjusting the tiles and spacers until we achieve the correct placement.
• We prepare a thin-set mixture or adhesive to secure the tiles in place.
• We spread the mixture or adhesive on each floor section and use a trowel to create an even layer for the tiles.
• If a tile needs to fit against a wall and doesn’t fit perfectly, we mark and cut it using a high-quality tile cutter to ensure a perfect fit.
• We use the chalk line to place spacers between each tile, ensuring even spacing.
• Once the tiles are set, we allow them to dry before applying grout in your selected color and texture.
• We use a rubber squeegee to ensure the grout is evenly distributed between each tile.
• Finally, we remove any excess grout with a cloth or damp sponge.
