Tile installation involves more than just laying pieces of ceramic or stone into place. It begins with a meticulous planning phase where the type of tile is selected based on the purpose and aesthetics of the space. Whether it’s a kitchen backsplash or a bathroom floor, the choice of material is critical. At Guadalupe Tile Company, we guide our customers in selecting durable, stylish tiles that align with both their personal taste and the practical needs of their space.
Once the ideal tile is chosen, the focus shifts to preparing the surface. Proper surface preparation is vital to ensure the longevity and stability of the tiles. This involves cleaning, leveling, and sometimes installing a backer board. Any uneven surfaces or leftover residues can lead to tile movement or cracking. Our team ensures that every surface we work on is thoroughly prepared before we begin the installation.
The next step in tile installation is the layout planning. This stage is where the art of the process truly shines. A well-planned layout not only makes the installation process smoother but also ensures that the finished work looks cohesive and visually appealing. Our experts carefully measure and mark the area, considering factors like symmetry, focal points, and the placement of grout lines. These considerations help in avoiding small cuts of tile at the borders which can disrupt the flow and look irregular.
Grouting follows the layout planning, which is another crucial aspect often underestimated. The color and type of grout used can dramatically alter the appearance of finished tiles. More importantly, grout acts as a sealant that fills the spaces between tiles, preventing moisture from seeping underneath. At Guadalupe Tile Company, we use high-quality grout and ensure it is applied seamlessly to enhance the durability and appearance of the tile installation.
Finally, the sealing process protects the investment and ensures that tiles retain their pristine appearance over time. Sealants prevent stains and fade, particularly in high-moisture areas like bathrooms and kitchens. Our experts use the best sealants available, applying them correctly to maintain the beauty and functionality of the tiles for years to come.
