Trust us with your installation
Installing tile or stone as a DIY project is possible, but only if you have prior tile installation expertise and the specialized tools for the job. That’s because tile and stone installations can be very complex and labor intensive, especially if you are creating an intricate design or pattern. We highly recommend trusting the top tile installers in Flooring By Design NC to get the job done efficiently. Read on to learn more about the process.
Preparing for new tile installation
There are quite a few important steps before new tile installation. We'll first send out a professional to measure the room or rooms, check if there's anything that might impact the installation, and then determine how much tile is needed for the job. The room will need to be emptied completely. Your previous flooring will need to be removed, and we'll let you know what we recommend or how we'll handle this. We'll then make sure your subfloor is flat, clean, and ready for tile. Now, your tile installation checklist is complete!
During and after new tile installation
Here's what to expect when new tile is installed. A member of your household who is at least 18 years old should be available to greet the installation crew and show them the work area. For everyone’s safety and to help the project go smoothly, keep children and pets away from the work area until the job is done. Feel free to ask your lead installer any questions you might have about the finished product and get recommendations for when you can use your new tile floors.
Our installers will cut or trim the tiles and spread mortar and grout as they lay the tile. Newly installed tile floors need time to cure and solidify, so you'll want to stay off of your flooring for around 48 hours after the job is done. Although the tile flooring installation process can be noisy, messy, lengthy, and inconvenient, the end result will be well worth it!
