When it comes to installing your tiles in Thorold there are many mistakes that can occur, some of which are minor and others not so minor. Some error just make for a horrible installation job, while others can affect how well the tile is applied to the surface it’s laid on. Noticing mistakes can often be difficult for an untrained eye or without a few points on what to look for from a professional.
Step 1
Inspect for signs of poor surface preparation by looking for uneven or unstable tiles. Preparing the surface is a crucial first step when tiling any sort of surface and we pay extra close attention to this aspect of your project.
Step 2
Inspect grout joints for pinholes, unevenness or excess grout. These issues are often caused by a rushed grout job which is why we take our time when applying grout, and to create a flawless finish.

Step 3
Checking for incorrect application of adhesive is as easy as lightly tapping the tile with a finger. Listen closely to the tone of the knock compared with surrounding tiles. A hallow sound is a good sign of a poorly set tile.
Step 4
Checking tiling around electrical outlets, doorjambs or other items within the tiled surface for good clean, confirming cuts. This attention to detail is important as is clearly demonstrates a good tiling job from a poor tiling job.
Step 5
Check for bad planning or tile layout. Use a measuring tape to check if tiles were centered when installed. A proper tile installation is centered in the room's wall or floor surface. This gives you equal tile cuts on both ends of the finished wall or floor's tile pattern.
Final Tip
Discover problems before the adhesive has completely dried if possible, ideally within six to 12 hours after application. The faster problems are found, the easier they are to fix.
