Top rated - Tile Laying

Kitchen Glass TilesThe glass tiles will go under the upper cabinets. It is easier if the layout calls for the distance under the cabinets to correspond to the height of the tile sheets so no cutting is needed.dozer

Kitchen TilesThe smaller kitchen tiles being laid. Although it would be easy enough to get away with a wet mix one pass application, the tiler here also uses the dry mix two step process. Here the weber adhesive cement is being applied.dozer

SpacersThe spacers used are just box wrap that is about .75 mm in width. We've switched to using these instead of the plastic spacers as it is about the right grout line with most tiles.dozer

Granito TilesThese are the heavy granito tiles, each weighing appx 7.5 kg each. They are laid much like granite or marble because of their weight. Many 'tilers' don't know how to do a proper job with granito and I have seen it done wrong many times.dozer

Video Showing Granito Tile LayingThis is a 7 minute video showing the process for laying granito tiles. It is a bit funky in that the tiler goes really slow because of the camera, but it demonstrates in general how it should be done. The main thing to note is that it is a two step process using dry mix concrete as a base. dozer
