Common Tiling Errors

If you’re thinking about cutting out the middleman and taking on a Jackson WY Tile Installation project on your own, familiarizing yourself with some of the common mistakes those who have gone before you have committed can help provide you with an initial set of guidelines to follow. Some of the more common errors of judgment committed with this project include:

Mismatch the trowel size

The trowel size should correspond with the size of the tile. Larger tiles need a deeper layer and therefore will use more adhesive, which will ensure that the tile fits perfectly.

Cracking the Tiles

It is normal to have some breakages and cracks in a tiling job. Preparing for such accidents is crucial when developing a tiling project. Always ensure you buy at least 10% more tiles than you need. This may come in handy in case of breakages and cracks.

Improper underlayment

You have to ensure that the bottom floor or wall on which you place your tiles is properly level and waterproof to prevent water from seeping into other areas of the house.

Bad grout

Ensure that you lay the grout cleanly and neatly with minimal spillage. This will ensure that when it dries it won’t spill over, affecting the aesthetics and texture of the floor.

What to Consider with Mosaic Tiles

Mosaic tiles are great for bathrooms and outdoor areas. They offer a unique option when compared to plain designs, and are integrated with various sections of a room, building, or house. If you’re thinking about including this option with your Jackson WY Tile project, some issues to consider include:

DIY or Contractors

If you have no previous experience with these tiles, hiring a professional is advisable when looking to attain quality work. It’s worth remembering that the placement of these types of tiles requires particular care to pull off the final presentation of the tiles. It will also take a lot of time and it will be expensive to try to correct any mistakes that you may make.

Budget

Mosaic tiles are arguably more expensive than most alternatives in the market. Some designs are also not easily available, meaning you’ll need the right connections when sourcing such supplies. It’s essential to consider your budget before making a final decision, if you would like to save as much money as possible, this may not be the option for you.

Style and Design

Mosaic tiles are available in a variety of styles and designs. You can choose a traditional replica of Michelangelo’s masterpiece, for example, or choose something more gothic such as a representation of one of Andy Warhol’s pieces.
