Tile Installation in Dubois, PA
By following these helpful considerations for before, after, and during your new tile installation, you can ensure a smooth process in your home or business.
Before Tile Installation
Remove all furniture, electronics, items, and wall hangings from the rooms and closet areas receiving new tile. Since tile cannot be installed over an existing surface, your current floors will need to be removed completely. Complete all painting and touch-ups prior to installation. Your subfloor must be completely flat, and any imperfections must be repaired. Once your subfloor has been professionally assessed, you are ready for new tile installation.
During Tile Installation
On the day of your tile installation, an adult needs to be home to answer questions for the installation crew. Designate an area in the home for the workers to keep installation tools, keep boxes of tile before they are installed, mix grout, and to cut tile as needed. Keep all children and pets away from the rooms receiving new tile and the worker’s area. Establish appropriate ventilation in the home as instructed by the installers.
After Tile Installation
Once your new tile is installed, it is important to wait the specified amount of time before walking on the new floors and returning furniture to the rooms. To prevent an uneven surface, new tile floors need time to cure and grout to set. Always return furniture by either lifting or using proper moving equipment with rollers to avoid scratching the tile. We recommend using felt protectors under the legs of heavy furniture to reduce impact.
