Tiling a wet room floor requires careful preparation and attention to detail to ensure the space is fully waterproof and the tiles are properly installed. Here’s a step-by-step guide: • Materials Needed: • Waterproof membrane or tanking kit • Cement backer board (if needed) • Thinset mortar • Wet room tiles (preferably non-slip) • Tile spacers • Notched trowel • Grout • Grout float • Tile cutter • Tile leveling system (optional) • Sealant • Silicone caulk • Sponge and bucket • Spirit level • Tape measure • Pencil and ruler • Steps to Tile a Wet Room Floor: • 1. Preparation: • Subfloor Inspection: Ensure the subfloor is solid, clean, and level. If it’s a wooden floor, reinforce it with a cement backer board. • Waterproofing: Apply a waterproof membrane or tanking kit across the floor and up the walls where tiles will be installed. Ensure all seams, joints, and corners are sealed. • Slope Creation: Ensure the floor has a proper slope (gradient) toward the drain to prevent water pooling. This is typically 1:50 or 1:60 gradient. • 2. Laying Out the Tiles: • Dry Layout: Lay out the tiles dry to determine the best fit and pattern. This allows you to plan the placement and cut tiles as needed. • Mark the Center: Mark the center of the room and use it as a reference point to start tiling. This ensures a symmetrical layout. • 3. Applying the Thinnest Mortar: • Mix the Mortar: Mix the thinnest mortar according to the manufacturer’s instructions. • Spread the Mortar: Use a notched trowel to spread a layer of mortar over a small section of the floor. Hold the trowel at a 45-degree angle to create ridges. • 4. Laying the Tiles: • Place the Tiles: Start placing tiles at the center or from the drain outwards, pressing them into the mortar. Use tile spacers to maintain even spacing. • Cutting Tiles: Use a tile cutter to trim tiles to fit along walls and around fixtures. • Leveling: Check that each tile is level and make adjustments as needed. A tile leveling system can help keep tiles aligned. • 5. Grouting: • Mix the Grout: Once the mortar has set (follow the manufacturer’s time), mix the grout. • Apply the Grout: Use a grout float to press grout into the spaces between tiles. Wipe away excess grout with a damp sponge, ensuring the joints are full. • 6. Sealing: • Seal the Grout (optional): After the grout has cured, apply a grout sealer to protect it from moisture and stains. • Caulking: Apply silicone caulk along the edges where the floor meets the wall or fixtures to create a waterproof seal. • 7. Final Checks: • Clean the Tiles: Once everything is dry, clean the tiles with a soft cloth to remove any haze. • Inspection: Ensure there are no gaps or areas where water could seep through. • 8. Curing Time: • Allow the tiled floor to cure completely before using the wet room. This usually takes about 24 to 48 hours. • Tips: • Choose tiles with a textured or non-slip surface to prevent slipping in a wet room. • Use a tile leveling system to avoid lippage (uneven tiles). • Be thorough with waterproofing, as it is crucial in wet room installations. • Following these steps will help you achieve a professional, long-lasting tiled wet room floor. • #homedecor #Interior #design #tiles #tilesdesign #sink #kitchensink #sinkdesign #washbasins #faucet #gujarattilesinfo #tilesdesign #ceramicexhibition #ceramic #ceramics #ceramica #ceramicart #ceramicartist #steelsink #ceramicstudio #ceramicpro #ceramictiles #morbi #floortiles #ceramiche #morbitiles #ceramicwalltiles #ceramicpot #ceramicreview #sanitaryware #bathware #expo • Download Apps of Tiles Directory • Play Store : • https://play.google.com/store/apps/de... • App Store : • https://apps.apple.com/in/app/gujarat... • You Tube Links : / gujarattilesinfo • FaceBook links : / gujarattilesinfo • Linkedin : / gujarat-tiles-info-103718227 • Instragram : / gujarattilesinfo
