Tile Installer Profession
The tile installer or tiler is a professional who handles the installation of flooring and wall coverings for interiors and exteriors of homes, offices, commercial, or industrial spaces. The work of a tile installer begins before the actual installation of the floor or wall covering.
1.Site Inspection and Estimate
Firstly, the tiler must visit the site where the work will be done to measure the work area and discuss with the owner to understand their needs, preferences, and expectations. They must determine whether it is a new construction or a renovation, and in the latter case, whether it is necessary to remove the current flooring and coverings and adjust the base for laying. Once the extent of the work is established, they will prepare a detailed estimate.
2.Removal of Old Materials
In the case of a building renovation, it will probably be necessary to demolish the old flooring and coverings, remove wallpaper or wall coverings, before laying the new ones. In some cases, however, it may be possible to apply new materials over the existing ones. This is possible, for example, if the owner desires a resin floor. This material can be applied over parquet, tiles, wood, ceramic, concrete, in short, all surfaces.
3.Preparing the Base
Preparing the base is essential for the success of the work. Before laying the flooring, it’s important to:
- Clean the entire surface to eliminate any dirt residue. The surface must not have unevenness, cracks, holes, fissures, but should be flat, without slopes.
- Ensure that the work base is free of holes, cracks, fissures, or traces of glue from the old covering or wallpaper. The wall must be smooth and clean.
4.Preparing the Materials
The tile installer must prepare the binders such as glue, cement, resin, etc., and cut the material to be laid (tiles, parquet, etc.).
3.Laying
At this point, the tile installer can lay the floors and coverings and, if necessary, fill the joints.
