DURING INSTALLATION

  • Make sure you have a plan for your existing flooring or subflooring. This may need to be removed, and it costs extra if it's not something that is figured out ahead of time.
  • The tile installation process will vary depending, but here is a cursory overview of what will take place: your crew will mix the mortar and apply it to the floor using a trowel; they will then lay the towel down on the mortar, ensuring there is cohesion between the two. 
  • From there, the team will use spacers to ensure the proper placement of the individual tiles, finishing with the edges of your floors. 
  • The task will culminate with proper grouting, sealing, and clean up!
