General guide to buying tiles

1. Firstly measure all the floor and wall areas to be tiled. If the tiles are regular in size
(15x15cm or 20x20cm) then you should not have to add more than 10% for wastage.
Some tiles may have to be cut and the offcut may not be used elsewhere, others
may be damaged during delivery or blemished. Always order at least an extra
10%, even if you don’t use them, they may come in handy at a later date in the
future.

2. If you are tiling the bathroom walls, why not tile the whole room. There’s only one thing
more tiresome than painting a 900mm strip of wall between tiles and ceiling,
and that’s having to repaint it every few years.

3. If you are using a floor or wall border, to estimate the quantity required simply measure
the linear distance to be tiled and divide it by the length of each border to
arrive at the net number of tiles required. Again add a few extra borders for
waste.

4. Don’t forget to check carefully if the floor tile selected is suitable and will withstand
the foot traffic it may be subjected to.

 5. In certain situations you may have to think about slip resistance and its relevance to your household or environment i.e
around an indoor pool or in a bathroom in which a person with disabilities mayfrequent.

6. Make sure you buy the correct tile adhesive for the tiles in question and a compatible
type and colour grout. You may need to consider flexibility, waterproofing or
staining etc

7. What about ease of maintenance? Ceramic tiles are generally easy to clean, but what about
terracotta, marble or porcelain. Make sure you understand what’s required to
keep your floor looking good and any products you may require to maintain them.

8. Everyone likes a bargain but if you discover an attractive but average tile in terms of
appearance and durability that only costs £15 a meter square, compared to an excellent
tile available at £25m2, don’t be tempted to sign on the dotted line without
considering:  if you need 10m2 at an extra cost of £10 per m2, what’s £100 compared to
living with your second choice for 10, 20 even 30+ years. Remember many grade 4 and 5 floor tiles are
guaranteed for over 30 years.

9. If employing a tiler, check out his reputation and don’t be afraid to ask
questions and get multiple quotes.

Please feel free to call us for advice on all aspects of purchasing tiles, installation and
tile maintenance.
