What Tiling Laws Should You Follow To Make Your Place Look Better?

by Build Pro General Contractor
Tiling is one of the best practical and attractive options for a bathroom or en-suite. It is a cost-effective way to give your home’s bathroom a classy yet low-maintenance finish. There are a number of dealers who offer professional services to the people who are looking for the high-quality finish at pocket-friendly prices. It is always better to hire services of the experts who are trained and skilled in such a job.

Hiring a novice for this job can cost you so high because he is inexperienced and he does not effectively know where to begin and where to end. Thus, just to save a few pennies, avoid hiring such a person to a job that even lacks in effective planning and preparations. There are a lot of efficient tradesmen who are perfect to be hired for tiler jobs in Dublin.

Make sure that your look for a professional who is well-versed with the basic tiling laws. Although some of these are just plain common sense, they’re given strong identities so that the professionals keep them in mind while performing their task. Let’s have a look at these laws:

  • Minimize using the tiles less than half-size

The tiles those are half-sized or even less looks strange and skinny when used at any place in the bathroom. It is because they draw our eyes towards them so quickly as when something is out of the norm; our eyes immediately get attracted towards it. Not only in the case of tiling, but also in general cases, where we find something fishy we quickly get attracted towards it. Cutting is obviously a part of tiling job in Dublin. But, make sure that you ask your tiler to use only the tiles that are between half and full-size. Use less than half-sized tiles at the small spaces that are left after laying the tiles all around the space. Cover those left over spaces with such tiles because it will be slightly visible and will be imperceptible to the eye.

  • Employ symmetry in your layouts

This is the case where the layout doesn’t look right, but it is also difficult to identify exactly what is so wrong. This law is basically for the edge pieces of tiles. For instance, if the tiles are set around a sink, make sure that all the tiles bordering the sink are of the same size. While laying tiles on the bathroom wall make sure the tiles placed on the opposite walls are of the same size. Make everything look attractive following the symmetry layouts.

  • Minimize your tile-cutting

This law focuses on a jumble of small tiles. It means setting all the tiles in an untidy manner. Thus, make sure that as a professional you take extensive care of laying the tiles in an appropriate manner. There should be minimal use of cut tiles because of these two reasons:

    o It gives a bad look to a place: Cut-tiles never look good. It destroys the overall aura of the place. It is always better to use as many full tiles as you can both at bathroom walls and floor.

    o Save some work for yourself: Tile-cutting is not so fun-frolic thing. Using such tiles creates pure visual chaos. Even outfitting the top line of the wall with tile-cutting, you will not enjoy the feel.

It is, therefore, better to use cut tiles only in a part of your en suite because it simply does not look good to have a lot of cut tiles in a single layout.

  • Make use of full tiles in highly visual areas

According to this law, the most visible part of your bathroom wall or floor should never have an array of cut tiles. Professional tilers always make sure that they find an out of the way solution to use the cut tiles. They prefer using the cut tiles in the less-noticeable areas; near walls, borders, under the cabinet overhangs, under the wash basins or any other place where they’re least visible. Never use the cut tiles in the centre of the bathroom floor because it is one of the worst places to use these tiles.
