Choosing the best floor tile is only the beginning of your design journey. Proper installation is crucial to achieving a flawless finish and long-lasting durability. At Lonix Ceramica, we not only provide premium-quality tiles but also help you make the most of them with expert installation advice. Whether you're renovating your home or working on a new project, these tips ensure your tiles stay strong, beautiful, and secure for years.
1. Prepare the Surface Thoroughly
A smooth, level, and clean surface is essential before tile installation. Remove dust, old adhesive, oil, or paint to ensure the best floor tile adheres properly.
2. Use the Right Adhesive
Not all tiles and surfaces require the same adhesive. Choose the right adhesive type for the tile material and area—whether it's for dry interiors, wet zones, or outdoor settings. Lonix experts recommend polymer-modified adhesives for better bonding strength.
3. Plan the Layout First
Dry lay the tiles to plan the layout and avoid awkward cuts or uneven joints. This is especially important with patterned or large-format tiles. It helps achieve a balanced, symmetrical finish.
4. Maintain Proper Gaps and Spacing
Use spacers to maintain consistent grout gaps. This not only enhances the visual appeal but also allows for thermal expansion, reducing the risk of cracks.
5. Cut Tiles with Precision
Use a quality tile cutter or wet saw for clean, accurate cuts—especially for porcelain and vitrified tiles. Sharp edges or improper cuts can ruin the polished look of even the best floor tile.
6. Grouting Matters
Allow tiles to set for at least 24 hours before applying grout. Choose grout that complements the tile color and is water-resistant for areas like kitchens and bathrooms. Smooth the grout lines and clean excess grout immediately for a neat finish.
7. Finish with Sealing (if required)
Some tiles and grout types need sealing for added moisture and stain protection. Consult with Lonix experts to know whether your tile needs this step.
