Tile set flat, sealed, and square
Bathrooms, showers, kitchens, backsplashes, and floors, with the substrate and waterproofing handled before any tile is set.
Overview
Tile that stays flat, stays sealed, and keeps its lines straight, particularly in the wet areas where mistakes get expensive.
What tile installation involves
Tile is unforgiving of what sits behind it. A substrate that flexes cracks grout; a wet area without a proper membrane lets water into the structure regardless of how good the tiling looks.
The visible craft is in the layout and the cuts. The durability is in the preparation nobody sees.

What you get
Waterproofing before tile
In showers and wet areas the waterproofing layer is what actually keeps water out. Tile and grout are not waterproof on their own.
Layout set out first
Starting point, centre lines, and cut placement are planned so awkward slivers do not land in the most visible spots.
Flat, consistent surfaces
Substrate is prepared so the finished surface is flat and lippage between tiles is kept to a minimum.
Before & after
Completed tile installation projects will be documented here with same-angle before-and-after photography.
Project photography is being prepared. In the meantime, see our before & after comparisons and recent projects.
