Get answers to common questions about tile installation, waterproofing, and our services in Oakville and surrounding areas.
Installation cost depends on tile size, pattern complexity, surface preparation requirements, and project scope. Small bathroom floors typically differ from large-format living room installations. Use our tile cost calculator to receive a personalized estimate based on your specific project details.
A standard bathroom floor installation takes two to three days, including surface preparation, tile setting, and grout curing time. Larger projects or complex patterns require additional time. Thinset mortar typically cures in 24 to 48 hours before grouting, and grout needs another 48 to 72 hours before full use. Your installer will provide a detailed timeline during the initial consultation.
Yes, waterproofing is essential for all wet areas. Cement backer board is water-resistant but not waterproof. A continuous waterproof membrane—such as Schluter® KERDI—must be installed over backer board before tile installation to prevent moisture penetration into wall cavities. Experienced installers apply fabric-reinforced membranes at changes in plane and seal all penetrations properly.
Subfloors must be clean, dry, structurally sound, and flat within 1/4 inch over a 10-foot span. Installers use self-leveling compound to fill low spots and grind down high points. Wood subfloors require appropriate thickness—typically 1-1/4 inches minimum—and may need an uncoupling membrane like Schluter® DITRA to accommodate differential movement between wood and tile.
Wait at least 24 to 48 hours after tile installation before light foot traffic, and 72 hours before placing heavy objects or appliances. Thinset mortar beneath tiles requires full cure time to develop proper bond strength. Grouted areas need an additional 48 to 72 hours to cure completely before exposure to moisture or heavy use.
Movement joints are flexible sealant-filled joints that accommodate thermal expansion and contraction in tile assemblies. TCNA Handbook EJ171 requires movement joints at perimeter walls, changes in plane, and at maximum 25-foot intervals for interior installations. These joints prevent tile tenting, cracking, and grout failure caused by thermal cycling and substrate movement.
Professional installation ensures proper substrate preparation, waterproofing, and long-term performance. Tile requires specialized tools, knowledge of industry standards, and experience with leveling systems to prevent lippage and ensure proper drainage in wet areas. While small backsplash projects may be suitable for experienced DIYers, showers, floors, and large-format tiles benefit from professional expertise to avoid costly failures.
Lippage prevention starts with a flat substrate and continues with proper thinset application and mechanical leveling systems. Installers use leveling clips during installation to maintain consistent tile plane across the entire surface. Large-format tile installations require back-buttering each tile and using appropriate trowel notch sizes to ensure full coverage and eliminate voids.
Standard grout joint width is 2mm for rectified tiles and 3mm for non-rectified tiles. Larger joints accommodate tile size variation and substrate movement. Grout joints should never be completely eliminated—even rectified tiles require minimum spacing to accommodate thermal expansion and provide proper grout adhesion. Joint width also affects maintenance, with wider joints collecting more debris.
Tile-over-tile installation is possible when existing tile is firmly bonded, level, and free from cracks. The surface must be thoroughly cleaned and abraded to ensure proper thinset adhesion. However, this approach adds height to the floor, which can create transitions issues at doorways and may not be suitable for areas requiring waterproofing. Most professionals recommend removing old tile for optimal results.
Curbless showers require precise sloping—typically 1/4 inch per foot toward the drain—throughout the entire shower floor. A continuous waterproof membrane extends from the shower floor up the walls to appropriate height. Curbless shower installations demand careful coordination between substrate preparation, membrane application, and tile setting to ensure proper drainage and prevent water escape into adjacent areas.
Porcelain tile is denser and less porous than ceramic tile, making it more suitable for high-moisture areas and exterior applications. Porcelain typically has water absorption below 0.5%, while ceramic can absorb more moisture. Both materials are durable for residential use, but porcelain offers superior frost resistance and strength for floor applications. Your choice depends on location, traffic levels, and aesthetic preferences.
Cement-based grout in wet areas should be sealed annually or when water no longer beads on the surface. Grout in dry areas may require sealing every two to three years. Epoxy grout does not require sealing. Proper grout sealing prevents staining and moisture penetration. Regular tile maintenance extends the life of your installation and maintains its appearance.
Tile installation itself typically does not require a permit in Oakville, but associated work—such as plumbing changes, electrical for heated floors, or structural modifications—may require permits. Ontario Building Code compliance is required for all wet area installations. Your installer should confirm permit requirements during project planning based on the specific scope of work.
