Our Process
Tiling Process
- Preparation:Â
Clean, level, and smooth the surface by removing old materials, filling cracks, sanding, and vacuuming up dust. For floors, install a durable, dust-free tile underlayment by scoring, snapping, and securing with corrosion-protected screws.Â
- Layout:Â
Mark the center of the area with a chalk line and perform a “dry layout” to visualize the tile placement and ensure even spacing.Â
- Adhesive Application:Â
Mix the tile adhesive according to the manufacturer’s instructions and apply it to a small, manageable section of the prepared surface using a notched trowel.Â
- Tile Installation:Â
Press tiles firmly into the adhesive, using tile spacers to maintain consistent gaps for grouting and ensuring tiles are level.Â
- Cutting:Â
Measure, mark, and cut tiles as needed to fit around obstacles or edges using a tile cutter or wet saw, wearing safety goggles.Â
- Curing and Grouting:Â
Allow the adhesive to cure for the time specified by the manufacturer, typically 24 hours.Â
- Finishing:ÂOnce cured, apply grout to the gaps between tiles using a 45-degree motion to fill the joints deeply. Clean excess grout with a damp sponge, and apply silicone sealant to corners.Â
Slating Process
- Surface Preparation:Â
Install underlayment and batten boards to ensure correct vertical and horizontal spacing for the slates.Â
- Starter Course:Â
Begin with a starter course of half-width or “slate and a half” slates at the eave for waterproofing, followed by full-width eave slates with appropriate gaps.Â
- Brick Bond Pattern:Â
Install successive rows of full slates, overlapping the previous row in a staggered “brick bond” pattern.Â
- Mechanical Fastening:Â
Mechanically fasten the slates to the battens with nails, ensuring the nails just touch the slate without being hammered too far in.Â
- Valleys and Flashing:Â
Install lead or other flashing materials in the roof valleys and at wall abutments for waterproofing.Â
- Top and Ridge Finish:ÂFinish the roof with smaller half-height slates at the top, and install ridge tiles with a recommended overlap onto the slates.Â
