Ceramic Flooring and Walls

Before installing ceramic tile, it’s essential to have a solid, clean, and level subfloor or wall surface. In older Montreal homes and basements, extra attention is needed to ensure the surface can properly support the tile and prevent cracking or loosening.

For flooring, the process begins with thorough preparation of the subfloor, sometimes including installation of an underlayment or Schluter waterproofing membrane for added protection, especially in moist areas. Then, tiles are carefully laid out and cut to fit. They are fixed with the right adhesive and leveled for a smooth surface. Schluter trims are often installed at edges and corners to protect and finish the tile edges neatly. Finally, once set, the joints are sealed to protect the installation.

Wall installations follow a similar process but typically require lighter adhesives and precise cutting to fit around fixtures and edges. Schluter trim is also used on wall tile edges for clean, professional finishes.

Backsplashes

Backsplashes protect kitchen walls from splashes and spills while adding decorative appeal. Installation involves preparing the wall surface, sometimes applying a Schluter waterproofing membrane especially near sinks, cutting tiles to fit around outlets and cabinets, and carefully adhering the tiles for a clean finish. Schluter trim is used on backsplash edges to ensure durability and a sharp appearance.

Price for backsplash installation: $20.00 per Square Foot

Ceramic Showers

Shower tile installation requires specialized work, including waterproofing with a Schluter membrane to prevent leaks and water damage. The process starts with installing the Schluter waterproofing membrane on the shower walls and floor. Then, precise tile layout and installation follow, using appropriate adhesives. Schluter trims are installed at corners and edges for protection and aesthetics. Proper sealing of all joints ensures durability and moisture resistance.

Heated Floors Under Ceramic

Heated floors under ceramic tiles are popular in Montreal for added comfort during cold months. Installation includes laying the heating system on the prepared subfloor, often over a Schluter membrane for waterproofing. After testing the heating system, tiles are carefully installed on top without damaging the heating elements. Schluter trims finish the tile edges neatly.
