Tiling Victoria Floorex
Tile floors are classic, incredibly durable, and come in a wide range of styles and colors. If you are looking to remodel your home or business in Victoria, BC, floor tile is always a great choice. Tile is highly water resistant, making it ideal for kitchens and bathrooms, and it is also cost effective and long lasting if you are looking to upgrade your showroom floor’s appearance. Tile is also a great way to enhance the appeal of a coastal property in Victoria!
At
Tiling Victoria, we offer both floor tile installations and professional grout cleaning and floor restoration services. We also install vertical tiles for showers, bathroom accent walls, and stylish kitchen backsplashes. Whether you want a brand new floor or want to revitalize your existing tile floor with our commercial or residential cleaning services, call our tile installation and cleaning experts today!
Our tile installers in Victoria, BC have years of experience in laying tile that is perfectly straight and solid. While laying tile can sound like an easy task, anyone who walks into your home or business will notice even one spacing issue or incorrect cut. Considering how long your floor will last, it is more than worth the extra expense to ensure it is installed right!
A great tile installation starts with a clean and level subfloor. We will remove the existing flooring if necessary, then ensure that your subfloor is sufficient to support your chosen tile. We will then measure your space and plan the installation so that the tiles are centered and straight. Just one small error in preparation can make the entire room look crooked!
Once we are confident in our plan, it is time to begin securing the tiles with mortar. We use appropriate spacers before setting every tile to ensure precise and consistent spacing. When we reach a wall, our equipment ensures that every cut is perfect so there are no gaps. We also level the tile as we go so that we can correct any issues before the mortar begins to set.
Once all tiles are set and level, it is time for grout. Depending on the mortar required, we may have to wait up to 24 hours before grouting your new floor (we will always let you know the time requirements of your project before we begin so you are never surprised!). Grout is spread across the entire floor with a grout float to ensure even application. Don’t worry - we will clean the excess grout off your tile before it has time to cure!
The final step is to seal the grout. Not only does this help prevent stains and keep mold from taking up residence in your grout, it also keeps your grout looking like new for longer. Once the sealer is dry (sometimes in as little as a couple of hours), your new tile floor is ready for you to enjoy!
While professionally installed tile can last for over 50 years, it will slowly accumulate dirt and grime, which will cause it to lose its shine and eventually even its color. In Victoria, moisture is also a constant threat to your tile - one of our tile maintenance tips for our wet climate is regular cleaning! Fortunately, a professional cleaning can restore your tile floor to its original appearance, remove any mold or mildew that may have started to grow, and help protect your tiles for the future.
At Tiling Victoria, we offer both residential cleaning and commercial cleaning services in Victoria, BC. Our powerful extraction equipment can loosen and remove even the toughest stains. If cleaning alone does not achieve the look you want, our grout recoloring restores even the dirtiest and most neglected floors.
To avoid your tile getting to this point, we recommend scheduling a residential cleaning at least once a year. In low traffic areas, you might only need your tile cleaned every couple of years. The timing is entirely up to you, of course, but the longer you wait, the more time dirt has to embed itself deep in your floor. If you ever notice mold or mildew in your grout, call us immediately to schedule a grout cleaning service!
For commercial tile, we recommend having professionals clean your grout and tile every six months. Due to the high traffic that most commercial floors receive, they must be cleaned more often to keep them looking their best. While this might sound expensive to a business on a tight budget, we believe the benefits of a clean, sanitary floor far outweigh the costs. We are always happy to provide you with a tile and grout cleaning cost breakdown so that you only pay for exactly what you need.
Regardless of how you use your tile floor, it will last longer, look better, and be better for your health if it is regularly cleaned. Whether you need a basic residential cleaning or a commercial grout deep cleaning, call us today. Our experts are here to help you make your floors look just like new again!
