Yes. It's very easy if the floor is smooth and stable.
Along with your tiles, you should have the appropriate adhesive.
If the flooring is unstable or not entirely flat, please ask us for advice.

Sometimes it may be easier to stick tiles on top of existing tiling. However, please :

1. Check whether the existing tiling is in a good state of repair, and is entirely flat.

2. Use suitable adhesive. If the tiling is not completely flat, it would be better to apply a stabilising layer before starting with the new tiling.
Before starting work, however, please ensure that you calculate the end thickness.

No. Even if the tiling is non-porous, you are guaranteed that tiles will not stick to a humid wall.

First of all, we should clarify what we mean by "large" tiles?
Large tiles are 30x30cm and above.
It all depends on the surface to be tiled. As a general rule, professionals have no difficulty in laying large tiles and can carry out their task very quickly.
The individual DIY enthusiast, however, will find that the slightest mistake can be difficult to correct when laying large tiles.
Errors arise when tiles are: not fully flat; not properly aligned.

Even if tiles are very hard-wearing, floor tiles do get worn down, mainly through having to bear very heavy items.
We are mainly thinking of grit and other loose stones that collect on the soles of our shoes.
The best solution to avoid premature wear and tear is to place a doormat at the entrance to your home. This is also a good solution for all maintenance issues.

Not under any circumstance. Most tiles are non-porous. Linseed oil would not be able to penetrate the tile and would leave an unpleasant greasy film.

The thing to do is to use clean water. For natural stone, please contact us.

Yes. The ambient humidity in showers passes through joints.
It is therefore advisable to apply a waterproof layer.

There are different products available to do this.

QUADRUS recommends using SCHÖMBURG waterproofing products.

We could spend a long time answering this question. But we can summarise our answer in seven points :

• 1. Choose frost-proof floor tiles.
• 2. Never forget that a terrace requires a slope of at least 1cm per metre.
• 3. This remark is equally valid for steps. We often forget the height difference for stairs, and water collects and stagnates.
• 4. Do not position your terrace right on your doorstep.
• 5. Think carefully before choosing light colours, as this may result in a dazzle effect in the sun.
• 6. Do not choose tiles that may be too slippy.
• 7. Consult specialist tiling professionals about drainage, waterproofing and stability issues.

Yes, in theory, it would be better to use an expansion joint if the surface area is over 50m² or 8m in length each way.
