Yes, it is possible to apply IVAS tiles on tiles, but there are some important considerations to keep in mind. First, the existing tiles must be clean, dry, and in good condition. Any loose or cracked tiles should be removed and the surface should be repaired and leveled before installing the new tiles.
Secondly, the additional height of the new tiles will need to be taken into account, as this can affect the height of fixtures such as toilets, sinks, and doors. If the added height is significant, it may be necessary to remove the existing tiles and start with a clean surface.
When installing new tiles over existing tiles, it's important to use an appropriate adhesive designed for this purpose. The adhesive should be able to bond strongly to both the existing tiles and the new tiles, and should be flexible enough to accommodate any movement in the underlying surface. A high-quality tile adhesive and grout should be used, and it's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for application.
Yes, Glazed Vitrified Tiles (GVT) can be installed on walls, although they are more commonly used as flooring. GVT tiles are made of high-quality porcelain, and they are known for their durability, strength, and resistance to stains and scratches. They also come in a wide range of colours, patterns, and designs, making them a popular choice for both residential and commercial projects.
When installing GVT tiles on walls, it's essential to ensure that the surface is clean, flat, and free of any dirt or debris. The tiles can be fixed to the wall using a high-quality tile adhesive, and grout can be applied to fill the gaps between the tiles. It's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation and to ensure that the tiles are properly sealed to prevent any moisture from seeping through the grout lines and damaging the wall or the tiles.
To calculate the number of tiles required for a given area, you need to know the size of the tiles, the size of the area to be tiled, and the size of any gaps between the tiles that will be filled with grout. Here are the steps to follow:
Measure the length and width of the area to be tiled in meters or feet. For irregularly shaped areas, you may need to break it down into smaller sections and measure each section separately.
Determine the size of the tiles you plan to use. Tiles come in various sizes, such as 30cm x 30cm, 60cm x 60cm, etc. Note down the length and width of each tile in the same unit of measurement as the area.
Decide on the spacing between the tiles. The gap between tiles is usually between 2-3mm. However, it can vary depending on the type of tile and the design.
Calculate the area of each tile by multiplying its length and width.
Calculate the total area of the wall or floor by multiplying its length and width.
Determine the number of tiles required by dividing the total area of the wall or floor by the area of each tile. Add 10% to the result to account for wastage and cuts.
Round up the number of tiles to the nearest whole number.
There are several types of finishes that are commonly used in tiles, including:
Glossy : A glossy finish is a smooth, shiny surface that reflects light well. It can create a sleek and modern look and is easy to clean.
High Gloss : A high gloss finish on tiles refers to a shiny, reflective surface that has been achieved through a particular manufacturing process. The surface of the tiles is polished to a very high degree, which creates a smooth, shiny surface that reflects light, giving the tiles a bright and lustrous appearance. High gloss finish tiles are often used in areas where a sleek and modern look is desired, such as in bathrooms, kitchens, and other areas where the tiles are used as decorative elements.
Matte : Matte finish tiles have a granular and hard surface with a non-reflective matte finish. They help to create a rustic or traditional look. Their surface is less prone to the visual effects of scratching. They hide dirt well and are a great compromise between slip resistance and the ability to easily clean the tile surface.
Polished : A polished finish is similar to a glossy finish but has a higher level of shine and a smoother surface. It can make a room look more luxurious and can be used in a variety of styles. However, it can be more expensive than other finishes.
Carving : A Carving finish has a rough or uneven surface that can create a more natural or rustic look. It can be used to add depth and interest to a room and is often used in outdoor or high-traffic areas because it provides better traction.
SUGAR : Sugar Finishes are great for high traffic areas. They're durable and withstand lots of wear and tear while also being easy to clean or maintain. It's best if you consider what type of pattern or design you want for your tiles before choosing a sugar finish tiles because some patterns might not hold up well against the shine.
Rustic : Rustic finish tiles are perfect for those who want a home with a mix of old and new elements. There are many different types of rustic finishes which will give your space different feels - from modern, to farmhouse, to traditional - so you can explore all your options before choosing what you love best!
