    Hi. I will be moving into a new house. The kitchen is tiled already but I would like to tile the living room floor approximately 16m squared. If I was to purchase the materials myself how much would I be looking at for a tradesperson in labour to install? The floor at the moment is concrete and screed so I imagine the floor is ready to be tiled

    best bathroom tiles for durability and cleaning

    I’d like to have new tiles fitted to my bathroom. What are the best types/materials I should go for when looking for durability? Our previous bathroom tiles developed a lot of problems over the years and we’re looking to replace them as they seem beyond repair at this point. We’d like tiles that are easy to maintain/clean and that are durable. What would you recommend?

    Tiling a Rooftop Patio

    Good day. I have a rooftop patio off of my kitchen on my third floor apartment. I recently removed the old decking to find the roof (normal flat, black, felt? apartment building roofing) is in fine shape--thankfully. Now, I'd like to install exterior ceramic/porcelain tiles. Can I put adhesive right on the roofing, or do I need a cement substrate first? The slope is already well structured towards the drain and so I'd like to avoid using self-leveler/skreed if possible? Thanks in advance for any guidance.
