Plan tiles, adhesive, grout, spacers, cutting tools, trowels, trims and any preparation or matting required by the substrate.
Plan, Fix and Finish a Tiled Surface
MacBlair stocks the materials and accessories needed to plan, fix and finish tiled walls and floors. The range covers tiles for interior projects, plus the products required for preparation, setting out and final detailing.
Select tile adhesive for the substrate, tile type, location and working time. Consistent joints depend on spacers and careful setting out, while suitable tools make measuring, cutting and spreading more controlled.
After the adhesive has cured, use compatible grout for the tile joints. Trims protect exposed edges, and tile matting can help manage movement beneath selected floor installations. Read each product datasheet before work begins.
Tile FAQ's

Allow for cuts, breakage and future repairs. The percentage depends on tile size, pattern and room layout.
Follow the adhesive, grout and waterproofing cure times. Industry guidance may require a longer wait than the product becomes touch dry.
