Wall
Tiling
Regency Construction is able to supply and install a range of wall
tiles.
For sucessful
tiling
the
wall needs to be sufficiently flat. As a general guide there should be
no deviations more than 3mm in 1.8m. As a rule, the larger the tile -
the flatter the surface needs to be.
Should the wall not be sufficiently flat then Regency Construction can
normally rectify this problem by re-plastering (see
Plastering).
The wall to be tiled also needs to be clean, dry and free from any
contamination. The wall will need to be sufficiently strong to support
the tiling finish.
By using the trade quality
tiling
primers and trade quality
tiling
adhesives, Regency Construction can apply tiles to the
following wall surfaces:
- New Plaster
- Painted Plaster
- Plasterboard
- Plywood
- Tiling Backing Boards

Wall tiling can be professional completed with colour coordinated
tile trims and
colour cordinated grouts.

Tiling
Regency Construction is able to supply and install a range of wall
tiles.
For sucessful
tiling
the floor needs to be sufficiently flat. As a general guide there
should be no deviations more than 3mm in 3m. As with wall tiling, the
larger the tile - the flatter the surface needs to be.
Should the floor not be sufficiently flat then Regency Construction can
normally rectify this problem either using floor screeding (see
Screeding)
or using Tile Backing boards.
The floor to be tiled also needs to be clean, dry and free from any
contamination.
By using the trade quality
tiling
