sWe’s Tiling Guides

Tiling News Dan — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 18:54:05 +0000

TilersForums has a member from Sweden who spent a long time putting together some basic guides with regards to many aspects of wall and floor tiling. The tiling guides started in May 2008 and added to in 2009. The forum ‘thread’ (topic) is still open although hasn’t been replied to for some time. The guides are just that, guides, anybody using them should also seek (up to date) information and facts from their professional wall and floor tiler.

If you read the guides you will see that a lot of thought has gone into putting them together. Topics include:-

Please do read the whole thread as many contributors added their views and experiences. It is probably fair to say that sWe’s wall and floor tiling guides have helped save 10′s of thousands of pounds in failures of wall and floor tiling jobs on bathrooms, kitchens, floors, conservatories and the likes. Possibly hundreds of thousands of tiles have stayed stuck to walls and floors of customers houses a lot longer than they would perhaps have been without tilers reading and taking note of some of the important points raised in the guides.

Todays market in stone tiles seems to be flooded with a lot of commercial grades at cheap cheap prices and it is devaluing the status of stone tiles in the home in my opinion.

Perfect home and garden do not claim to be the cheapest stone supplier around because they do not deal in the cheapest low quality stone. What they do supply is top quality stone and accessory products at very competitive prices.

The cost or time involved in installing your new tiles or paving does not reduce if you buy cheap low quality stone, in fact it may even increase due to higher scrap rates or poor sizing, so why compromise and then regret it every time you look at it.

Mapei UK – http://www.mapei.co.uk/

A look at Mapei from its humble beginnings as a small company on the outskirts of Milan to its current position as a world-leading multinational specialising in adhesives and chemical products for the building industry.

65 years ago, Mapei was just a small company on the outskirts of Milan, dealing mainly in paints, plasters, and interior and exterior covering materials for large buildings, hospitals, and airports.

The big change came when the company began concentrating its efforts on a specific market niche: floor installation products.

This proved a very successful step and Mapei is now a multinational which has neither gone into the red nor laid off workers in all of its years in the business.

Its history is also inextricably linked with that of two generations of the Italian Squinzi family, in particular Rodolfo, who founded the company, and his son Giorgio who has continued his good work.
