Caliza Beige Indoor Porcelain Tiles

For many years we have seen the rising popularity of Beige Paving, and for good reason. With the increasing appreciation for minimalism and quiet luxury, Beige and Cream tones have become the latest home and garden trend. The Caliza Beige Indoor Tiles are ideal if you want to create an understated yet luxurious look, that will pair well with a whole host of colour palettes.

Once properly installed, Caliza Indoor Tiles are long-lasting and durable, making them a smart long-term investment. You can be confident that your flooring will not need to be replaced for many years, regardless of the amount of foot traffic it receives.

Porcelain Tiles are inherently stain-resistant due to their manufacturing process. This resistance makes them ideal for high-use areas like kitchens and bathrooms where spills and stains are common.

Additionally, these tiles require minimal maintenance. After installation, the only upkeep needed is regular sweeping to keep dirt and debris at bay, ensuring your tiles remain pristine with minimal effort.

How to Install Caliza Beige Indoor Porcelain Tiles

Installing indoor porcelain tiles can be a meticulous task, so we recommend hiring a professional for the best results. However, if you are an experienced DIY enthusiast looking to tackle a bigger project, our guide will help you get started.

Materials and Tools Needed:

• Porcelain tiles
• Tile adhesive (thin-set mortar)
• Grout
• Tile spacers
• Tile cutter or wet saw
• Notched trowel
• Grout float
• Level
• Measuring tape
• Rubber mallet
• Sponge and bucket
• Chalk line
• Safety gear (gloves, safety glasses)

Step 1: Prepare the Surface

Clean the Subfloor: Ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, and level. Remove any old flooring, debris, or adhesive residues.

Repair Any Damage: Fix any cracks or uneven areas in the subfloor. If the subfloor is wooden, make sure it is sturdy and free from rot or damage.

Install a Tile Backer Board: For added stability and moisture protection, consider installing a cement backer board over the subfloor. Secure it with appropriate screws and tape the seams with fibreglass mesh tape.

Step 2: Plan Your Layout

Measure the Area: Measure the room and calculate the number of tiles needed, accounting for cuts and wastage.

Dry Layout: Lay out the tiles on the floor without adhesive to determine the best arrangement and minimize cuts. Use a chalk line to mark the center of the room and create a reference point for laying the tiles.

Check for Level: Use a level to ensure the surface is even. If necessary, use a self-levelling compound to even out any low spots.

Step 3: Apply the Adhesive

Mix the Adhesive: Prepare the tile adhesive according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Spread the Adhesive: Using a notched trowel, spread the adhesive over a small section of the floor, starting at the center. Hold the trowel at a 45-degree angle to create ridges in the adhesive.

Step 4: Lay the Tiles

Set the Tiles: Place the first tile at the intersection of the chalk lines. Press it firmly into the adhesive, giving it a slight twist to ensure good contact.

Use Tile Spacers: Insert tile spacers between tiles to maintain even spacing and straight grout lines.

Continue Laying Tiles: Continue laying tiles, working in small sections. Check periodically with a level to ensure the tiles are even.

Cut Tiles as Needed: Use a tile cutter or wet saw to cut tiles to fit along the edges and around obstacles.

Step 5: Grout the Tiles

Let the Adhesive Cure: Allow the adhesive to set according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually 24 hours.

Mix the Grout: Prepare the grout according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Apply the Grout: Using a grout float, spread the grout over the tiles, pressing it into the joints at a 45-degree angle. Remove excess grout with the float.

Clean the Tiles: After the grout has been set for about 15-30 minutes, clean the tiles with a damp sponge to remove grout residue. Rinse the sponge frequently.

Final Cleaning: Once the grout has fully cured (typically 24 hours), do a final cleaning to remove any grout haze from the tile surface.

Step 6: Seal the Grout (Optional)

Apply Grout Sealer: To protect the grout from stains and moisture, apply a grout sealer according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 7: Finishing Touches

Remove Spacers: Once the grout is dry, remove the tile spacers.

Caulk Edges: Apply caulk along the edges where the tiles meet walls, cabinets, or other surfaces to create a clean, finished look and provide flexibility.
