DIY floor fitting

Step 1 – Prep the Floor

Make sure the subfloor is clean, dry and smooth. Ditch any old flooring and check your new tiles are all there and undamaged.

Step 2 – Grab Your Gear

You’ll need a utility knife, straight edge, chalk line and adhesive or tacifier – unless you're loose laying.

Step 3 – Let Tiles Chill

Leave your tiles in the room for up to 48 hours to acclimatise. They need a breather.

Step 4 – Kill the Heat

If using adhesive, turn off underfloor heating 48 hours before. Never lay tiles over heating above 27°C or oily concrete.
