Creative Tiling Qld Pty Ltd

Kitchen splashbacks serve both functional and aesthetic purposes, protecting the walls from splashes and stains while adding a stylish touch to the space. When it comes to removing an old splashback and installing a new one, Creative Tiling techniques can simplify the process and offer innovative design options. Here are the steps involved:

1. Remove the old splashback: Start by carefully removing the existing tiles or splashback material using appropriate tools, such as a chisel or scraper. Ensure that the wall surface is clean and smooth before proceeding.
2. Prepare the surface: Thoroughly clean and prime the wall to create a suitable base for the new splashback. Fill any cracks or holes and ensure the surface is level and dry.
3. Choose the tile type: There are various tile options available for kitchen splashbacks, including ceramic, porcelain, glass, subway tiles, mosaic tiles, or even natural stone. Select a tile type that suits your desired style and maintenance preferences.
4. Plan the layout: Consider the design and pattern you want for your splashback. Creative Tiling techniques like herringbone, chevron, or geometric patterns can add visual interest and make your kitchen stand out.
5. Prepare the tiles: If needed, cut the tiles to fit the designated areas using a tile cutter or wet saw. Ensure precise measurements to achieve a professional finish.

1. Apply the adhesive: Apply a suitable tile adhesive or mortar to the wall, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Spread the adhesive evenly and work in small sections to prevent it from drying out.
2. Install the tiles: Carefully press the tiles into the adhesive, aligning them according to your planned layout. Use tile spacers to maintain even spacing between the tiles. Adjust as necessary to achieve a seamless appearance.
3. Grouting: Once the adhesive has cured, remove the spacers and apply grout between the tiles. Choose a grout color that complements your design and follow the recommended mixing and application instructions.
4. Clean and seal: After the grout has dried, clean the tiles to remove any grout residue. Apply a tile and grout sealer to protect the surface from stains and make maintenance easier.

Creative Tiling can simplify the process by offering unique tile designs, patterns, and layout options that enhance the visual appeal of your kitchen splashback.
