Why it is important to prepare surfaces before painting or tiling?
Proper preparation makes a big difference to how well finishing materials perform.
Fillers are used to repair cracks, dents and uneven areas before decorating. Once the surface is smooth and stable, paints and coatings will apply more evenly.
For tiling work, products such as floor levellers, waterproofing systems and tile adhesives help create a stable base before tiles are installed. Surface protection products are also commonly used on site to protect floors and surrounding areas while work is taking place.
FAQ’s:
Which filler should I use for deeper holes or damaged plaster?
For deeper repairs, powdered fillers such as Easi-Fill 60 are commonly used because they can be built up in layers and sand back smoothly once dry.
Do floor levellers need to be applied before tiling?
Floor levellers are typically used when the subfloor isn’t perfectly flat. Creating a level surface helps tiles sit evenly and improves the final finish.
When should waterproofing kits be used before tiling?
Waterproofing systems are normally used in wet areas such as bathrooms, showers or utility rooms to protect the substrate before tiles are installed.
What are Correx sheets used for on site?
Correx sheets are often used to protect finished floors, staircases and surfaces during construction or decorating work to prevent damage while work continues.
