Tile installation for your renovation
Bathroom tile & custom showers
Plan bathroom tile installation around the floor, walls and wet areas. For a bathroom renovation or shower renovation, discuss the custom shower tile layout, waterproofing and transitions before installation. Share the wider renovation scope so responsibilities for other trades can be agreed.
Kitchen backsplashes & floor tile
Kitchen tile installation can cover a new backsplash, flooring or both. For a kitchen renovation, bring the tile dimensions and layout, cabinet and countertop details, and the locations of outlets and edges that affect the cuts.
Porcelain, ceramic & natural stone
Porcelain tile, ceramic tile, natural stone tile and large-format tile have different preparation and handling needs. Discuss the existing surface, tile thickness, grout joints and transitions to adjoining floors as part of your floor tile installation.
Residential & commercial tile contractors
A clear installation scope helps homeowners, renovators and contractors compare work on the same basis.
For homeowners
Planning tile work in Toronto, Etobicoke or elsewhere in the GTA? Send room dimensions, photos and your material choices. Alba Stone can discuss the residential tile installation scope and what needs to be ready before work begins.
For general contractors
For commercial tile installation, share drawings, tile schedules, finish specifications, quantities and access requirements. Include the proposed sequence of work and any coordination needed with other trades.
Preparation & project scope
Existing tile replacement, substrate levelling and heated-floor tile preparation need to be assessed as part of the installation scope. Identify removal needs and the heating system early so preparation and any separate electrical work can be coordinated.
Planning your tile installation
What affects the cost of tile installation?
Area, tile size and material, layout complexity, substrate condition and waterproofing requirements affect the scope. A small backsplash and a shower need different preparation. Request a tile quote with measurements and photos for a project-specific discussion.
What should I send for a bathroom or shower tile quote?
Include photos of the current space, approximate dimensions, your preferred tile and the areas to be tiled. Mention whether this is part of a bathroom renovation, what removal is planned, and whether waterproofing or heated-floor preparation needs to be included.
Can I discuss a commercial installation with Alba Stone?
Yes. Send the project drawings, finish schedule, location and expected installation dates. Note site access, other trades and any phased work so the commercial tile scope can be reviewed.
Do you serve my Toronto or GTA neighbourhood?
Alba Stone serves Toronto, including Etobicoke, and the Greater Toronto Area. Include your project location when you contact Alba Stone to confirm availability and the work required.
THE INSTALLATION DETAILS
The finish depends
on what comes first.
A sound foundation
Substrate condition, leveling and waterproofing requirements should be assessed before tile is set.
A considered system
Setting materials, grout and movement joints should suit the tile and its intended use.
A precise finish
Layout, large-format tile handling, heated-floor preparation and clean transitions all deserve attention.
