Floor & Wall Tiling

Now that the cabinetry is installed, floor* and wall tiling will be laid to the rooms designated on your building plans. All shower areas will be waterproofed in accordance with the building codes.

Note: You may notice a gap between the tiles and bench tops and corner of showers. This gap will be filled with a silicon seal towards the end of construction.

*Please note that if included in your contract, floor tiling to living areas will be completed at the floor covering stage of construction.
