Professional Tile & Stone Laying
Båstad • High-precision porcelain tiling for luxury bathrooms and hallways
In this project, we executed an exclusive tiling job for a newly built villa in Båstad. The client requested a modern, minimalist look featuring large-format porcelain tiles in both the master bathroom and the connecting hallway. The main focus was perfectly straight grout lines, minimal joints, and seamless flow.
Challenges with Large Format Tiles
Laying large-format tiles (60x120 cm) requires a perfectly level substrate. Any substrate unevenness shows up instantly. We also had to meticulously plan the tile layout so that the hallway grid aligned perfectly with the bathroom drain and doorways.
Solutions & Steps
Our certified tilers carried out the work with high precision:
- Inspecting and grinding the concrete slab to achieve optimal adhesive bond.
- Self-leveling screed application with fiber reinforcement to establish precise falls to the drain.
- Applying BKR-approved waterproofing membrane in all wet areas.
- Double-back buttering the tiles to guarantee 100% adhesive coverage and void-free laying.
- Utilizing a mechanical tile leveling system to eliminate any tile lippage.
- Grouting with color-matched premium grout and sealing corners with sanitary silicone.
Project Results
A durable and visually stunning tiling job that enhances the entire home:
- Precision: Flawlessly aligned tiles with millimeter precision around corners and drains.
- Aesthetics: Large-format tiles deliver a luxurious, spacious, and modern look.
- Waterproofing: 100% moisture-secure installation backed by official wet room certificates.
- ROT savings: The client benefited from the 30% ROT labor tax deduction directly on the invoice.
FAQ about Tiling in Båstad
What is the advantage of large-format tiles?
They minimize grout lines, creating a cleaner, more continuous surface that is also much easier to clean than smaller tiles.
Can you lay tiles directly on wooden subfloors?
No, wood expands and contracts too much. The subfloor must first be stiffened, typically using cement boards or self-leveling compound with mesh reinforcement.
How much does it cost to hire a tiler in Båstad?
