Floor Tiling
Living areas, kitchens and entrance halls tiled on a level, dry base, a durable choice where damp and humidity can damage softer floor coverings.
Tiles make sense in a humid town where muddy shoes and wet weather are part of daily life. Our tilers lay floors, showers and patios in Knysna that are level, well sealed and easy to keep clean.

These are the flooring and tiling jobs we do for Knysna homes and holiday houses.
Living areas, kitchens and entrance halls tiled on a level, dry base, a durable choice where damp and humidity can damage softer floor coverings.
Showers and bathrooms waterproofed before tiling and finished with sealed grout, so moisture stays in the shower and out of the walls.
Splashbacks tiled behind hobs and sinks in Knysna kitchens, a straightforward way to protect the wall and give the room a fresh look.
Covered patios, braai areas and entrances tiled with non-slip outdoor tiles laid to a fall, so rainwater drains away quickly.
Knysna’s frequent rain and humid air make moisture the main enemy of floors. Concrete slabs need to be dry before tiling, and ground floors on damp or sloping sites sometimes need a damp barrier or extra preparation so moisture does not push up through the tiles and break down the grout.
Outdoor areas are used a lot in this setting, with patios looking onto the lagoon, forest or garden. Because they are wet so often, outside tiles need a good grip underfoot, a proper slope for drainage and grout that resists algae, otherwise they become slippery and stained.
We lift old flooring, check the slab for damp and level, and lay a screed where needed so the new tiles sit flat and firm.
Shower areas are waterproofed, given time to cure and then tiled with a fall to the drain. Joints around taps, niches and corners are sealed carefully.
Outdoor tiles are laid with the right adhesive, slope and movement joints, so they drain well and stay safe to walk on when wet.
You can buy tiles yourself or ask us to supply them as part of the quote. If you are choosing your own, we suggest picking a slip-resistant finish for patios, entrances and bathrooms, and sending us the tile size and room measurements before you buy, so we can tell you how many boxes to order with enough spare for cuts.
