Bedding & Levelling
Prepare Your Floor For Tiling
Bedding and Levelling are crucial steps in the tiling process that are often overlooked. A level floor is essential for a successful and long-lasting tiled floor project. As such, solid floor preparation is needed.
An unlevel or poorly prepared floor can result in tiles cracking, breaking or coming loose, costing you thousands of dollars to repair.

Leave It To The Professionals
Due to the importance of this step, bedding and levelling are best left to the professionals. A good tiling contractor will have a trained eye and years of experience in spotting issues and problems. Craig Thorne Tiling has been perfecting the art of tiling for more than 25 years and as such we have a strong eye for detail.
Before tiling an area, we assess whether a floor is level or requires bedding. We inspect the floor for any imperfections or damages that may hinder the tiling process.
In most cases, the floor is ready for tiling. However, a slab may be poured out to level the surface and will require more preparation work. While this may seem like a laborious and time-consuming task, this preparation ensures that your floor tiles are fully supported and the outcome is flat and without “lippy” tiles.
The Levelling & Bedding Process
When a floor needs to be raised or flattened, a levelling compound is used. A thin concrete-like mixture is poured and spread over existing floor to fill any low spots on the floor.
Similarly, when water drainage is required in an area, bedding before tiling is needed. This process is often used in showers, bathrooms, balconies and pool areas. Here bedding is designed to direct water flow towards a specific drain point.
