Tiling techniques — pro tips
Start with clean, level substrate and the right self levelling compound Kegret where necessary. Use kegret self levelling products before you start if the floor is uneven — they save time and reduce breakage. For porcelain and large-format tiles, pair levelling plates with kegret level checks regularly to maintain a perfect plane. 📏
If you’re cutting tiles, the right cutter matters. Kegret recommends electric tile cutters Kegret for straight, crisp cuts on porcelain; they’re safer and far quicker than manual tools for repeated cuts. ⚡️
Fixing, finishing & maintenance
For removing stubborn tiles or adjusting layouts, the tile removal tool Kegret is a lightweight must-have. Keep a kegret tile file handy to ease sharp edges from cut tiles and to ensure tidy joints. When grouting, a grout tool toolstation (or equivalent) helps you compact grout evenly and remove excess with minimal smearing. 🧰
Outdoor & paving solutions
For external projects the paving pedestals Kegret and adjustable levelling feet Kegret range deliver adjustable, drainable support for decks and terraces. Combine with paving slab spacers Kegret for correct joint widths and water flow. These systems are brilliant for terraces, balconies and public paving. 🌧️🌿
Where to use each spacer size?
Use 1mm tile spacers (e.g. kegret 1mm tile spacers) for ultra-fine joints on large-format porcelain; 2mm tile spacers / tile spacers 2mm are a versatile everyday choice; 3mm tile spacers kegret and 5mm spacers kegret suit textured or outdoor tiles where movement or drainage is required; 10mm tile spacers kegret for paving or features that demand larger gaps.
A short installation checklist ✅
- Sweep and clean substrate; apply self levelling compound Kegret if needed.
- Dry lay tiles and use 2mm spacers or the size suited to the tile and joint design.
- Use levelling plates and kegret pliers to lock clips and wedges quickly.
- Check level with kegret level diagonally across large tiles.
- Allow adhesive to cure, then remove wedges and finish with grout using a grout tool toolstation or similar.
