Hair salon with veined white floor tiles

About this job

A commercial job: the floor of a hair salon. Three photos show large glossy white floor tiles veined in gray, with tan and gold streaks running through them.

Large glossy tile shows any uneven edge, which is why a floor like this gets checked for flat before setting. Tile size and the salon’s town weren’t noted; the record just says Chicago area.

1. 01

   Measured and planned

   We check the room’s dimensions and mark layout lines before any tile is set.

2. 02

   Prepared and waterproofed

   Prep depends on the substrate, with waterproofing where the area gets wet.

3. 03

   Set

   Tile goes down to the layout lines, with joints and cuts kept even.

4. 04

   Grouted and sealed

   Grout and any sealer are chosen to suit the tile and how it will be cleaned.

5. 05

   Walked through with the owner

   We go over the finished surface with the owner.
