Why choose tile for your bathroom redesign?

There are many reasons homeowners choose ceramic tile for their bathroom and shower redesigns. The first is that tile is timeless; it has been around for centuries and is one of the most popular design options worldwide. Tile offers homeowners an incredible array of designs and themes to choose from, and tile is affordable. It is easy to clean, easy to maintain, and nothing says freshness like sparkling tile.

Tile adhesion is the key to success

An important tip that any professional interior decorator will tell you is that the tile must adhere to the surface properly if one wants a truly successful result. For decades, tile manufacturers have toiled over creating adhesion products and systems that would allow for secure, waterproof adhesion of their products. Many times they failed. But, now, there is a very reliable system available, and it can be found at Sanford Flooring.

What are Schluter Shower Systems?

To avoid confusion, Schluter does NOT manufacture showers or plumbing components. What they do produce are tile installation products that are specific to the tile industry. Their adhesion systems ensure that tile installations (especially those used within showers) maintain their adhesion integrity and durability. Schluter Shower Systems provide all of the major components for tiling showers such as uncoupling membranes, tile trims, floor heating systems, and waterproof building panels.

Bathroom tile renovations are some of the most popular home improvements that property owners undertake not only in America but also around the world. The reasons for this are clear: a newly renovated bathroom brings freshness and vibrancy to any home, and increases its value. It is a great way to add equity to your home, while enjoying the benefits on a daily basis. For many homeowners, the addition or renovation of tile is the prime goal, and this is where Sanford Flooring stands above all others in the Sanford, ME area.

How does it work with tiles?

For showers specifically, it begins with a pliable, durable sheeting of waterproof membrane that also acts as a vapor retarder. This remarkable membrane is composed of high-quality soft polyethylene, both sides covered with a special fleece webbing that securely anchors the membrane into thin-set mortar. Your new tiles are then installed directly onto this sheeting using the thin-bed method. The results are you get a very secure, waterproof adhesion that will last for years.
