Porcelain Tile Installation in Seattle – Our Process

 

At TK Tile Services, we provide professional porcelain tile installation in Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma, Kirkland, Redmond, and across the Greater Seattle Area. Our process follows industry standards (TCNA, ANSI) and guarantees durability, precision, and long-lasting results.

 

Substrate Preparation

 

We start every tile installation project by inspecting and preparing the surface. The substrate must be:

 

clean, dry, level, and structurally sound (no deflection or movement);

 

free from dust, grease, adhesives, paint, or any substances that can weaken bonding.

 

 

We work with approved substrates such as exterior-grade plywood, cement backer board, concrete, mortar beds, cement plaster, and even existing tile or stone. When double plywood or plywood/cement board assemblies are used, we ensure proper type and thickness are in place for long-term performance.

 

Expansion & Movement Joints

 

To prevent cracks and extend the life of your tile system, we follow Tile Council of North America (TCNA) guidelines EJ-171. Flexible expansion joints are installed:

 

along restraining surfaces (walls, columns, staircases);

 

over cold joints;

 

at regular intervals on large surfaces.

 

 

This practice ensures the integrity of both floor tile installation and wall tile installation in high-stress areas.

 

Thinset Mortar & Setting Materials

 

For each porcelain tile installation, we select the proper setting material:

 

modified thin-set mortar;

 

improved modified thin-set mortar;

 

LHT mortar for large format porcelain tile installation (24x48, 4x8ft, 5x10ft slabs);

 

epoxy mortar for heavy-duty or wet-area applications (showers, steam rooms, commercial kitchens).

 

 

We always provide full mortar coverage beneath the tiles, eliminating voids that could cause cracking or water infiltration.

 

Mixing Procedure

 

We mix all cement-based and epoxy mortars mechanically at low speed (<150 RPM), following the manufacturer’s instructions. Portland cement mortars are allowed to slake (5–10 minutes) before re-mixing to achieve proper consistency and workability.

 

We use only premium grouts for bathroom tile installation, shower tile installation, and kitchen backsplash installation:

 

modified cement-based (sanded or unsanded);

 

epoxy grout for maximum durability, stain resistance, and water protection.

 

 

When there is a strong contrast between grout and tile color (e.g., black grout with white tile), we always test a small sample area to confirm final appearance and ease of cleaning, especially on textured or matte tiles.

 

Sealers & Pre-Grout Protection

 

For polished or abrasive porcelain tile, we apply a temporary tile sealer or release agent before grouting. This prevents grout haze and pigment staining in micro-pores.

 

Cleaning Process

 

We remove grout haze immediately after installation using clean hot water, nylon sponges, and damp cloths. For stubborn residue, we use specialized cleaning solutions safe for porcelain.

 

Protection & Final Cleaning

 

 

After installation, all floors are covered with breathable protective paper to prevent scratches during other construction activities. For final cleanup, we use neutral pH cleaners and wet vacuums to ensure a spotless finish.

 

Extra Materials for Clients

 

We always provide about 5% extra porcelain tile and grout to our clients. This allows for easy future repairs or replacements without worrying about shade variation or discontinued stock.

 

 

With years of experience, advanced tools, and expertise in large format tile installation, bathroom remodeling, shower tile installation, and backsplash installation in Seattle and surrounding cities, we deliver results that combine craftsmanship, durability, and beauty.

 

📍 Service Areas: Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma, Kirkland, Redmond, Issaquah, Sammamish, Everett, Lynnwood, Shoreline, and nearby communities.
