Easy and Quick Bathroom Renovation with New Tiles

Bathroom renovation might seem like a demanding and time-consuming task, but with the right choice of materials, it can be completed easily, quickly, and with excellent aesthetic results. Tiles remain a timeless and popular option for wall and floor coverings, as they combine durability, functionality, and design flexibility.

Choosing the Right Tiles and Preparing the Surface

The success of renovation begins with selecting the right tiles. It is essential to choose materials resistant to moisture and wear, capable of withstanding bathroom conditions. At the same time, proper preparation of the substrate is fundamental. Old coatings should be cleaned or removed if unstable, and the surface must be solid, clean, and level.

In high-moisture areas, such as shower floors or trays, applying a waterproofing system is recommended, such as Kraft Paints' Hydroguard Elastic. This product creates an elastic, watertight membrane that protects the substrate from water penetration and extends the lifespan of the construction.

Tile Adhesion with the Right Products

Choosing the correct tile adhesive is crucial for tile installation. FixoTile Flex 30 is an ideal solution for bathroom walls and floors, offering high flexibility and excellent adhesion, capable of withstanding expansions and contractions due to humidity and temperature changes. It is also compatible with flexible cementitious waterproofing products (EN 14891) before tile application.

For large or heavy tiles, GEL technology from FixoTile GEL and FixoTile GEL MAX provides unique advantages: improved workability, longer open time, and stability even in vertical applications.

Correct tile installation follows basic principles: proper substrate wetting, use of a notched trowel, and consistent pressing to avoid empty spots beneath the tiles.

Grouting – The Detail that Makes the Difference

After tile placement, joints are filled with joint grout suitable for humid environments. Kraft Paints’ FixoGrout One 0-8 offers high resistance and waterproofing and comes in a wide variety of colors to match any aesthetic outcome. Proper grouting enhances surface durability and prevents water penetration.

Special attention is required at joints between different materials or corners, where elastic sealants are used instead of grout. Kraft Paints’ polyurethane sealant and adhesive Joint PU 25 effectively absorbs material movement and prevents cracking.

Protection and Final Finish

For additional protection, especially in areas with direct water contact, a waterproof coating can be applied over the grout and other critical spots. This ensures greater surface longevity and minimizes maintenance needs.

Conclusion

Bathroom renovation with new tiles can be fast and effective when high-quality products are used correctly. Kraft Paints' solutions – such as FixoTile Flex 30, FixoTile GEL, FixoTile GEL MAX tile adhesives, FixoGrout One 0-8 joint grout, Kraft Paints sealants, and the two-component flexible cementitious waterproofing system Hydroguard Elastic – provide all the tools for a bathroom that is not only beautiful but also structurally sound and long-lasting.

Investing in the right materials ensures not only a visually pleasing result but also long-term performance, protection, and user comfort.
