Tiler Wall and Floor
Wall and floor tilers lay ceramic, clay, slate, marble,
glass and other types of tiles on external and internal walls
and floors to provide protective and decorative finishes.
A wall and floor tiler may perform the following tasks:
- look at plans, measure and mark surfaces to be covered
and lay out work
- prepare wall and floor surfaces by removing old tiles,
grout, cement and adhesive
- fill all holes and cracks, and then clean surfaces
- attach tiles to surfaces, using correct adhesive, making
sure that patterned tiles match
- use tile-cutting tools to cut and shape tiles needed for
edges, corners, or around obstacles such as fittings and
pipes
- space and even the tiles by using tools such as spirit
levels, squares and plumb-lines
- prepare and apply grout, remove excess grout, clean and
polish tiles
- lay floors of cement, granolithic, terrazzo or similar
composition
- apply waterproofing systems.
Wall and floor tilers sometimes work in confined areas
which require bending and kneeling. They lift and carry cement
and stacks of tiles. They sometimes work at heights using
ladders or scaffolding. Most tilers work in small teams and
move frequently from one job location to another.
