The Art of Professional Tiling in Bathroom Renovations: Calgary Style

When it comes to bathroom renovations in Calgary, the details matter — and few details are as visible (or as vital) as the tile work. At Calgary Home Renovations | LBProjects, we believe that a beautifully tiled bathroom isn't just about laying down tile — it's about precision, planning, and a touch of artistry.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how the pros (like us) handle tiling for Calgary bathroom renovations — from prep to pattern, with a nod to our tilers’ unique relationship with time.

What Goes Into Professional Bathroom Tiling? A Behind-the-Scenes Look

1. Prep Like a Pro

Great tiling starts well before the first tile is laid. Prep work is where success begins:

• Substrate Inspection: Whether it’s cement board or drywall, we ensure the surface is solid, level, and properly fastened.

• Floor levelling: If your floor's more roller coaster than runway, we fix that before the first tile goes down.

• Layout Planning: We map out the tile layout so cuts land where they’re least visible — no “just winging it” here.

A rushed prep is a recipe for regret. Proper prep saves time, material, and your sanity — learn more about our renovation process.

2. Cleanliness is Next to Tile-Godliness

We take jobsite cleanliness seriously. Not just for aesthetics, but because a clean workspace:

• Prevents debris from affecting adhesion

• Keeps grout lines crisp and consistent

• Shows respect for your home (and your socks)

We use floor protection, dust control systems, and yes — we actually clean up after ourselves. Revolutionary, we know.

3. Waterproofing Like It’s 2025 (Because It Is)

Tile might be waterproof, but your bathroom isn’t unless the prep is.

We use Schluter Systems for top-tier waterproofing — a smart investment for long-term durability. From KERDI board behind your shower walls to DITRA under tile floors, we create a sealed system that protects your home for decades to come.

Think of it as the tile’s secret bodyguard — invisible, but essential using modern systems.

4. Pattern Power: It’s Not Just “Straight Lines” Anymore

We’re fluent in all the tile languages:

• Herringbone

• Chevron

• Brick/Stack Bond

• Diagonal

• Modular and mixed-tile patterns

Whether you’re after classic elegance or bold geometry, we can make it happen and we’ll walk you through how each pattern affects cost, cutting time, and final look — no surprises, just great design.

5. Tilers and Timekeeping: A Love-Hate Story

Tilers are artists. Artists don't always love... clocks. But at Calgary Home Renovations | LBProjects, we’ve cracked the code. We balance creativity and punctuality — though we still think “I’ll be there first thing” is open to interpretation before coffee.

(Just kidding... mostly.)
