Frequently Asked
Question
Waterproofing isn’t just a formality — it’s your first line of defence against costly damage. In areas prone to moisture like bathrooms, kitchens, and laundries, proper waterproofing solutions are essential. But it’s not always obvious when it’s needed. Our team at MK Tiles and Stone will assess your space and advise on whether waterproofing is required. For example, even minor cracks in floors or walls can let moisture seep through and lead to mould growth or structural issues. Trust our Melbourne waterproofing and screeding experts to protect your property with durable, compliant solutions.
Great question! Screeding is a specialised process designed to create a smooth, level surface that’s perfect for tiles or stone. Unlike basic floor levelling, screeding involves applying a cement-based mixture to the floor to ensure both strength and evenness. We use advanced concrete screeding and waterproofing techniques to prepare your space for long-lasting results. This is particularly important for commercial spaces where foot traffic is high, or residential properties that want a flawless finish..
We get it — no one wants their beautiful stone or tile to lose its shine. The good news? With a little care, your surfaces can look stunning for decades. For natural stone, regular sealing is essential to protect against staining and moisture. Porcelain and ceramic tiles, on the other hand, are low-maintenance but still benefit from occasional deep cleaning. Our stone and tile maintenance services include professional sealing, polishing, and repair to keep your surfaces looking brand new. And if you’re unsure which cleaning products to use, we’re always happy to recommend safe, tile-friendly options!
Absolutely! In fact, combining different materials can add texture and character to your space. For example, pairing large-format tiles with natural stone mosaics can create a stunning feature wall or bathroom backsplash. The key is to balance the tones and textures for a cohesive look.
