Tiling kitchen backsplash
1.200.100 kr.
I'm looking for help with a job in my kitchen: Install 204 artisanal clay tiles, 5×5 cm each, as a kitchen backsplash. See attached pictures of tiles and exact tile layout. The tiles are handmade: they have a 3D textured surface and are slightly irregular in shape and dimension, so they'll need a careful eye for spacing, alignment, and grout lines rather than a purely mechanical grid. Critical requirement: the tiles must be installed in a specific order to form a particular image (a snake design). I'll provide a numbered layout map/diagram, and the tiles need to follow it exactly. Please plan a way to keep the sequence organized during installation (l can lay out the full pattern dry before fixing). Please confirm whether you'll supply adhesive, grout, spacers, and any leveling/edging trim, or whether I should provide them. Note the irregular tiles may need a flexible approach to spacers. Spacing approach: because the tiles vary slightly in size, fixed spacers won't work — a constant joint width would gradually offset the rows and throw off the alignment. Instead, a reference grid should be drawn directly on the wall and each tile aligned to it, allowing the grout joint width to vary slightly tile-to-tile to absorb the size differences and keep the overall pattern true and square. Some tiles will need to be cut (along the left side wall). To discuss / confirm: Materials and tools you can supply vs. what I should provide. Any prep you need from me beforehand (e.g. clearing the area, surface conditioning, laying out tile pattern, drawing grid on wall, etc.).
