Floor Tile Installation in Dubai
Floor tiles need to be flat, fully bedded and given room to move. Hollow spots crack, lips catch toes and floors without movement joints tent up in summer. We lay porcelain, ceramic and stone floor tiles level on prepared screeds, with full adhesive coverage and movement joints.

Process
How We Lay Floor Tiles
- Step 1
Check the Base
Screed level, moisture and strength are checked.
- Step 2
Plan Layout
Centre lines are marked so cuts are even at walls.
- Step 3
Lay and Clip
Tiles are fully bedded and levelled with clips.
- Step 4
Grout and Joint
Floors are grouted and movement joints sealed.
Movement Joints in Dubai Heat
Floors expand in heat, especially near glass doors and on ground floors. Perimeter gaps and flexible joints in large floors stop tiles from tenting.
Large format tiles are popular, but they need a very flat base. We level the screed first where needed.
For walls, see wall tile installation. For levelling, see floor levelling, and for repairs, cracked tile replacement.

Floor Tile Installation: FAQs
What Is the Cost of Laying Floor Tiles per Square Metre in Dubai?
Labour for floor tiling starts from AED 45 per square metre and wall tiling from AED 55 per square metre for standard porcelain and ceramic. Large format, mosaic and natural stone cost more because they take longer to set. Prices vary and can change depending on your exact requirements, the materials and access to the property, so the final price is confirmed after we see photos or visit.
Can You Tile Over Existing Tiles?
Often, yes, if the old tiles are flat, firmly bonded and not hollow. We test them, prime with a bonding primer and use a suitable adhesive. Door heights and floor levels are checked first.
How Long Does Tile Installation Take?
A bathroom usually takes three to five days including waterproofing and curing. A kitchen splashback is often done in a day. Floors depend on the area and tile size.
Should I Hire a Professional or Tile It Myself?
Small splashbacks can be a DIY project. Floors, wet areas and large format tiles need flat preparation, waterproofing and precise setting, and mistakes are costly to undo.
