Porcelain and Ceramic Tile Installation in Dubai
Porcelain and ceramic tiles cover most floors and walls in Dubai homes. Porcelain is dense and tough enough for floors and outdoors, while ceramic is lighter and easy to cut for walls. We install both, from small wall tiles to large format porcelain slabs, with the right adhesive for each.

- Easy cuts
- Lower cost
Formats
Porcelain and Ceramic Formats
Large Format Porcelain
60 x 120 cm and bigger for fewer joints. Needs a very flat base. Two-person handling and clips.
Wood-Look Porcelain
Plank tiles that look like timber. Waterproof and tough. Staggered at a third to avoid lippage.
Standard Floor Tiles
60 x 60 cm porcelain is the Dubai standard. Easy to match. Quick to lay.
Wall Ceramics
Glossy or matt wall tiles. Easy to cut around fittings. Ideal for bathrooms and kitchens.
Porcelain Needs Better Adhesive
Porcelain absorbs almost no water, so basic cement adhesives do not grip it well. Polymer-modified C2 adhesives are the minimum.
Wood-look plank tiles have a slight bow. Staggering joints at a third of the length, not half, keeps the floor flat.

Porcelain and Ceramic 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.
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.
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.
