Substrate preparation
We cleaned the base, checked its flatness and applied primer.

Herringbone clinker tile floor
We laid 11 m² of 50×150 mm clinker tiles in a classic herringbone pattern. We set out the layout and maintained the pattern and consistent joint widths.
Materials and details
The 50×150 mm clinker tiles were laid in a classic herringbone pattern. Setting out the main axis and continuously checking the joints kept the pattern geometry consistent.

Work progress
From checking the base and setting out the starting line to herringbone installation, pattern control and grouting.
Setting out
We set out the main axis of the room and made a trial layout, allowing for cuts along the walls.
Tile installation
We applied tile adhesive and laid the 50×150 mm clinker tiles in a classic herringbone pattern.
Pattern control
We checked the direction of the pattern, the level of the floor and the joint widths, using tile spacers.
Grouting
After the adhesive had cured, we removed the spacers, cleaned the joints and filled them with grout.
