What sets this area apart

Most Hateen residential buildings are medium-rise with balconies and exterior walkways exposed to direct sun and temperature swings between summer and winter. The concrete base in this area needs surface preparation to remove salts and dust before any tiling, otherwise bonding failure and cracking will follow within a season or two. We apply full waterproof membrane and set a mortar bed with flexible adhesive that moves with thermal contraction, then grout with water-resistant material.

Hateen is in Hawalli governorate, a residential district of medium-rise buildings with large exterior spaces exposed to direct climate.

Thermal contraction rates for concrete in Kuwait require expansion joints every 1.5 metres minimum on any tiled exterior surface.

Questions about Outdoor tiling in Hateen

Call now
Why does outdoor tiling fail and separate shortly after fixing?

Salts and moisture in the concrete base disrupt adhesion between the mortar and surface. We treat the entire base with mechanical scrubbing and salt-blocking liquid, then apply waterproof membrane before any adhesive.

Should we choose thin or thick tiles for exterior walkways?

Tile thickness is not the main concern; water resistance and thermal movement are. We use thick porcelain tiles (10, 12 mm) with regular expansion joints and flexible adhesive to absorb thermal movement.
