What sets this area apart

Hateen has residential apartments and villas of varying ages, many built ten years or more ago. In these older units, the original tile may be loose or cracked in spots, but the substrate is sound. We check adhesion using mechanical and acoustic methods to find voids, then grind and clean the surface and apply a strong bonding agent before setting new tiles with precision.

Hateen is located in Hawalli governorate and is a relatively older residential area dominated by apartment blocks and villas.

We check the thickness of the original mortar bed under old tiles to ensure the new surface meets specification.

Questions about Tile-over-tile installation in Hateen

Will the old tile remain under the new tile?

Yes, if it is firmly bonded. We use acoustic testing on each area, remove only voids or cracked sections, then apply a strong bonding layer on the cleaned surface.

How much height does the new tile add to the existing floor?

It depends on tile thickness, adhesive and bed layer. Usually 1 to 1.5 centimetres. This may affect door openings and thresholds, so we check that beforehand with the client.
