What sets this area apart

Salhiya contains shops, clinics and offices in multi-storey and older buildings. Floors in these units often carry thick old ceramic or stone tiles, and retiling over the existing saves time and reduces dust and debris in an active commercial zone. Before installation we test the old tile adhesion to the concrete using simple methods, and if we find large voids or lost bond we remove those sections and reinforce the base before new installation.

Salhiya sits in the Capital governorate, an older commercial district near Sheraton Hotel and the central shopping complex.

New tiles fixed over old require high-strength adhesive to bridge small voids beneath the surface.

Questions about Tile-over-tile installation in Salhiya

Call now
Can new ceramic be installed over thick old tiles without removing them?

Yes, if the old tiles are firmly bonded to the base. We test adhesion first, remove any loose sections, then prepare the surface and fix new tiles with strong adhesive.

Does installing ceramic over existing tile affect room height or door clearance?

Yes, the new surface will be higher by the added thickness, usually 8 to 12 mm. We check doors and thresholds and ensure adequate clearance before installation.
