What sets this area apart

Salmi is a border area near the Salmi crossing on the Kuwait-Iraq boundary, with mixed commercial buildings and small residential units on medium-sized plots. The border environment is harsh with dust and seasonal moisture and extreme climate, and old tile in these buildings suffers rapid cracking and loosening. We test the bond carefully, remove accumulated salt and dust, then apply moisture and salt-resistant adhesive to ensure the new tile stays solid in border conditions.

Salmi is in Jahra governorate on the Kuwait-Iraq border region near the Salmi crossing.

Border salt and dust accumulate under old tile faster than in other areas, weakening the bond.

Questions about Tile-over-tile installation in Salmi

Will new tile hold up in the damp and dusty border conditions?

Yes, but we use salt and moisture-resistant adhesive and provide calibrated expansion gaps. We test for moisture under the old tile and dry the surface before new installation.

How do you remove salt and dust from under old tile in Salmi?

We test the bond first, then scrape out weak layers with a tool. We wash the surface with fresh water, clean it, and dry it completely before applying the new base.
