A perfectly-prepared foundation is a key element to a flawless tile installation. Whether your subfloors are concrete or wood, the same rules apply: you will want to carefully clean the area, removing absolutely all traces of old flooring, debris, staples, and other refuse. Your subfloor will need to be cleaned and dried thoroughly, with any holes or imperfections sealed with caulking long before the tile can be installed. A primer or sealer will then be applied, which must also be dried before you or your contractor can begin laying the tiles.
