Tiling in Cluj-Napoca

About this service

Properly laid tiling means not just a beautiful look but a durable, easy-to-maintain surface for years. The specialist prepares and levels the substrate, applies the right adhesive, lays tiles straight and level, cuts precisely around sockets and corners, and finishes the joints with water-resistant grout. The waterproofing of a bathroom and the resistance of a floor to traffic and moisture depend on correct installation. An experienced tiler recommends the right materials, calculates the quantities needed, and delivers work with even grout lines and tidy corners.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth investing in higher-quality tiles?

Yes, premium tiles are more resistant to wear, scratches, and stains. The price difference between basic and premium tiles can be 20-100 RON/sqm, but the 15-20 year durability justifies the investment.

What tiles are suitable for terraces or outdoor use?

Outdoor use requires tiles with low water absorption (under 3%), frost resistance, and anti-slip surfaces. Glazed or unglazed porcelain stoneware is the most popular choice for terraces.

Does the tiler also install tile skirting boards?

Yes, tilers usually also install tile skirting boards that finish the joint between floor and wall. Make sure to mention this detail when discussing the job.

How much does tiling cost in Cluj-Napoca?

Labor for tile installation ranges from 30 to 90 RON/sqm, depending on tile type and job complexity. For a complete bathroom, the total cost (including materials) can be between 2,000 and 7,000 RON, depending on surface area and material quality.

How long does it take to tile a bathroom?

A standard bathroom of 5-8 sqm takes 2-4 working days to tile. If demolition, surface prep, or screeding is needed, the timeframe can extend to 5-7 days.

What's the difference between floor tiles and wall tiles?

Floor tiles are harder and more wear-resistant, suitable for high-traffic areas. Wall tiles (faience) are lighter and typically used on walls. Some glazed floor tiles can be used on walls, but wall tiles are not recommended for floors.
