A bathroom renovation is one of the most rewarding upgrades a homeowner can invest in, but it requires precision, high-quality materials, and expert craftsmanship. At leading Toronto general contractor D2 Build Inc., we specialize in transforming bathrooms with premium tile and floor solutions designed for durability, aesthetics, and long-term protection against moisture.
What Lies Beneath the Tile? The Key to a Lasting Bathroom Floor and Wall
When you see a beautifully tiled bathroom, it’s easy to admire the finished look, but what’s underneath is just as important. Before laying down any tile and floor surfaces, we take extra care to ensure the surface is properly prepared with waterproof membrane, preventing common issues like water damage, shifting tiles, and cracking grout.
At D2 Build we use Schluter products to create a fully waterproof and stable foundation for tiling. For walls, we install a KERDI board, which is a half-inch-thick orange panel that provides a secure and waterproof surface for tiles. This ensures that even if water were to penetrate through the grout lines, the walls beneath remain completely dry.
For the floors, we use DITRA, an innovative uncoupling membrane that protects tiles from cracking due to movement in the subfloor. It also serves as a waterproof barrier, preventing moisture from seeping through to the underlying structure. This is particularly essential in bathrooms, where constant exposure to water can lead to costly repairs if not properly managed.
Why Waterproofing Matters in Bathroom Renovations
Bathrooms are exposed to moisture daily, and improper waterproofing can lead to mold growth, rot, and expensive structural issues. Our expert team at D2 Build takes every precaution to ensure your bathroom renovation is built to last, using industry-leading techniques and materials that protect against leaks and wear. We have worked on a few bathrooms in the past year that the homeowners had renovated in just the previous 2-3 years, and this is always so unfortunate to see.
Whether you’re planning a modern spa-like retreat or a sleek, minimalist upgrade, investing in high-quality tiling solutions will enhance both the beauty and longevity of your space. Choosing a Toronto general contractor with experience in waterproofing and tile installation ensures a stress-free renovation process with long-term benefits.
