The work of a tiler includes the laying of tiles of ceramics, mosaic or natural stone on walls, floors and staircases in houses, commercial, industrial and public buildings, churches, swimming pools, outside installations, and façades to provide protective and decorative finishes. Wall and floor Tiling work might also include the construction of small walls and steps from bricks or blocks. The tiler contributes in many ways to the completion of a successful project. They will interpret drawings; set out and measure; remove any existing covering; prepare surfaces; group and lay tiles in the desired pattern; and then finish to the highest standard and client specification. Experienced proficient tilers have opportunities to specialize in particular materials such as mosaic, or unique applications such as artistic work, high-end residential, or private or competition venue swimming pools.
