Ottawa Tile Mechanic
Creating lasting value

About this small business.
Ottawa Tile Mechanic's purpose is building something individual, beautiful, and lasting. By learning a client's vision, applying trade association assemblies to it for longevity, and remembering the details matter.
Anywhere tile is laid, and bathroom renovations.
What's different here?
Imagine walking on your grandmother's china: If it's fully supported, it lasts forever. If there's air underneath, it flexes and cracks over time. Eliminating those hidden air gaps, ensures your tile floors and walls are lasting.


This produces the following results when struck with a hammer.
The other half of the work is ensuring substrates are flat and strong enough to receive tile, but let’s not get lost in the rhubarb patch. Those who want to know more can go here.
This is the only method manufacturers warranty.
Why is this unique?
There are no apprenticeships for tile setting, and trade qualifications are still fledgling in Canada. Thus, use of industry standards is fairly atypical. I actually had to start this business to be free to start using them. Should you find I'm not your cup of tea, I’ll point you to a few others that do as well.
What is the Result?
Manufacturers offer 20+ year warranties on both labor and materials, simply by adhering to trade association methods and manufacturer specs. Ottawa Tile Mechanic provides a 20-year warranty on workmanship when clients choose to implement these proven standards.
Specifically these common installation issues are avoided:
-
Hollow-sounding tile

Leaking showers

Cracking floors with poor deflection ratings.

Lippage between tiles and warped patterns from uneven substrates

Cracked tile and grout from delamination
