Tiling DIY tiling projects are hugely popular, with enthusiasts making a statement with tiled furniture, walls and floors. The first step when tiling, says Nicole Budge of Johnson Tiles, is to create a hazard-free work zone. “Turn off the water and electricity supply to the area, ensure it’s well ventilated and, before cutting tiles, put on the correct PPE safety glasses, dust mask with a P3 class filter, overhead ear protection and a long-sleeve shirt and long pants.” Cutting tiles with a manual ‘score and snap tile cutter or wet saw is best, but if using a dry cutting tool, you will need to create a safe zone where flying debris and tile fragments will not hit anyone and can be contained with shields. Wear knee pads and rubber gloves when applying grout to floors. If working with heavy tiles or large quantities, enlist help when lifting and consider moving them with a hand trolley. Hooks and shelving Creating a focal wall of artworks or floating shelves is a great weekend project. But before drilling holes, check what's behind the wall. A good stud finder not only helps you find timber to hammer into, it detects hidden dangers. For example, the Bosch GMS 120 wall detector alerts you to the location of studs, metals and live wires up to a depth of 120mm in most plasterboard, brick and concrete walls. To prevent potential accidents later, choose a picture hanging kit suited to the weight of your artwork and when selecting shelving brackets, make sure the weight rating is fit for purpose. “A P1 or P2 dust mask is suitable for general plastering and repairs at home - just check it fits well as this affects the level of protection” Howard Tse, CSR Gyprock 84 bunnings.com.au | (O) bunnings | ®) bunnings THE ULTIMATE DECORATORS TOOLKIT Gloves Quality work gloves will help to shield your hands from glue, splinters, cuts, scrapes and more.
