Your project in the canton of Fribourg
The canton of Fribourg links French- and German-speaking Switzerland, and bilingualism is part of everyday life. The city of Fribourg, with its Lower Town beside the Sarine, has old houses where access can be narrow. Bulle and the Gruyère region combine newer districts, farmhouses and alpine chalets, while Châtel-St-Denis opens onto the Veveyse. In the north, Estavayer-le-Lac and Murten line the lakes, with remarkably well-preserved walled old towns. In the Sense district, around Düdingen, German is the main language. Your request can be written in English anywhere in the canton; let us know whether contact in French or German also suits you. Façades, windows or an extension may require approval, and your municipality can tell you more. Give the municipality, postcode and preferred language for communication, along with building access details.
- For a house in Fribourg's Lower Town, describe the access constraints and the slope of the street.
- In the Gruyère region, for a chalet or farmhouse, give the altitude and explain access in winter.
- State your preferred language, particularly in the Sense or Lake districts.
Tiling work in the canton of Fribourg
In the canton of Fribourg, tilers work in houses in Fribourg's old town, built on molasse sandstone, as well as in the many newer villas of the Sarine and Gruyère districts. In Bulle, fast-growing residential areas bring new bathrooms and stoneware laid over underfloor heating. In the Gruyère, when an old farmhouse becomes a home, entrances and cellars need a very tough floor covering, sometimes natural stone slabs. On the shores of Lake Neuchâtel and Lake Murten, holiday homes expose their terraces to humidity and frost. In old buildings, damp in molasse walls must be dealt with before tiles are applied.
- With underfloor heating, ask for tiles and adhesive suited to heat and let the screed dry for the recommended time before laying.
- In a molasse house, have the walls checked for damp before any wall tiling, otherwise the grout will quickly darken.

Frequently asked questions
How do I choose tiles for my bathroom in Fribourg?
Choose non-slip tiles for the floor and consider easy-to-clean surfaces for the shower area. Large formats reduce the number of joints but require a very flat substrate. Ask the tiler for advice on waterproofing and on the grout colour.
Why does a wet-area tiling project need more than tile selection?
The base, waterproofing and junctions around drains or fixtures affect the completed wet area. Specify the room's use and the layout, then ask how preparation and sealing are handled. Tile appearance alone does not establish the suitability of the whole installation.
What should I compare in tiler quotes?
Compare base preparation, waterproofing where needed, tile supply, laying and joints. Check cuts, edges, thresholds and work around fittings. Ensure the same tile format and finish are specified, and ask which tasks are coordinated with plumbing or other adjoining work.
How should I prepare for the tiler visit or work?
Keep tile specifications and room plans ready and identify items to retain. Agree grout colour and edge details before laying. Discuss access and the conditions for using the finished surfaces with the installer, based on the selected products and actual work sequence.
