Your project in the canton of Glarus
The canton of Glarus occupies a narrow alpine valley framed by peaks, where the Linth flows down towards Lake Walen. The main town, Glarus, was largely rebuilt in the nineteenth century and has a regular street plan with stone buildings. Näfels and Mollis, to the north, feature mansions and residential districts, while Schwanden and Linthal, further up, retain former textile workers' housing. The mountain climate, with snow and the föhn wind, influences the choice of materials and the timing of outdoor work. The canton is German-speaking, but a request in English is entirely possible. For an old building or a change visible from the street, contact your municipality. Add the village or town and postcode, distinguishing the valley road from narrower routes to your building.
- In the upper valley, say whether the access road is affected by snow or closures.
- For a former worker's house, describe the condition of the roof and exterior walls.
- If your house is exposed to the föhn, mention it for any work on the roof or shutters.
Tiling work in the canton of Glarus
In the canton of Glarus, deep valleys and a damp climate steer tiling work towards robust materials that dry easily. In Glarus, the houses rebuilt after the great fire have masonry structures that are well suited to tiling in bathrooms and kitchens. Further up, in Linthal or the Sernftal, many old houses are being converted into modern homes: tilers replace linoleum and worn floors with porcelain stoneware. Cellars and laundry rooms, often damp, require low-porosity tiles and mould-resistant grout. The entrances of mountain houses benefit from a slip-resistant floor covering.
- In a damp laundry room, choose epoxy or water-repellent grout, which resists mould better than standard cement grout.
- For an old valley house, plan a tiled skirting in wet rooms to protect the base of the walls from splashes.

Frequently asked questions
How do I choose tiles for my bathroom in Glarus?
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.
