Your project in the canton of Obwalden
Obwalden is a mountain canton centred on Lake Sarnen and the valley leading up to the Brünig Pass. Sarnen, the main town, has shops, apartment blocks and family homes, while Sachseln and Giswil stretch along the lake with chalets and farmhouses. Higher up, Lungern overlooks its own lake, and Kerns lies on a sunny plateau. Engelberg, separate from the rest of the canton, is a mountain resort consisting mainly of chalets, second homes and hotels, with a long, snowy winter. Although the canton is German-speaking, you can easily write your request in English. For a traditional chalet or an extension, ask the municipality about the applicable rules. Give the village or town and postcode and, for a second home, the periods when a property visit can be arranged.
- In Engelberg, say whether the property is a second home and when tradespeople can access it.
- For a chalet on a slope, say whether a lorry can get close or whether materials must be carried.
- If your house is near Lake Sarnen, mention any damp problems in the basement.
Tiling work in the canton of Obwalden
In Obwalden, tilers are called upon as much by farms as by tourist accommodation. In Sarnen, family homes and newer buildings call for modern bathrooms and living-room floors that are easy to maintain. In Engelberg, a mountain resort, holiday rentals and hotels prefer to modernise their showers between two seasons. On the shores of Obwalden's lakes, tiled terraces endure humidity and frost, which requires a suitable material and careful drainage. In timber houses, laying on a floor requires particular preparation, as the structure moves more than a concrete slab and needs extra stiffening.
- For a holiday flat, choose grey or dark grout, which stays clean longer despite heavy use.
- In a timber house, ask the tiler for a reinforcing board beneath the tiles to stiffen the floor before laying.

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