Tilescan transform any space into a stunning and functional masterpiece; be it a kitchen, bathroom or living area. However, behind the seamless beauty of the well-tiled walls and floors lies a crucial aspect that often goes unnoticed; tiling preparation.

Proper tiling preparation sets the foundation for a flawless tile installation and ensures long-lasting results. But how do you know what you will need to carry out a highly effective tile preparation and how to go about creating such smooth finishes? We want to delve into the importance of tiling preparation and discuss the key steps that can make all the difference in achieving a professional finish.

A clean and smooth surface is vital for property tile adhesion. So it is important to ensure any existing coverings on your floors or walls are removed and the substrate is thoroughly cleaned, that includes all dirt, dust, grease and any loose particles too. Be sure to then repair any cracks, holes or uneven areas that could impact the final result. This can be done with any suitable patching compounds, mortar or levelling agents that can be sourced from a dedicated provider such as Apex Grange. This step ensures a solid base for each and every one of the tiles, therefore reducing the risk of movement or breakage in the future.

Moisture can be detrimental to tile installations as it can eventually lead to warping, mould growth or adhesive failure. Installing a moisture barrier; such as a waterproof membrane or vapour barrier, is crucial in areas that are prone to water exposure, be that bathrooms, kitchens or utility rooms. This protective layer prevents moisture from seeping into the substrate itself, thus preserving the integrity of both the tiles and the underlying structure.

For certain surfaces like wooden subfloors or concrete slabs, an additional underlayment is often necessary. Underlayment materials such as cement boards or uncoupling membranes; both of which can be found on the Apex Grange website, are ideal for supplying stability and for preventing the transfer of cracks from the substrate to the tiles themselves. They also offer an enhanced bond between the tiles and the subfloor, therefore promoting greater durability and even minimising the risk of tile damage over time.

Planning the layout of your tiles in advance is an essential step that should not be missed; no matter how in a hurry you may be. This is to achieve the most aesthetically pleasing and symmetrical result possible. By taking accurate measurements of the space you have available for your tiles and carefully marking up your desired layout will ensure proper alignment of each tile; be sure to avoid any awkward or small cuts as this will soon show in large proportions later on.

Dry laying your tiles before the actual installation will allow you to assess the overall appearance of the finished result, then allowing for you to determine whether or not any adjustments or relocations are necessary; you may even be able to anticipate any challenge you may face in advance and even try to prevent them where possible.

Selecting the most suitable adhesive and grout for your tile installation is sure to benefit you and the final result. Not only will this encourage greater longevity and performance, but it will even make a difference to the ease of the installation process.

Different types of adhesives and grouts are designed for various applications, including high-moisture areas, heavy traffic areas or outdoor settings that are expected to withstand the changes in weather conditions and temperatures.

Although following manufacturer guidelines is recommended, it can be tricky to know exactly what you are looking at, that is why we suggest seeking our expert knowledge and quality products, that way you can count on the reliability and durability of your overall preparation and installation.

Be sure to consider factors such as the tile material, the tile size, the substrate and the specific conditions of the application area; should you have any questions or need some guidance, be sure to get in contact with the experts at Apex Grange.

If you choose to go ahead with unofficial memory, afterwards, it is highly recommended to test the full quantity available with VM testing (assigning bulk memory to each virtual image) and running at the same time to see if it is utilized.

Luckily Synology provides a wide range of official memory upgrades that can be purchased from numerous retailers online, however, they are generally more expensive than the 3rd party equivalents (see example above). Now, there could be a few good reasons for this. Firstly, these memory sticks are first-party and specifically selected to work on the Synology NAS systems (taking alot of the searching out of it for people in researching speeds, frequencies and supported PIN numbers), and officially branded components for any hardware manufacturer are always pricier.

Next, they do not have the rotation of stock that Crucial or Kingston has and therefore, the flexibility in pricing they might have is not available. Lastly, the Synology memory will often be ECC memory (especially in recent released NAS systems by them, but not the DS423+ NAS) and ECC memory always commands a higher price. However, given this memory is likely manufactured by a 3rd party, that does make it a little painful sometimes for smaller Synology NAS users who look at official memory and its often 2-3x pricepoint of equivalent modules from Kingston, Crucial and Samsung. So, in this guide we talk about upgrading your memory with both official and unofficial memory, what happens when you do and if there are risks to factor in. If you are a little unsure about whether you need to use ECC memory in your specific Synology NAS setup, you can watch the video below detailing the pros, cons and more:

First, we need to ensure the Synology DS423+ is completely powered down/off and the mains power has been disconnected. It is recommended that you remove the Hard Drive or SSD that you have installed before accessing the RAM as it may block the slots. Additionally, you should remove the hard drive media as the unit will be moved around a lot during the memory installation and this could damage the drives. Be sure to keep a note of the drives that you remove and the order they were installed (HDD Bay 1, HDD Bay 2, etc) as installing the drives in the wrong slots could damage any existing RAID you have setup internally.

If you are removing any existing memory you have in place (i.e from a previous upgrade), be sure you eject the official memory sticks using the clips on either side of the slot, as well as only holding the memory sticks by the narrow side edges, never touching the chips or board of the money or NAS.

Once you have removed any existing modules, they can either be stored away for a later project, installed in a compatible laptop or sold on eBay etc to make a little cash back! Though I would recommend holding on to any removed official memory, as you might well need it in the event of a warranty/support claim. Once they are clear, install your chosen unofficial DDR4 SODIMM memory modules in the available slot, making sure that you click them in with the clips on either side.

Heading into the system information, once again, the 8GB Memory was recognized as recognised in total available physical memory: Heading into the Virtual Machine Manager and assigned a massive chunk of the available memory to an Ubuntu VM to see if the system would have any issue with assigning it. No barriers or hurdles were raised.

Alternatively, you can perform as many actions and processes as possible (scans, copy/pastes, thumbnail generation, transcode a 4K file, RAID changes, synchronisation, etc) at once to see how the task manager and resource monitor behaves in the Synology DS423+. It should spike each time and at a greater height as you do more and more and once it exceeds the memory you had previously installed, this is a good confirmation that the installation is working fine. Alternatively, you can temporarily allocate chunks of memory and then that is a much more reliable test. Install the virtual machine application for the Synology DS423+ (P.S. for Synology users it is the Virtual Machine Manager and for QNAP it is the Virtualisation station). Then you can create individual VMs (it is alot easier than it sounds and the Synology DS423+ VM software is very user-friendly) then allocate a large number of GBs (Gigabytes) of memory to each one. When you have created 3 or 4 individual virtual machine containers on the Synology DS423+ software, then you can run them all at once and that will immediately use almost all the memory at once! If there are any issues with the memory, it will show here almost immediately. If no problems, then you know the Synology DS423+ unofficial Crucial/Kingston memory installation as successful. You can then delete the VMs in the virtual machine software and then free up all that memory again.

Ryzen 9 7950X supports ECC RAM.

Also, some consumer motherboards, like the ASRock X670E Taichi mention the support for ECC & non-ECC DIMMs.

Will a combo like that work with ECC RAM 100%?

Any system with long uptimes should be using ECC, almost without regard for the system size (An exception at the microcontroller level, but they use a different kind of memory cell anyway). The longer the uptime the more chance for errors to propagate through the calculations. All modern 64bit machines are large machines, 1GB of memory is substantial in regard to bit flip error rates. A corrupted pixel in a video is inconsequential but if the corrupted bit is within a CPU instruction, a starting constant in a long calculation, or part of some compressed data then the effect can have a chain reaction.

eg. JPG images are very sensitive, due to the high level of compression one bit flip can destroy the color over half or more of the photograph. (While an uncompressed bitmap would only slightly scew one pixel, at the cost of 10 times the data so maybe a few scewed pixels.)
