What Quantity Do You Need?

Once you know what kind of tile you’d like, you’ll then have to work out how many tiles you are going to need to complete your project. Remember the bigger the tile the more wastage is needed. Also, if the design is intricate, then more tiles are needed.

What Surface Preparation Is Needed To Lay Floor Tiles?

Once you have your tiles delivered, then the real work starts. Surface preparation is a must no matter what your project may be. If the floor surface is not flat, it may require screeding prior to laying the tiles. If you are tiling on a non-porous surface such as painted walls, you must prime the surface before installing the tiles. Where should you start laying tiles from? How do you make a fall for water drainage if you are laying bathroom floor tiles? How can you lay natural stone tiles and maintain the original look for years to come?
