Laying ceramic tile on a bathroom floor is a big job, but i can show
you how to do it, step by step!
Generally
when you’re starting a tile job you want to find the center point of your room
by snapping chalk lines at the center point of each wall. In my case I
am tiling a small bathroom and i want a full tile line at the edge of the
bathtub, so i am going to start by the bathtub and work my way out from there.
Spread a
layer of thinset onto the floor with a notched trowel large enough for a sheet
of tile, and lay it in place. press it
lightly into the thinset and use a level to be sure that it is perfectly even.
continue this process working out from the tub and back toward the door. space your sheets apart the same distance as
the tile on your mosaic sheets.
When you get
to the walls, toilet flanges or outlets, you can pop tiles off of the sheets
and cut them mesh with a utility knife.
if you need to cut individuals tile use a tile saw or nippers.
Once all of
the tile sheets are in place – keep people off of the floors for twenty-four
hours so the adhesive can set up. that’s
all there is to it! I’m Mrs. FIXIT and it’s just that simple!
