Basic How To

To install tile first you will need to line off the room the way you want it to be installed in 4 by 4 squares with chalk. After this you will begin cutting tile that needs to be cut. Once all of your tile is cut you will mix some mortar up to lay the tile on. I use durabond brand. when it is mixed up you will put on the floor and begin installing. You will need to leave a .25 inch joint between tiles to fill in with grout. Once you have successfully installed the tile you will need to make sure nobody is on it for a day. After this you will begin grouting. When you grout you want to make sure the joints are full. You put the grout on a rubber trial and rub over floor filling in the joints, then go back over and clean all the grout of the tile. After you finished the whole room, you may want to polish it up with an old rag or towel that is Clean. Keep people off of it again for another day, and its done.
