How To Install Tiles Step By Step
Installing new tiles is not as difficult as it may sound; it just requires some patience and time to do the job.
The things needed to install tiles are, floor/wall tiles, a tape measure, chalk line, level, trowel, tile cement and grout.
Start by cleaning the area where the tiles are going to be installed. If it is, floor tiles that are being installed use the tape measure to find the center of the floor by measuring from one wall to the one across from it and mark the center then do the same thing for the opposite walls.
Use the chalk line to mark a straight line from wall to wall so that the chalk lines cross in the center of the room.
Begin by starting in the center of the room and use the trowel to spread tile cement along the chalk line and placing the tiles into the cement. Work in small areas until the floor is covered with the tiles except for the row closes to the walls.
When the last row is ready to be installed lay a tile against the wall and on top of the tile closes to the wall so a measurement can be made of how much needs to be cut off in order to place the last row of tiles in place.
