How to Install Ceramic Floor Tile

The popularity of ceramic tile flooring caused the industry to create methods and machinery that homeowners could use. Now, with the expanding cost of labor, more and more people would like to install tile by themselves to avoid the expensive tile-laying service. Here we would like to tell you how to install ceramic

tile on floor using Colorbuilding tile adhesive and grout.

Instructions

First, be certain the area getting the tile is clean and free from dust. Starting in the center of the room requires a reference point. 

Second, measure the tile from corner to corner and mark the lines on the floor accordingly. This is to center the first tile.

Third, mix mortar that can be used in a short amount of time. Trowel the mortar onto the floor and set the first tile. Remember to put tile spacers to separate the rest of the tiles as you lay them. 

Fourth, after setting all the tiles on the floor, allow 24 hours before applying the grout. Mix the grout according to the instructions on the material. Force grout into the grout lines created by the spacers with the grout trowel. Again, just mix enough grout that will be used up only on an area before it has a chance to cure.

Fifth, once an area is grouted, clean the excess up with a damp sponge wringing it often. When grout dries to a haze, polish it with a soft cloth until it is clean and no haze. Wait at least 3 days before stepping on it.
