How to Lay Ceramic Tile
Before you can begin installing ceramic tile flooring, laying out the pattern is critical. Although a wide range of patterns can be achieved, these instructions will help you lay a simple square grid pattern with your ceramic tile. Once you have your pattern layout, you can proceed to installing the tiles.
-
Prepare the subfloor before laying ceramic tile by installing ceramic tile backboards over plywood or patching a cement foundation to create a level surface.
-
Start the pattern you will use to lay ceramic tile at the entrance of the main door to the room.
-
Snap a chalk line perpendicular to the entrance to use as a guideline to lay your first row of ceramic tile. Make sure the line is at a 90 degree angle by using a square and extend the line from the main door to the opposite wall.
-
Lay your first row of ceramic tile along the chalk line. Use spacers between each tile to ensure that they are equally spaced.
-
Install a temporary board at the end of the row when you can no longer lay a full tile.
-
Put down ceramic tiles along the board perpendicular to the first row.
-
Measure the spaces at either end of this row to determine how much you need to move the center row to achieve an equal border on all walls.
-
Snap a new chalk line to mark the line where you will begin installing your ceramic tile.
