When tiling a floor where to start?

Start placing the tile in the center of the room and go outside. The first step in designing the mosaic is to mark a guide, or design line, in the room to ensure that the mosaic pattern is evenly centered. Measure the four walls of the room with a measuring tape to find the midpoint. In general, there are always tiles from the bottom to the top.

Tiling the wall from top to bottom is a precarious process and is not recommended. There is a possibility that the tiles will slip if the thin layer used is not of the best quality or if the tiles are heavy. Usually, you'll want to start installing the bathroom tiles in the back corner. But if you start making tiles from the back corner, your most visible areas won't line up as planned.

Now that you know what your design will look like, plan the order in which you'll tile the room, quadrant by quadrant, so that you end up in front of a door and don't go tiled. If you're tiling walls and floors, we recommend that you start with flooring so that the wall tile overlaps and sits on top of the floor tile. This ensures that water flows to the tile rather than to the grout joint or underneath the tile. Place the first tile firmly on the adhesive base, press down, turn it and slide it until it is in place to ensure that the adhesive adheres properly (for larger tiles, you may also need a thin layer of adhesive on the back of the tile to make sure that are well secured).

If you have a wooden floor, you'll need to install a tile subfloor before you can install the tile. When laying the tiles, make sure that the tile joints are aligned with each other and maintain the equidistance between all the tiles. You can see that the small pieces of cut tiles are on the back of the bathroom wall, ensuring that the tiles at the entrance to the bathroom are not cut. If you do, all the cut tiles will be placed on one side and will make your mosaic project irregular and careless.

This will give your tiles a more finished look because there will be a full row of tiles in front of you as you enter the room. To lay tiles around a bathroom, you must again find the starting point where you will fix your first tile. If there is only a thin piece of tile left on the wall, rearrange the center tile so that there is a larger section of tile left, which will be easier to cut. The advantage of fixing the tiles from the corner is that it will be easier to cut them to fit around the edges.

For large format tiles, you should also apply butter to the tile by applying a thin layer directly to the back of the tile. This will help you find the number of tiles you need and the half tiles you may need at the end of each row. If you do a good job installing your threshold, you will be right at a point where you can lay tiles in a straight line without cuts and the width of the grout next to the sill will be uniform. If you're laying tiles on the floor of a bathroom or kitchen that you need access to at all times, consider laying tiles in half the floor one day, allowing it to dry, and then moving to the other side.
