House Planning: How to Choose Tile (11 / 15)

It's important to choose a floor tile that can stand up to the daily wear and tear of your household. Scuffs, spilled foods, cleaning supplies, dog scratches, etc. should all be taken into account. Make sure to choose a tile that is specifically formulated for floor use. This natural stone tile shower is a great example, since it has a high COF (coefficient of friction) to keep it from being too slippery. You'll definitely want to do this when choosing a tile for your bathroom floor. Something with a slight raised pattern or texture will increase friction, even when wet.

020 Replace a Shower Door NEW JOB???

The most common type of shower door is sliding (bypass) and framed on 4 sides. The doors come in both framed and unframed with variations in glass texture patterns. You can find these in any home improvement store. In this video, I'll go over how to both remove and install this type of door. The door I really wanted is completely frameless but at over $1000, it was well beyond my price range. Even if I got one, I probably wouldn't attempt to install myself anyway. Enjoy.

Step 3: Lay Out the Tiles

Measure the height and width of the walls to be tiled. Using the spacers, lay out a couple of row of the tiles horizontally in a dry run on a tarp to see where they fall on the joints.

Now compare these placements to the actual wall. Using your wall measurements, figure and mark the center of the wall and work out the layout from the approximate center of the wall. Check to make sure your end pieces are at least one-half of the tile width. Determine the vertical layout. See if the tub is level. If it isn't get the height measurement from the low side of the tub. Draw lines: the top line will be the glue line and the center line will be the plumb line. Draw a grid, representing tile quadrants.

measure and lay out tiles for quick assessment

Step 4: Apply the Tiles

Trowel the wall with adhesive in small areas that can be covered right away. Tip: Because the adhesive you'll be using dries in approximately 30 minutes, it's best to lay the tile one grid at a time. Begin in the center of the bottom of the grid and move out toward the sides. Push the tiles into place. Use your hands, a grout float or a rubber mallet to apply even pressure across the tiles. Wipe the tiles with water and a clean sponge as you set them. Check the level of each row before you set the next one. Use spacers to make sure the grid lines are straight and hold the tile in place as they dry. Put in all the full tiles first.

Step 5: Cut the Tiles

Cut the tiles as necessary to fit along the edges and to accommodate fixtures. If there are gaps at the corners, fill in the spaces with individually cut tiles. Use a tile cutter to make straight tile cuts on the edges. Slide the tile in place, draw the wheel back along the tile to score it, press the handle down to break the tile. With a wet saw, put masking tape on the tile, mark the cut line with a pencil and cut the tile.To make complicated cuts such as cutting around fixtures, mark the square on the back of the tile where you need an opening. Hold each piece firmly in place and gently slide it under the wet saw blade. To make cuts for small divots, mark the tile and use tile nippers to cut. Use a sanding stone to smooth cut edges of the tile as needed. For any thin tile strips, score the tile on a cutting board and cut away the scored edge with nippers. Clean up any remaining fronts of the tiles that may have adhesive on them and remove the spacers.To prepare for applying the grout, tape to protect any neighboring walls or wallpaper. In the next phase of the project, the grout is applied.
