I'm looking at the process of tiling.
I've cut and pasted some rough notes about the process of tiling.
Comments please?
Prep
Flatten out wall. Choose find high spot and go from there, or consider removing high spot and reassess. Level out using rapid set or similar
Tank as necessary
Decide on layout etc, grout lines with floor, or reasonable cuts etc on corners
Setting out - decide how the tiles are to look.
Mark centre lines on walls
Battening above bottom row all around
Apply adhesive and tile about a metre squared at a time. Use tile spacers then.
Work the whole wall, ensuring that grout lines line up – I have problems here how to I get this wrong?
Carry on until you reach the edges the walls
Remove batton
Measure and cut each edge top and bottom tile
