Hi All!
Complete, never tiled in my life, newbie here! But, I'm up for giving it a go.
I want to file the floor in my kitchen, which is linked to my dining room with an arch way and is at the most a grand total of 2m sq. This includes the space under my fridge, dish washer and washing machine.
I live in a brand new house. The floor is concrete and I'm pretty hopful it's pretty flat.
I've googled loads but I can't find a guide that answers all my points. I get the bits on putting adhesive on the floor, spacers, checking where I'm putting them but could someone help me with the following;
- How do I prepare the floor?
- Do I grout the space between the tile and the skirting board/kick board/cupboard? Or so I use silicone.
- As it's a kitchen am I best sealing the whole floor - will it be water proof if my washing machine ever dies?
- Any advice on what to do at the threshold of the archway leading to the dining room. It currently leads onto bamboo floor.
Thanks in advance - I cannot wait to get going! :drool5:
