Ceramic Tile - Home How to Guide - Do it Yourself Home Repairs
Ceramic and quarry floor tiles provide a hardwearing and
attractive surface for kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and
conservatories.
Ceramic tiles can be laid on concrete or suitably prepared
wooden floors and worktops. Be careful when setting them
out because a lot of cutting work can be saved at this stage.
The other important point is to get the whole surface flat
and level so the edges of the tiles don't stick up. On uneven
handmade or terracotta tiles, a few protruding edges are
inevitable but you still need to be careful about how you lay
them.
There is an art in laying uneven tiles because it's
impossible to lay a spirit level over several handmade tiles -
you need to use your eye and judgement.
