Measuring and Planning, the keys to successful tiling.
Establish the height for walls by finding the low point of the floor next to the wall. Measure from this point to wainscot height including base and cap. On new work where floor must be installed, allow for tile thickness. From low point, stack one row of tile to required height with dabs of mastic on the back of each tile. Use cap to establish height but draw line on top of the last tile as caps can be installed later.
Find vertical starting line by beginning from the center of the wall. Lay out a row of tile to the corner. If cut comes to less than half the tile, adjust vertical starting line so its center hits middle of tile instead of tile joint.
Find starting point for floors by placing tile on floor in front of tub and along the adjoining wall. Some tile may have be cut to fill in open spaces. Fit tiles to pipes, then draw starting line for adhesive.
some examples of our tiling:
We recently tiled a customers bathroom using faux painted tiles,
also designed and manufactured by ourselves. Here are a couple of
