Your bathroom design is somehow a genuine reflection of your lifestyle and personality. So, you really need to take the time in order to try and decorate this space in the right way and this will also apply when you are interested to install some bathroom tiles in order to redefine the whole atmosphere. Searching for quality and nice bathroom tiles can be a difficult task itself but laying them out will be a whole new issue that needs your time and attention. Here are some useful tips on installing a bathroom tile because it never hurts to try it all by yourself before deciding that you need a professional’s help.

Keep in mind that you need to be accurate with the necessary measurements when it comes to installing a bathroom tile all by yourself. You don’t want to end up with irregularly cut tiles right at the edges of the bathroom. So, you need to plan everything ahead and lay out the bathroom tiles in order to do the necessary measurements. All you have to do is to provide yourself with the following materials: a tape measure, a tile cutter, grout, pencil, spacers and tiles, spreader, sponge, level, gloves and goggles. Once you have all these necessary materials, you will have to follow the next steps in order to properly install your bathroom tiles .

First, you will have to check the whole area you are planning to tile. Before installing the bathroom tile , you will have to check the area, clean and dry all its surfaces in order to properly do your job. It is also advisable to try and remove all the previous wallpapers and tiles before installing the new ones. Next, you will have to test how the new bathroom tiles will fit. Once you managed to clean the area, you will have to try and fit in the new tiles and notice how they lay out in that area. This will provide you with a clearer idea on how the new tiles will look once they are finished. Make sure that you provide yourself with a tape measure in order to record the exact number of inches on the way you must cut the tiles at their edges. This measure is crucial in order to follow the next step.

Next, you will have to cut the new bathroom tiles according to your initial measurements. You might also try and double check these initial measurements in order to make sure that they are accurate. Accuracy is paramount in here. If you don’t think that you are able to do this job all by yourself, you should ask for other people’s help in order to accurately cut the tiles. If you managed to cut them, it is time for you to install each of the bathroom tiles. As you have already laid down the bathroom tiles , you should start putting in the necessary spacers.

Next, you lift every tile and spread adhesive on the wall or floor. Lay the bathroom tile over the adhesive. Use the sponge in order to remove the excess of adhesive. Keep on laying the tiles until you have managed to cover the whole area you want to tile. Once you are done with this, you will have to leave this tiled area overnight in order to let the adhesive set. Once the adhesive is set, you will have to add the grout. You need to make sure that the grout is mixed according to the given instructions. Use your gloves in order to do this job. Start by removing the spacers and continue by spreading this grout right in between. Make sure that you are careful enough in order not to make a mess. Wipe the excess by using the sponge. From here, you will have to allow the grout to harden for a couple of days.
