Cover your bathroom floor and shower walls with tile. See the materials and tools needed for this project on the next slide, followed by the step-by-step instructions. Remember that careful measurement and preparation are key when tiling a floor.
Tiles, tile adhesive, and grout
Cement board
Screwdriver, screws
Tape measure, pencil
Notched trowel
Spacers, tile scorer, and tile nippers
Wet saw (optional, and can be rented)
Float, sponges
Needle-nose pliers
Step 1: Remove Old Flooring
Remove old flooring down to the subfloor. Attach cement board to the subfloor with screws. Measure the width of the floor, halve that number, and pencil a line at that point across the floor. Repeat the process to find the halfway point of the room's length, and pencil a mark across the floor from wall to wall. (You'll end up with two lines that intersect at the room's center).
Step 2: Apply the Adhesive
Before applying adhesive, place the corner of the first tile at the point where the penciled lines intersect; center other tiles along one line, leaving about 1/4 inch between them for grout. Arrange the tiles so the least amount of cutting is necessary. Mark their location with a pencil, then remove them. Apply adhesive, such as mastic, to a 3-foot section with the notched trowel (shown in the photo) recommended by the adhesive manufacturer.
