Tools Needed For Laying Tile!

                                                           Laying ceramic tile is a task that requires planning. Once you have prepared the surface you need to
                                                                                           assemble all the tools you will need for your tile laying project.

                                                                                                          Here's a checklist of the tools you needed:

                                                                                                                          Tape Measure
                                                                                                                          Pencil or Marker Pen
                                                                                                                          Level
                                                                                                                          Chalk Line
                                                                                                                          2 Buckets (one for thin set, other for grout)
                                                                                                                          Tile Spacers
                                                                                                                          Notched Trowel
                                                                                                                          Margin Trowel
                                                                                                                          Margin Float
                                                                                                                          Grout Flout
                                                                                                                          Sponge (one that has a firm round edge)
                                                                                                                          Scrub Pad
                                                                                                                          Mixer Bar
                                                                                                                          Mixing Drill
                                                                                                                          Tile Nippers or Wet Saw (Rent a wet saw if you don't
                                                                                                                          want to go to the expense of buying)
                                                                                                                          Tile Cutter (Again rent one if you do not wish to buy
                                                                                                                          your own)



                                                                  Now that you've got all your tools together the first task is to carefully measure the area you want
                                                                  to tile. Then calculate the number of tiles you will need. Always add on an extra 10 to 15% to allow
                                                                  for cutting errors, waste and spares.

                                                                 Of course if you are going to use accent or border tiles then you need to think about where they
                                                                 are going to go and how many of these you will need. Then it's time for a shopping trip to buy the
                                                                 tiles and other materials you will need for laying ceramic tile. When buying your mortar and grout
                                                                 make sure it is suitable for the room you will be tiling.

                                                                              If you wish you could install tile with a professional looking finish.
