Remodeling a bathroom is a challenge, long time, maybe, but rewarding, even after you have completed the task. My previous articles, I explained how to:

Design layout
To properly install the tile, you must first install the schedule of the ledger. To determine where to install the ledger, measure the width of the tile tub deck to the bottom with two rows of grout.
Working example in the previous article, ledger be set at 1 5/16 inches from the deck of the tub.
The width of the tile
8 1/16 inches
Grout line between the square at the bottom of the tub deck
1/8 inch
Tile Grout line between the bottom and the second off a square
1/8 inch
Total
8 1/16 + 1/8 + 1/8 = 8 5/16 inches
After you install a ledger, now it's time to set the tile shower.
For setting tile bathroom wall, you will need a mortar set. The advantage of quick mortar to stick to the wall tile set is better, not luxurious. Use the fine sanded when you apply a cement mortar. Use modified latex mortar fine control if you apply vinyl or wood substrates. Do not use mastic for setting up a shower shower! Mastic will weaken over time because the moisture of the shower.
Mix the mud, you will need 5-gallon bucket of water with a drop and mix. Mix cement by the recommendation of the manufacturer and in small groups, as it is dry. When you mix the mortar in small groups, plan to mix several batches of mortar to tile a shower through the set. Permanent bonding, you do not have a set of tile, wait 24 hours for the mortar cure, select another row of tile, and wait another 24 hours, and so on as you would with a thin mortar set.
I encourage you to open many boxes of the tile ????? shower. When you set the tile, use the tile from a variety of boxes to help get rid of any tile box color variations.
Intend to make cuts when you set the tile. Porcelain tiles can be seen to help with these cuts. If you set the tile yourself, we recommend that you install pieces of tile. When you need to mix more mortar is a good time to measure and cut the necessary parts of a tile. This way you don't have to worry about the group-they are measuring, cutting, drying one tile at a time.
To run the set square, spread the mortar mixed the tile. Use a notched trowel square 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch to spread mortar to tile. See the manufacturer's instructions and use the appropriate size trowel bonding according to their specifications.
Click the square to the wall. Firmly press all tile instead of and movement in the light to make sure that it makes a good relationship with glue. As you work your way along the wall of the shower, spacious tile placed on all four sides of each tile to help maintain consistency with other tiles and Grout lines defined. Not more than 1/2 square slide to set in place. Remove the pieces in the first couple of tile for sure ????? thin set is applied over the square.
When you distribute a thin, save the thin edge of the tile. Wipe off any slim Pack squeezes a to the surface of the tile. Make sure that is the first piece of square tile on the markup. If the first tile is turned off the rest of the square will be off. You may need to press the tile with the arrest of her to create the tile drain tiles to rubber. Be sure to check periodically to ensure that the tile ??????? not. Stand back and look at the maikpi bathroom tile from any imperfections.
Repeat this process working on the way down the wall tile all field is set up. Be sure to double check the tile when you go over the wall to make sure not to move the square you can set to make sure that your grout lines are consistent. Let the tile dry for 24 hours. Then, remove the ledger and tile field. Also you are installing tile clip at this time.
After the tile set, allowed her time to dry, it's time to grout tile installed. If you are installing a tile on the floor in the bathroom as well, it is recommended that you install the whole room for tile and grout the bathroom as a whole at the same time.
The next article we will discuss a tile floor. After you set the tile graoting tile floor was installed.
