Install cement backer board onto the stabilized floor and the backer board in with 2 inches, at every floor joist screw galvanized screws.

Use a chalk line to mark two lines that intersect at the center of the place. Ensure the lines are square to each other (90 degrees). Put a row of tiles along both lines on the floor that was dry. Place spacers between the tiles, leaving enough room for the grout. Look at just how the tiles are ordered; you need as many whole tiles in the center as possible. Until you are pleased with the way they are positioned, fiddle with all the tile.

Use thin set to hold your tiles in position. Use a notched trowel to spread the thin set. Disperse the thin-set merely to as far as you can reach and place a tile. Install your tiles to the inset with a firm downward pressure. Don't forget to place spacers between the tiles. You can exploit the tile gradually to make certain that it's in place. Start in the center and work out to the walls. Border tiles and the cut tiles are installed.
