Measure the width and height of the wall to find out how many  marble tiles  you need. Use measuring tape to take precise measurements of the area of wall you’ll be tiling  wall tiles . To find the area of your wall, multiple the length times the width, and then divide this number by the area of 1 box of the  tiles design  you are using in order to determine how many to purchase. When you’re purchasing the  tiles price , buy an extra package of  tiles  in case some get damaged while you’re hanging them. For instance, if the wall is 10 by 12 feet (3.0 by 3.7 m), it is 120 square feet (11 m2). Then, if each box of  tiles  has 10 square feet (0.93 m2) of tile, divide 120 by 10 to find that you need 12 boxes to cover the wall exactly. Then, you should add an additional box to account for potentially damaged  cement tiles . Since the grout doesn’t take up much space between the  tiles , and your  tiles  like...

Have a wet zone and a dry zone in the  bathroom . The wet zone is where the floor may get wet, such as by the tub or just outside the  shower . The dry zone is where the floor will stay dry, such as by the door or the towel rack. Keep a good amount of space between the wet zone and the dry zone so you do not have to walk in wet spots when you use the  bathroom . For example, you may have a wet zone where the  toilet  is next to the  shower  and the  sink . Then, you may put the towel rack by the door to have a separate dry zone. Keep in mind you can use a bath mat to help control the water so it does not get in the dry zone. Put the  toilet  in a separate area for more privacy. One popular option is to have a water closet that is next to the  bathroom  that contains the  toilet . This makes the toilet more private and allows someone to use the  shower  while someone else uses the  toilet . Go for this o...

Spread your mortar. Spread mortar in a small area where you will begin to work. Only work with a roughly 2’x3′ area at a time. You do not want the mortar to have time to set before you can lay your  floor tiles . Using a notched trowel (different sizes may be needed, 3/8″ is a good starting point), spread the mortar between sections that you marked with the chalk line. If the mortar rises up between the  tiles design  (to be flush or nearly flush with the  cement tiles  surface), that means it’s too thick or that the ridges need to be shorter. The mortar should be covering the entire  tiles , if you lift it up after placing it. If when you lift up the  wood   tiles  you see only lines of mortar on the  tiles , then the mortar has dried out too much or the bed is too thin and the height of the ridges must be increased. If using tile sheets, use a trowel with smaller notches. This will keep the mortar from coming up through ...
