Synopsis

Tile Floors 1-2-3 - Buying Guides - project Advice - Step-By-Step Instructions - There's more to ceramic tile than meets the eye and if you're putting in a new floor, you're going to get a look at all of it. Sometimes the job can begin on the floor already in place - even it it's tile. It's usually best, though, to install a layer of cement backerboard first, as shown in the illustration at right. Cement backerboard is a little more difficult to install than plywood, but it's the best surface for tile. An adhesive applied to this base holds the new tiles in place. Grout fills the spaces between the tiles. This book's three sections will tell you about how to choose the right tiles, what other stuff you'll need and how to do the job. - Preparing the surface - Tools for Tiling - Adhesives, Grouts and Sealers - Grouts - Installing Backerboard - Laying Out the Tiles - Maintaining Tile Floors - Replacing Damaged tiles
