How much does it cost to install floor tile?
£167.97p
Can you install wall tile on the floor?
It is certainly possible to tile a floor, but bear in mind, there is much more pressure placed on the floor than on the walls, and floor tile must be laid over a solid cement base, otherwise it is going to crack.
How do you lay eighteen inch tile?
I will not explain exactly how to tile but i will tell you that your floor has to be very flat, an 18" tile is harder to install when there are crowns in floor they are not as forgiving as a 12 or 13" tile and you will have unacceptable lippage in your 18" tile, for installing go to john bridges website.
What do I have to do to prep the floor before I install floor tile?
Mainly all it involves is removing old flooring and getting down to your basic floor structure. Tile can usually be laid over any surface that is in good condition. If there are bumps, tears, or anything like that its going to involve a little sanding to even the surface up.
Do you install tile or hardwood first?
I have done this and I always have the hardwood installed first. Then I install the ceramic tile. To protect the hardwood floor from getting grout or glue on it I cover the hardwood floor with a soft cover (to prevent scratches) and tape it down. Then place a plastic cover over the hardwood. Then I can install the ceramic tile at the edge of the hardwood creating hardly or no seem and level with the hardwood. When its done it looks beautiful.I would install the tile first , that way you don't risk getting glue or grout on your hardwood.
