Porcelain tile is a stylish and durable option for many types of flooring. Laying porcelain tile correctly is essential for the longevity and stability of your floor. If done correctly, you can have a beautiful, long-lasting floor for many years. Here is a step-by-step guide for laying porcelain tile.
First, you will want to prep the surface. Make sure that the floor is level, clean and dry. Any imperfections in the surface will affect the tile’s bond and could cause it to come loose over time. You can use a level and trowel to make sure the surface is even.
Next, you will need to lay the tile. Start at the farthest corner of the room and lay your tiles one at a time. Make sure that the tiles are lined up properly and that you are using the proper spacing between each tile. You can use a grout line tool to help you space the tiles evenly.
Once the tiles are laid, you will need to grout the tiles. Mix the grout according to the manufacturer’s instructions and then use a trowel to spread the grout. Make sure the grout is evenly spread across the entire surface and that no gaps are left between the tiles. Then, use a damp sponge to wipe away any excess grout.
Finally, you will want to seal the tiles. This will help protect the tiles from staining and water damage. Apply the sealer according to the manufacturer’s instructions and allow it to dry completely before using the floor. Once the sealer has dried, your porcelain tile floor is ready to use.
