Tile Installation Sequence

If necessary, mark or chalk guidelines for the floor layout. Marking a grid of
guidelines will allow you to quickly notice if the tile is running outside the planned
layout. It is important to determine the best spot to begin the tile installation so that
you can exit the space.

Mix some thin set mortar as described above for setting the concrete substrate.

Use a notched trowel to spread the thin set mortar in a manageable area (about as big
an area as can be laid in 10 minutes) and work it onto the backer board. Cover the
entire surface with a consistent bed of mortar and keep the grooves oriented in the
same direction. The grooves in the mortar will allow any air under the tile to escape,
minimizing air pockets and insufficient bonding.

Set the tiles into place and gently wiggle them to ensure full coverage of the thin set
and to eliminate any air beneath the tile. Use spacers to keep the tile straight and
check the guidelines to keep the layout on track. Remove any excess thin set in the
joints to allow enough room for the grout.

After the ceramic floor tile has set for 24 hours, grout the floor. Two types of
grout are available for ceramic tile, sanded and Unsanded. Sanded grout contains
sand and works best with wider joints, typically a 1/8” and larger. Unsanded grout
does not contain sand and should be used with tighter joints, a 1/8” or less, or
between tiles that can be easily scratched, such as glass or granite. Both sanded and
unsanded grouts are available in a variety of colours to complement any tile.

Most grout comes in powdered form, so the first step is to mix a batch of grout.
Mixing the grout is very similar to mixing thin set mortar. Add the powdered mixture
and water in an appropriately sized bucket mix to a peanut-butter-like consistency,
and let it sit, or slake, for about 10 minutes.

While the grout mixture is slaking, double-check the gaps between the tiles to ensure
that they are free of loose debris and deep enough for adequate grout coverage.

Use a rubber float to smear the grout mixture over the ceramic tile, working the grout
into the joints. It is best to work diagonally across the tiles to ensure that the grout
fills all the space between the tiles. Use the edge of the grout float to gently scrape off
any excess grout, pushing it into the unfilled joints. Joints abutting a different material
should be left unfilled.

Finally, after the grout has set for a few hours, use a dry rag or buffing pad to
polish the tile and clean any remaining grout that is stuck on the surface.
