Installing Ceramic Tile

Do I have to remove the plastic shower enclosure before installing ceramic tile on the wall?

Or I can install nothing concrete panels on top of it?

DO NOT, under any circumstances, attempt to tile over fiberglass. It expands and contracts with temperature changes pure tension and this will destroy the use of tiles, no matter how much cement board to install. Rip out and come around to the studs. Apply your greenboard, tape seams, and - most importantly - WATERPROOF its substrate (partitions and does not meet the ANSI standards as a stand-alone waterproofing) provider of waterproofing. membranes are available in all the tiles and usually applied with a roll right into your greenboard. You can glue directly on top of the waterproofing drying. With no less than 11 feet of water hitting the shower wall average every year you want pork tight seal.

Installing Ceramic Tile Floor?

Ok, I made almost every renovation you can imagine, I even built a 19 by 16 foot wooden deck at the back of my house last year. I do not respond to the need to seek out a professional. I'm just asking for some advice or assistance for the installation of ceramic tile. I have not done before, is it really hard? Or is obvious the job once you have done?

advice I have: 1. Design of base plates and cut before the mortar down and down Nail. Mix the mortar very well, due to the consistency where you can drop a little on the ground and not nasal. 2. Before placing the concrete backer board (hardiboard) down, it is necessary to promote a mortar in the basement of wood (if wood) with the flat side of the trowel, then add more using a mortar and / 8 3-inch notched trowel to spread mortar on the ground. 3. Place the rear bracket down, press in the mortar, and put the nails every 6-8 inches around the board. If you have a pneumatic gun of any kind will suffice. You want to sink the nail head, but not the hollow base plate 4. Want to do the same installation steps tile. Flower Chart your plan, either in his head and a tape measure. or actually had a couple of rows of tiles. You do not "want to get to a wall and 1 / 4 "piece of filling all the wall. 5. Then push the mortar on the cement board with the smooth side of the trowel, before using the notched side. 6. Start slow and get a row going in each direction to keep the plaza floor. 7. Want to put the tile 1 / 2 "out of where you want to lay and then push in the mortar to fill CESR backed tile. 8. Use tile spacers, you can get at any Lowe's, Home Depot, etc. The larger the piece, usually larger the groutline, but personal taste. 9. With small tiles, you can make a more uniform appearance and uneven floors. The bigger the tile, the most quick work stop (common sense). 10. systematically remove excess mortar groutlines on the march, which will make it much easier shot. 11. When preparing for the grout, clean the tiles with a damp sponge. Get sponges large injection of Lowe's. Let the tile dry for atleast 12 hours, if not more. You may receive an irregular mosaic is completely dry. 12. Mix grout to a consistency that is slightly runnier the mortar. 13. Depending the size of the plant you may want to grout one section at a time. 14. Try grout lines, not together all the top floor and tile. It makes cleaning more difficult and waste considerable amounts of cement. 15. You do not want to finish all the excess grout cleaning. Instead, after the grout begins to haze over tiles, wipe most of the excess grout, but concentrate on making the lines together and are still has some shortcomings, this will be his last time to correct them. 16. When the mists of new tile, clean with a damp sponge for a second time, this time more and more on the clean side of the piece, and make sure the grout to dry slowly. 17. Mist is back, the third time you wash, be very clear with the strokes of the sponge, trying to clean the face of the tile. Just to get rid of the haze. 18. Let the grout to dry overnight. The next day you can mop with a light soap and warm water mixture. I suggest using a sponge mop. It is dry. 19. The following day, or anytime thereafter, you can seal the grout. BUT, before sealing the grout to make sure you have all the haze from the tile. If you still fog on the tile that does not wash with soap and water. Mix one gallon of white vinegar with one gallon of warm water, mix and mop the floor. This should get rid of the haze remaining. Then seal Hope this helps, I have made hundreds of tile floors, do not hesitate to email me with any questions. Woody642008@hotmail.com
