To begin, you should do one test tile to ensure that the consistency of the mortar is appropriate. Put the first test tile onto the thin-set bed. Lay the tile flat and then with mild pressure, slide the tile 1/4 inch back against the thin-set ridges, then slide it back into place.o start planning the layout of your tile, you must first find the center point of the room. To do this, measure the four walls in the room and find their midpoints. Then, snap two chalk lines. One from the midpoints of two opposite walls and another from the midpoints of the other two walls.
1. Measure the wall where you will place the tiles. Find the midline of the wall from ceiling to floor and mark it with a chalk line. You will lay out your first tile directly on this line, and your next tiles evenly out to each side to get a balanced installation.. Spread grout over the wall tiles with a grout float, a rubber tool used for spreading grout. Hold the float at a 45-degree angle to the wall to push the grout into the joints between the tiles. Turn the float to 90 degrees to remove the excess grout from the tile faces.
