Behind the tile

The part you don't see is why it lasts

Anyone can make tile look good on day one. Here's the prep that keeps it looking that way.

  1. Bathroom floor of large dark tiles set before the trim goes back on 01

    Plan the layout

    Tile is laid out before anything is stuck down, so cuts land where you won't notice them and lines run true to the room.

  2. Orange waterproof uncoupling membrane on a floor, partly covered with grey tile 02

    Membrane first

    Waterproofing and uncoupling membrane goes down under the tile to keep water out and stop cracks coming up from below.

  3. Natural stone fireplace wall half built, with mortar and tools on the floor 03

    Course by course

    Natural stone is fitted piece by piece, not slapped up, so the finished wall looks like it grew there.

  4. Shower walls tiled in a patterned blue tile, with valve openings ready for fixtures 04

    Finish, then fixtures

    Walls are tiled, grouted and sealed around clean openings before the fixtures go back on.
