  1. Always mix tiles well to avoid uneven colour variations.

  2. When laying tiles on wooden floors, fix marine plywood first.

  3. Always buy flexible adhesive and grout.

  4. Always select the same width border / trim as your tiles to keep the grout line consistent.

  5. Use a tile shaping template to fit tiles around shaped areas such as pipes & wash basins

  6. Use tile drills when drilling holes into tiles. Always cover the area with masking tape first.

  7. Always wear safety goggles when cutting tiles. Knee pads are essential when laying floor tiles.
