The things that are needed for installation are enough tile mastic or adhesive, pliers tile, a tile cutter, tile spacers, notched trowel, sponge, grout, trowel, silicone grout sealer, pencil and level.
Third, before installation, you need to make the prepared surface. Scrape off any flaking or cracked paint, remove any high-gloss paint or wallpaper anyone. Clean thoroughly with spray cleaner and then let it dry.
So do not forget to set the guidelines. Check out the area of the back wall. View and mark the center. Make use of the level and draw a vertical line a few inches of the mark. The first tile is being placed on the vertical line. Allow 1 / 8 of inch between the top and bottom tile. The space must be filled with silicone later.
