Before you start applying your tiles, you’ll need to begin by measuring the space. Measure, then and mark out where you would like the tiles to go and the pattern you are hoping to achieve. If it helps, it may be best to use a spirit level so your markings are exact rather than just a rough guide. This wouldn’t be necessary if you plan on tiling the full wall, but if you only plan on tiling a small section, then doing this would be the best solution.

Before you start applying, ensure that the tiles are the correct way up for the pattern you are hoping to achieve. Then, once you have worked out your idealised pattern, place the tiles from the bottom edge of the wall outwards. Then, press the tiles hard into the moist adhesive until they are secure. One you have done so, use a grout trowel to make sure that the tiles are level before the adhesive dries and solidifies.

Once you have applied all of your tiles, the final step is grouting. You will need to ensure your tiles are fully dried before trying to grout, which can take up to 24 hours. If your tiles are located within bathrooms or kitchens, your grout will need to be waterproof so that your tiles don’t come loose. Apply with a grout spreader and once completed, clean off the excess grout as you go with a wet cloth.
