tile7.jpgThese tiles were installed on a solid concrete base so no preparation was required. The rigidity of the base is very important in preventing future cracks. Ensure the base is completely solid before laying tiles. Each tile should be level with the next. If the floor is not level, use more (or less) thinset to make small adjustments in the level as you go. Tile spacers will keep grout lines consistent.
