Introduction to Floor Tiles

This is the next project that I have completed compared to the kitchen, and because you might be able to say that experience certainly has its benefits. As a wedding gift for my wife, I changed the spare bedroom in our house into a bathroom. The clear choice for the waterproof properties of floor tiles as a necessity, the bathroom is another room that can benefit greatly from the use of floor tiles.

With more experience on my name, I decided to be a little more adventurous by adding a design to the tile compared to a single color scheme. This is actually quite simple to do, but only takes less time because of the math and additional cuts Plywood phenol involved. Once you become more comfortable with floor tiles, experimentation will only come as a natural development.

As for the grout that I use in this room, it's actually a mixture of two colors to get the right color that I want to match with the tile. It turned out very well without the high spots on the grout line because it was formed correctly, but I was lucky to do work with finished photos on the amount of grout. If you have ever mixed the grout color, to maintain the desired color, you must mix more than you need all in one batch when dry before the actual installation occurs.

Here, I stay away from using light-colored grout, and this has proven to be useful because grout has since maintained its original color. If you have ever found that an undesired grout staining occurs, I highly recommend that you use a stain remover product known as Stain Solver to overcome this problem.

Another addition to this room is the projection of floor tile design to the stairs going up to the corner tub. I basically just built a solid frame where the tub was installed, and then I fixed the plywood to the complete frame to form the steps.

After I was sure it was solid, I continued the tile floor pattern to the plywood, but aspects like this can certainly add time to your work because I discovered by trying to get tile corners and cut pieces of transitions cut to the right dimensions. This is of course a challenge, although now it is an interesting aspect to the room that we can enjoy for years to come.

It took Matt almost 3 years to perfect his book "A Unique Steps Guide: Making Floor Tiles Easier". He wants to make it as accessible as possible to people of all levels of Plywood phenolic experience. From 1st beginner, to veterans who have been tiled for years, this book covers everything needed to learn floor tiles, with lots of shortcuts and pro tips that make work faster and easier.
