Tile over tile is one of the most popular methods used for remodeling a bathroom floor. The following are the step by step process that will help you to learn how to tile a bathroom.

• Purchase pre-fabricated mats that suit your specifications and roll out the mats. You can easily opt for radiant systems, like Quickmat which are self-adhesive. These types of mats need no additional mortar to stick to the old flooring.
• You need to use a digital ohm meter to test the resistance power of your heating mats during the installation process. This is essential to avoid shot circuits.
• In case you have only one bathroom, you need to cover the heating mats if there are interruptions with heavy cardboard or plywood.
• Install the thermostat once your electrician connects the heating mats to the power source. However, you will have to wait until this gets inspected by your local electrical inspector before you start laying your new tiles.
• In addition, you will need to trowel out the mortar over your heating mats. You can either use epoxy-modified or latex- modified mortar along with grout. In fact, most of the systems work fine with at least 3/8 inch mortar beds.
• You also need to allow some time for the mortar to dry up properly before putting the system into full operation. This usually takes up to four weeks.
