However, it can be tedious job if you are not sure about how to install tile. It is essential to layout the tiles on dry floor and then install them cautiously on a well-prepared sub-floor. You first need to decide the base or the substrate of your ceramic tile. You can conveniently use a mortar bed with a thickness of at least 1.25 inch. Otherwise, the backer cement board is also a good option.

While selecting your ceramic tile, check its smoothness and durability. Most of the tiles are categorized as commercial, residential, industrial and light industrial.
