#TileBar Tip: We know that installing tile in your home for the first time can be daunting. Here's some advice to make your project perfect 👇⁠ ⁠ 🔹 Kitchen Backsplashes⁠ Before you start designing, be sure to measure the wall space. This will allow you to know how many tiles you need (always add 10% overage in case of breakage during shipment or installation error)⁠ ⁠ 🔹 Kitchen Floor⁠ You’ll want to make sure the floor is even. If you have tiled floors currently, remove them and clean debris. If you have wood floors, you can tile over them!⁠ ⁠ 🔹 Shower Floor⁠ Be sure to account for the drain. To do this, measure the size of the drain and then place it on top of your tiles. Cut your tiles with nippers to all form a circle, and sand down edges to be smooth⁠ ⁠ 🔹 Shower Wall⁠ Unlike a kitchen backsplash, shower walls are prone to mold and decay. You need to check the wall behind the removed tile for any signs of this to prevent a headache (or health hazard) down the road⁠ ⁠ Link in bio for more about tiling your home on our blog, The Tileist! ⁠ ⁠ Featured Product: ⁠ Portmore White 3 " x 8" Glazed Ceramic Wall Tile⁠ Designed By: @thegrovesathome
