Step 4: Establishing reference lines (tile layout)
• Floors
• Walls
Always start laying the tiles from a fixed horizontal line drawn using a spirit level. Never assume that floors or ceilings are straight or that corners are at perfect 90 degree angles. Ensure that the row of tiles you lay end to end will finish with tiles requiring large cuts as its is much easier to cut a tile in half than cut a very thin strip of each tile at either end. You must always allow for spacing between tiles (for grout) and for sealants (in corners) to allow wall expansion and contraction.
