HomeSkills: Ceramic Tile: How to Install Ceramic Tile for Your Floors, Walls, Backsplashes & Countertops Review: Absolutely wonderful book! Had an answer to every one of my questions! - Wonderful instructional manual for the tiling novice. I tried watching a few videos to see if I could learn to tile myself and finally decided to buy a book. I purchased this book based on the great reviews and I have to agree with them all. It really breaks down every aspect of tiling. It goes into details about prepping the area (demolition and deconstruction), how to prep a floor or wall for tiling (cement board, thin set, etc), and then has great details on how to do the tiling, how to space the tile, what grout to use based on the spacing, how to cut tile for edges and obstacles and so much more. I also like how it goes into great detail to describe the various tools you will need to get the project done and what they are used for. Nothing is worse than starting a project and getting stuck because you don't have the right tool. I find a book is so much more useful than looking at a video online. Review: Four Stars - As my first time working with ceramic tile, this book was very helpful.

Comprehensive and clear instructions
Provided me with a basic understanding of the tile process. I supplemented these instructions by going on line to view do it yourself instructions. My installation was more complex and time consuming than I anticipated, but I am very happy with the finished job.

Very Basic
We were expecting a little more information to help us on our wall tiling project. This is just the basics and not much detail. We received more info at the hardware store than this book provided.

There are good tile installing techniques in this book
There are good tile installing techniques in this book. I make mosaics and install them as backsplashes but the application is about the same as if you were installing larger ceramic tiles.

Book
This book has very good instructions! Great Book I would recommend it to any first time laying tile. There are too many requirements for leaving feedback.

Nice Book
Lots of good information even if you are just buying tile and having it installed. I is nice to know what your contractor is doing.
