When you lay tiles, you want to do precision work and protect your hands against cut wounds. After all, tiles can have treacherously sharp edges. Wear gloves that are finger-sensitive, yet sturdy and protective.
Be sure to wear a face mask to protect yourself against adhesive vapours and the dust from sawing. The right earmuffs are not a luxury, either. Always read and follow the instructions on the packages.
Provide a clean and dry base.
Choose the right tile adhesive. The product that is best for you depends on the wall or floor, the type of substrate, the type of tile and the size of the tile.
Always be sure to ventilate the room well.
Spacers and string gaskets are useful aids for creating equal distances between tiles.
Use a knee pad or a folded blanket to kneel comfortably.
A specialised cleaning cloth, for example Big Wipe brand, is always handy to have around.
