Outer RowsThese are 'bezen' brand small tiles suitable for driveways and patios. The tiler will be using the outside rows as the basis for the pattern. Here straight lines are being generated using a red chalk string line. dozerSep 27, 2011

Patio TilingFirst the tiler prepares the surface. There will be a slight downward slope to the outside so that any water will drain off. dozerSep 27, 2011

Kitchen Glass TilesThe glass tiles will go under the upper cabinets. It is easier if the layout calls for the distance under the cabinets to correspond to the height of the tile sheets so no cutting is needed.dozerSep 27, 2011

Kitchen TilesThe smaller kitchen tiles being laid. Although it would be easy enough to get away with a wet mix one pass application, the tiler here also uses the dry mix two step process. Here the weber adhesive cement is being applied.dozerSep 27, 2011
