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

Smoothing the SurfaceThe straight edge tool is used to apply the proper slope to the surface.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

Tile PlacementFitting a tile into place on the dry mix with the weber adhesive already applied. 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

Close UpA close up showing how the adhesive stays mostly on the bottom of the tiles and doesn't fill the grout line. dozerSep 27, 2011

Cardboard SheetingCardboard rolls are used to protect the drying tiled surface prior to it being grouted. The cardboard rolls is widely available and is widely used in high end commercial projects.dozerSep 27, 2011

Mixing DrymixAnother batch of dry mix with the finished tile floor in the background.dozerSep 27, 2011

DrymixAnother shot of the tiles partially installed. Notice the guide line and dry mix concrete.dozerSep 27, 2011

SpacersThe spacers used are just box wrap that is about .75 mm in width. We've switched to using these instead of the plastic spacers as it is about the right grout line with most tiles.dozerSep 27, 2011

Two StepThe granito tiles are first laid and leveled in dry pack and then weber adhesive is applied to the back of the tile.dozerSep 27, 2011
