Bathroom Shower Wall Tile Installation
The average 5 ft.
Bathroom shower wall tile installation. Before you begin to install the tile figure out the layout of your tile scheme after measuring all areas to be tiled as well as the tiles. Border tiles border around field tiles while accent tiles are used to add interest usually intermixed with field tiles. Before you start setting tile take some measurements and see how the tiles will all lay out image 1. Bathroom costs approximately 1 000 1 500 to demo and install new floor tile and tub surround.
Save time by setting several tiles at once. On the ceiling and floor of the shower we used 2 x 2 tiles and on shower walls 2 x 4 tiles. Sanded grout is difficult to get into small joints so adding non sanded grout helps thin it out so it can be applied more easily and aids application on walls. This is a dusty job so use plastic to cover your doorways wear a respirator that s rated for dust cover the floor with a drop cloth and make sure there s plenty of ventilation.
A stand up shower needs twice as much tile which will add on another 2 000 3 000. Use a mix of 75 percent sanded grout and 25 percent non sanded grout. In our project we set the tile for the wall opposite the shower door first.
