Tips on replacing a tile bathroom floor.
Home improvement projects can seem to take forever but one of the quickest and most satisfying is to upgrade the bathroom with a new bathroom floor. This can be accomplished in just a weekend with a little preparation and by having all the materials on hand. The first step of the project is to choose the type of flooring that will be put down.
No matter the type of flooring, whether it is sheet goods or tile, a proper measurement of the floor space will need to be taken. The first measurement is intended to get an overall size of the room in square footage. Go from wall to wall in both directions and multiply these together to arrive at this dimension. Do not take the tub, shower, commode, or vanity into account when making this measurement.
The extra tile that is left from where these items sit will be kept as spares should any damage occur over the life of the new bathroom floor. This is a good practice, particularly when buying discontinued tile colors or styles, because in a few years the right replacement may not be found. The consumer should always order just a bit more than is needed when installing a floor of this type.
Be sure to have more than enough adhesive on hand so will not be a need to stop in the middle of laying the new bathroom floor to run out for more. There are a few types of adhesive available but Thinset or another powder type adhesive that is mixed with water before application is recommended. This product comes in bags and permits the mixing of the exact amount needed and storage of the rest for future use.
The removal and installation will go quite quickly and the use of Thinset will ensure that the tile is ready for grouting the second day. The grout is also available in powder form for mixing only what is needed. Installing a new bathroom floor can be a great weekend project for any homeowner.
