1. Take a trowel to spread the mortar across your flooring, working at a 45-degree angle.

How to Install Ceramic Tile Floor in Bathroom?

Make sure there is no debris and the floor is dry, clean, and free of dirt.

• Determine the bathroom floor's measurements and design the tile arrangement.

• To guarantee uniform tile spacing, use tile spacers.

• Without using any adhesive, dry lay the tiles to check fit and make any necessary modifications.

Follow the manufacturer's directions for mixing thin-set mortar. Apply the adhesive evenly over a small area of the floor using a notched trowel.

• To provide strong adhesion, gently twist each tile as you press it firmly into the glue.

• To keep the distance between tiles constant, use tile spacers.

• To make sure the tiles are even and flat, use a level to inspect them.

• Measure and mark any tiles that must be trimmed to fit around obstructions like pipelines or corners.

• For accurate cutting, use a tile cutter or wet saw.

• Before grouting, let the adhesive cure in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.

• Blend the grout until it has a uniform texture.

• Press the grout into the crevices between the tiles at a 45-degree angle using a grout float.

• Using the float's edge, remove extra grout.

• After the grout has cured for ten to fifteen minutes, use a moist sponge to wipe the tile surface.

• Regularly rinse the sponge and replace the water as necessary.

• Before stepping on the floor or taking a shower, let the grout have the recommended amount of time to cure.

If you want to keep your grout free from moisture and stains, especially in a bathroom, you should seal it.

If you're unsure about any step, don't hesitate to seek advice from a professional or refer to additional resources for guidance. I hope this helps you understand how to lay ceramic floor tile in bathroom.
