Tiling is one of the most popular, beautiful, and durable finishes in a home. And when done properly, it's richly rewarding for the homeowner, and highly profitable for the contractor. 
 Yet the finest tilework can easily fail if placed over a poor setting bed, or installed with the wrong materials, which can cause time-consuming and expensive callbacks. In this comprehensive guide to the best tiling practice, you'll learn step-by-step how to use the latest materials and methods in nearly every tile application. 
 Discover hundreds of expert guidelines, tips and techniques, including: - The right tile, materials and installation methods for every job. - The best details for long-lasting floor, wall, countertop, and shower installations. - How to assess and reinforce a structure before installing tile. - Preparing plywood, concrete, and other surfaces for proper tile adhesion. - Foolproof techniques for tiling out-of-level and uneven surfaces. - Preventing common cracks and water leaks with movement joints. - Using tile membranes for 100% waterproof installations. - Perfecting grout joints to protect tile edges, slow water penetration, and resist staining. - On-the-job tips, tricks, and jigs for getting the most out of tile tools and equipment. - And much more...
