all of these tiles will be tricky. "Large Format Tiles" are considered anything with a dimension greater than 15" in one dimension, and all of these tiles qualify for that designation. In order to set tiles of this size, you need to have two things in the substrate: stiffness and flatness. For flatness, the typical requirement is not more than 1/8" variation in 10' in any direction. (Keep in mind that a typical floor is built to 1/4" in 10', so this is twice as flat); and you need a stiffness requirement of l/480 or better. Stiffness is the amount that a floor moves up and down when someone walks on it, or a load (such as furniture) is placed on it. Most residential floors will have to be laid down with plywood and the substructure reinforced to meet these requirements -- and that often means that doors will have to be reset to accommodate the extra thickness. The 24" x 24" tile is going to be easier to handle.

How would you install ceramic tile the right way?

You need to measure your wall/floor accurately to work out the square footage of tiles needed. Your tile supplier will be able to work this out for you if you take along your measurements. Your walls/floor will then need to be clean and free of old tile adhesive. You may need to install a new hardboard floor to cover old floorboards. Use a spirit level then starting from the longest straightest part begin to install your tiles. You will need an adhesive suitable to the weight of the tile you are using, a tile cutter to cut tiles to fit odd gaps and grout to finish off the joints between the tiles. Use spacers to ensure that the tiles are laid out evenly. A good DIY book will have all the information you need to make a good job of this task.


What should I know before installing floor tile?

You should know the measurements of the space to be tiled and the measurements of the tile that you plan to buy. Before installing tile you will need to repair any cracks, bumps or dips. You should remove any trim around the floor. And, if doing a bathroom remove the toilet. Good things to know before installing floor tile would be how long the floor will take to set, as well as if you have all the necessary tools to complete the job. Most floor tile installs will require some tiles to be cut, so make sure you can measure and cut the tiles as needed. The installation of the tiles will depend on the instructions listed on the tiles you have picked out so make sure you read these carefully before starting.

How many 4 inch tile to cover 10 X 10 area?

If it is a 4inch by 4inch (1/3foot by 1/3foot)tile and it covers a 10ft by 10ft area then it will take 900 of these tiles to cover the whole floor. If you walk ten feet on a edge of this floor then you will have to place 30 tiles along this edge. Since the area is a square area then to find the amount of tiles just multiply 30 by 30 to get 900tiles.
