I typically pick the longest wall or the straightest line in the room that has the most exposure and start there with full tiles. Another method would be to find the center point of the room and lay your first tile there. Then when you get to the walls all opposite walls will have the same cut size.

What type of room would work best with square area rugs?

Square area rugs work best in a wide living or dining room. If the room is very long and narrow they will be too big and a more rectangular rug will work better.


Do you lay tile before or after trim?

Generally you would put the trim on after the tile is done. Especially if you are laying ceramic tile and need a mud base or cement board. If the room connects to another without tile, I would do the trim first. For example, the kitchen has tile and it flows directly to the dining room that has wood down and won't be replaced. If you put the trim down after the tile, the trim in the kitchen will be at least 3/4" taller then the dining room. This is only an issue when you have a really open floor plan.


A room is 12 m 15cm long and 8 m 91 cm broad the floor of the room is to be paved with square tiles find the length of the largest tile that can be usedby using HCF method?

To find the largest tile that can be used to pave the floor of the room using the Highest Common Factor (HCF) method, we first need to convert the dimensions of the room into the same unit. Converting 12m 15cm to cm gives us 1215 cm, and 8m 91cm to cm gives us 891 cm. The HCF of 1215 and 891 is 27 cm. Therefore, the largest tile that can be used to pave the floor of the room is a square tile with a side length of 27 cm.

What happens when installed ceramic tile is not level?

you can hide some leveling issues with the grout, but if it's really noticeable then the surface wasn't leveled out first (self-leveling concrete) or the person laying the tile didn't know what he was doing. the good thing about tile is that you can chip out the bad area, reset new tile and re-grout to fix it. you don't have to tear out the whole room or counter

What best flooring can install over ceramic?

Many things can go over ceramic with ease, but the "best" option is one which works in the room you're doing. For example, laminate flooring is most forgiving of the unevenness (groutlines) of ceramic tile and easiest to install - but I would not put laminate in a bathroom (it's not moisture resistant). For a bathroom, the best option over ceramic is sheet vinyl. Be sure to use leveling compound to smooth grout lines even with the surface of tiles first.

What are the key differences between a ceramic heater and a convection heater, and which one is more efficient for heating a room?

A ceramic heater uses a heating element to warm up ceramic plates, which then radiate heat into the room. A convection heater, on the other hand, heats up the air around it and circulates it throughout the room. In terms of efficiency, convection heaters are generally more efficient for heating a room because they heat up the air, which then rises and circulates to evenly distribute heat. Ceramic heaters are more focused and may not heat a room as evenly.


Is it difficult to do Ceramic Tile Installation?
