I've tiled the walls and floors in my bathroom and want to install a tile baseboard. what kind of adhesive would work. Thanks
A good construction adhesive will work even though you should have incorporated the baseboard in with the wall tiling. After the adhesive dries you can use a silicone caulk around the edges.
Don't half-a* it with glue....do it correctly: take off the bottom row of wall tile. install the tile base cut the wall tiles the proper size to fill in the remaining gap between the base and next row of tile.
Hi, I'm Nick The Tile Man. You can purchase thin-set mortar from Lowe's, Home Depot or your local tile supplier. It should cost about 30 dollars or less. It will bond onto tiles. Check out my web site for free information for all tile repair work.
Both glazed Bathroom Ceramic Tiles can be laid directly onto a concrete floor, as long as the floor is dry and in good sound condition. After the floor has been nicely prepared what now? Well, the next step is to start laying out those tiles of yours. If you want the end result to look professional, then careful setting out of the tiles will be required. Now here comes the part of installing the Bathroom Ceramic Tiles which isn't a very complex job. Instructions on how to lay the Bathroom Ceramic Tiles, arrange, cement and other attributes are all over the Internet or home improvement guides. At the onset, you need to find the center of the floor and lay the tiles from there as it creates a feeling of visual symmetry. When arranging the tiles, you must make sure that the Bathroom Ceramic Tiles design is laid such that it creates continuity in the design. And yes, ensure that your tiles blend with the color of the wall or the general theme of your bathroom wall and the fittings. You could also install a tile heater to give your feet the warmth as you step on it, a very good feature to have especially during winters or to avoid that sharp chill you'd encounter early in the morning. You could also use a relatively warm color shade to offset the cool look of the bathroom fixtures.
Most ceramic tile base profiles are to be installed against the wall, and not over the wall tile. Some tile manufacturers do provide a profile known as an Applied After base board tile. These tiles will have a radiused top, not a flat one. They are best applied with thin-set cement; or by using whatever adhesive the manufacturer specs out for their installation. When in a pinch, clear adhesive silicone works great for bonding tile to a slippery surface. Use strips of blue painter's tape to hold the tiles in place, as the silicone takes about 18 - 24 hours to set up to the point you can grout the tiles.
