Figure 2 re
If it is decided to have the center row of tiles straddle either or both of the
center lines, additional guidelines should be snapped on the floor 1⁄2 tiles
width on one side of either or both center lines as required. (See Figure 2)
After the border widths have been determined and the center starting lines
have been snapped spread the recommended adhesive on the center lines
leaving portions of the lines at the center and near each wall uncovered as
shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3
Spread the adhesive over one-half the area and after it is ready, start laying
tile from the right angle formed in the center of the room by center lines.
Lay toward the two corners of the room as shown. Always refer to your guide
lines as you progress with laying so that a mistake can be corrected before it
is too late. Sometimes it’s necessary to compromise on the rightness of
joints to make allowances for unevenness or waves of the sub-floor. Take
care to place tile as accurately as possible without sliding them into place.
