Working with Tile 2

Customer Service

Few building materials can match tile for durability, beauty, design -- and increasingly, popularity. This book combines an inspiring diversity of design ideas with well-illustrated, pro-level installation and repair techniques.

Tiling begins with a full range of design inspiration and options, with chapters on the characteristics, pros, and cons of different types of tile. Included here is a varied selection of completed installations, both indoor and outdoor.

Next come the details on tools and materials required for different projects. This part of the book contains trade secrets, tool-buying tips, common techniques, and safety procedures-all designed to help readers get the most professional results possible.

The remainder is taken up with specific projects based on the authors' extensive installation and repair experience. Using a highly visual approach, this section enables them to follow a project from start to finish through concisely captioned step-by-step photos.

There are more tile options available today than ever before - maybe too many. This book will help you find the right style and shape tile for any building or remodeling project, as well as select the best material.

Clear, step-by-step installation instruction from a veteran tile-setter will help you in each stage of the job. All areas of the home are covered, as are various types of tile - including ceramic, stone, slate, and glass.
