| Most Common Mistakes When Installing Ceramic-Tile-Flooring |

When installing ceramic tile flooring there are a few different common mistakes that people make. Some of them are:

- Installing ceramic tile flooring around appliances and toilets instead of under them
- Not wiping off the excess ceramic-tile grout before it hardens
- Not installing ceramic tile flooring on a level or smooth floor
- Not allowing concrete to fully cure before installing the ceramic tile

| Preparation for Installing Ceramic Tile Flooring |
|
|
Prepare you floor by removing any previous flooring materials and also move all appliances out of the room. Once that is complete ensure the floor is level. If it's not level apply a leveling compound. In addition, check and mark the heights of your doorways when installing ceramic tile flooring to ensure that the doors will open freely. Once you are past this stage you are ready to start installing your ceramic tile.

| Easy Installation of Ceramic Floor Tile |
|
The subfloor used when installing ceramic tile flooring can literally make or break your floor. Installing ceramic tile can be done by applying ceramic tile directly on the concrete substrate. However, you should wait at least 28 days for the concrete to cure. This method could lead to loose and cracked ceramic tile.
Underlay materials are traditionally plywood or mortar based. Plywood is time consuming to install, requires nails and the wood can expand and contract with the seasons causing tiles to pop out of place. This method could also cause nail popping, cracked ceramic tile and you must still wait for the concrete to fully cure before you start installing ceramic tile flooring materials.
 tile subfloor is specifically designed to replace traditional ceramic tile flooring underlays.  tile subfloor separates your ceramic tile flooring from the substrate while providing moisture protection and allowing your ceramic tile flooring to settle and contract and expand independently. In addition,  tile subfloor can be installed as soon as your ceramic tile flooring can handle foot traffic, helps prevent cracks from spreading to your ceramic tile flooring finish.
