Grouting, grouting and grouting

When you grout, make sure that you have the right tools for the job - a sponge with a mesh backing and a small pick. Start by cleaning the tiles with water and a mild detergent.  Use the scrubbing side of a sponge like the one pictured below and be sure to clean any mortar left behind in the grout lines with the pick.

When you are finishing a shower niche, lay the final tiles in this way:
  • top left side tile
  • top niche tile
  • top right side tile
Doing it this way ensures that the top tile will not fall before you get both side tiles in place.

More on tiling a shower ceiling...

When installing large tiles like 12x24 on a ceiling, ensure that your thinset mortar is mixed to a thick consistency.  Otherwise, you will need a hard hat as you can expect the tiles to fall on your head!  In addition, make sure you set the tile with some serious upward pressure for a good 20 to 30 seconds.  Visually, plan out your tile placement so that the joints on the ceiling tiles are offset from the joints on the wall.
