Tile borders bring visual interest to a room but require some planning prior to installation. This is particularly true when, as pictured below, the border tile is much thinner than the wall tile. In order to set the tiles flush, you need to build up the surface evenly with thin-set mortar and let it set overnight. This is an essential step. If you tried to apply a large amount of thin-set mortar all at one time to offset the differential, the tiles would sink unevenly, creating a wavy surface. These extra steps are what create a great finished product and why quicker and cheaper are not always better.
