Tiling is one of the most popular, beautiful, and durable finishes in a home. And when done properly, it's richly rewarding for the homeowner, and highly profitable for the contractor.

Yet the finest tilework can easily fail if placed over a poor setting bed, or installed with the wrong materials, which can cause time-consuming and expensive callbacks. In this comprehensive guide to the best tiling practice, you'll learn step-by-step how to use the latest materials and methods in nearly every tile application.

Discover hundreds of expert guidelines, tips and techniques, including:
- The right tile, materials and installation methods for every job.
