Why Choose DIY Tiling? 🤔

Not to mention, it's incredibly satisfying to step back and admire your own handiwork—a true conversation starter! 🗨️✨

Getting Started: What You’ll Need 🛒

Before you dive into the world of tiles and adhesives, here are a few essentials you’ll need for your tiling project:

• Measuring Tape and Straight Edge: Accuracy is key in tiling. Measure twice, cut once!
• Tile Cutter: Rent one from your local tool shop to get the perfect fit for your unique space. Wet saws are ideal for natural stone tiles to avoid chipping.
• Notched Trowel and Float: These are your best friends for spreading tile adhesive and grout evenly.
• Utility Knife and Sponge: For cutting mesh backing and cleaning up excess grout.
• Protective Gear: Don’t forget your safety goggles and gloves!
