How to build the bathroom Backsplash - Precise tutorial

First,
Mark out the border on the wall where you want your Backsplash, using your level and pencil. Use the square to make sure the corners are all 90 degrees. Draw a vertical line through the middle of the area from top to bottom.


Second,
Use your notched trowel to spread adhesive over the whole area. Press your tiles into place, starting at the center line on the bottom row. Let the nubs at the sides of the tiles keep a consistent space between them, including an area between the bottom edges of the bottom row of tiles and the vanity top.


Third,
Hang trim tiles around the outer perimeter to border it. Make cuts as needed with your tile cutter. Allow the tiles to set overnight.


Fourth,
Apply grout to the tile surface by spreading it with the grout flout, using the long edge to force grout into the spaces between the tiles while scraping it off the surface. Let it sit in the lines for 10 minutes, then wipe off the excess grout with a damp sponge. Note that you should not grout the bottom horizontal space between the lowest row of tiles and the vanity top.


Fifth,
Let the grout set for a day. Run a bead of caulk along the bottom horizontal space between the lowest row of tiles and the vanity top, sealing the line.


Sixth,
Let the grout cure for an addition four to five days. Apply grout sealant over the grout lines using a paintbrush.
