Good tile work starts long before the first tile is installed.
In less than a minute, I’m showing one of the most important parts of any installation: proper preparation.
Before the uncoupling membrane goes down, we prime the plywood substrate. It’s a simple step, but one that helps improve adhesion, lock down surface dust, and create a better bonding surface for the mortar.
Most failures don’t happen because of what you see. They happen because of what was skipped underneath.
When you’re installing 48” x 48” porcelain, every layer matters. The foundation of a successful installation is built during the prep work, not on installation day.
Anyone can admire the finished product. Craftsmanship is found in the steps most people never see.
