How do you install subway tile?
One of the beauties of subway tile is its easy installation. Here is how to install your subway tile backsplash:
- Determine your installation pattern: There are various ways to install your subway tile, from horizontal to vertical to a zigzag pattern. Looking for inspiration? Check out our blog Top 4 Subway Tile Installation Patterns.
- Measure the area and purchase the appropriate amount of tile—typically enough to cover 10% more than the space you’ll be installing it over.
- Remove outlet and light switch covers.
- Visualize the design. Use a pencil to mark out where tiles will lay, taking into account grout lines and where partial pieces will be needed. Then, lay the tile out on the floor or counter below where it will be installed.
- Cover the area below and above the installation wall to prevent damage to counters, floors, cabinets, and other fixtures.
- Rub the area you are tiling with 80-grit sandpaper.
- Use a trowel to spread enough mastic to the wall to tile approximately 4 linear feet of one row of tiles—this will ensure the mastic doesn’t dry before you finish with the section.
- As you lay your tiles, separate them with spaces.
- Cut partial tiles when needed.
- Allow the tiles to set for 24 hours before removing spacers and spreading grout over the tiles with a grout float.
- Use a sponge to remove any excess grout.
- Caulk the edges between tiles and cabinets, windows, and appliances.
