Once you have a layout in place and have cut the tiles as per your need it is time to actually lay the floor tiles.
Installing tiles is a permanent job and you would like your work to go perfect.
It will take a lot of hard work and money to take out badly laid tiles and then restart tiling.
It is also advisable that you take a dry run before you actually use mortar and adhesive to lay the floor tiles.
While laying floor tiles you will require few equipment and tools.
Some are listed as follows:

• A good environment friendly grease and oil cleaner
• Adhesive (cement) to stick the tiles to the floor
• A trowel, brush or roller to apply the adhesive
• Grout

In order to lay floor tiles correctly it is paramount that you stick to your layout and measurements.
It is very important that you lay the first floor tile exactly where you have planned it to be in your layout, preferably at the centre of the room.
If you do not place the first tile correctly, your whole layout will go haywire.
Different tile experts have different ways of going about in laying the tiles.
But in general any job that involves laying floor tiles will include:

• Preparing the base floor by cleaning it with a good cleaner to get rid of any oil or grease.
  Remember the floor tiles will not stick to the floor if there is grease.
  

• Then taking a dry run to place the tiles as per your layout.
  This will give you a fair idea on where you may need to make adjustments or cut tiles so that it fits well.
  

• Then apply the cement by a roller or a trowel.
  It is very important that you lay the cement uniformly.
  Wait for fifteen minutes after laying the cement.
  Once ready, the cement should not be sticky.
  

• Finally start laying the tiles.
  Map to your layout and place the tiles at their correct positions.
  Do not slide the tiles on the cement.
  This will cause undulated finished surface and will not ensure that the floor tiles are firmly laid.
  When you reach the borders install the cut tiles perpendicular to the floor.
  

• Once the floor tiles are laid properly and pressed to the floor, apply grout over the floor using a rubber float.
  Grout will fill up the gaps between the tiles and will give your floor a uniform look.
  Often people use a locker to seal the grout joints so that dirt or grease does not accumulate in the grout joints.
  As we all know it is difficult to clean grout joints.
  

While doing it yourself is fun for many, laying floor tiles is a complex job and so one must concentrate on the intricacies of the process of laying floor tiles.
Once you have laid the floor tiles, let the floor cure for a week or so and then give it a good mopping.
