The latest entry into the "Home How-to Handbook" series by esteemed do-it-yourself author Rick Peters covers one of the most versatile and useful materials for home remodeling: tile. With the practical advice provided here, anyone can begin laying tile like a pro in no time and produce a basic ceramic tile bathroom floor or a spectacular tiled countertop mosaic. There are instructions on laying backer board, cutting tiles with hand tools and power saws, shaping graceful curves, sealing fresh tile, and using various types of grout for maximum visual impact. Existing tile and grout replacement and repair are also featured, including smart ways to replace a damaged tile without replacing a whole wall and ideas for revitalising stained grout.
