Generally, ceramic, porcelain, and stone tile can be installed on interior walls that are structurally stable, on plane, and consist of a suitable substrate. Suitable substrates include masonry, backer-board, gypsum board (drywall), or mortar beds. Many people, including professionals, like to use good quality mastics due to their extended pot life and their extended "on the wall time." Good quality mastics can be applied on the wall and still be able to hang tile twice as long as portland cement thinset of equal quality. Caution must be exercised that the mastic does not "glaze over" rendering the mastic too dry to bond the tile to the wall.

Tiling - Walls - Fit Only
Cold to stand on, but durable, water-resistant and resistant to stains and spillages. They are available in numerous colours, patterns and shapes and are made of natural clay, decorated on one side with coloured glaze. The surfaces are normally glazed, but are not as highly polished as wall tiles, while others are matt or have an unglazed finish. Unglazed tiles must be sealed with the correct proprietary sealant (recommended by the manufacturer) once laid. The stronger floor tiles are thicker and darker on their underside and often come in larger sizes. They are fired at a higher temperature (vitrified) so that the particles fuse together. This results in the tiles being almost unbreakable when laid

Tiling - Floor - Fit Only
Interior designers agree on one thing: there’s nothing quite as durably stylish as good-quality tiles carefully chosen, well-designed and properly applied. Always plan the design and layout on paper first, especially if you are going to mix shapes and designs. Take account of the fixtures and fittings in the room as the design will have to work alongside these features. Try to avoid patterned tiles at internal corners where they will have to be cut and the beauty of the design could be lost. Also try to avoid using a quarter or less of a tile on an end wall, as the small parts are very difficult to accurately cut without breaking the small end section. Remember to remove an inward opening door before starting to tile the room because the tiling will raise the level of the floor. Adjustments to the door will be required before re-hanging. Also remove any cupboard doors at floor level before starting to tile.

Tiled - Floor - Supply & Fit
"They provide a maintenance free, long lasting, and tough decorative surface finish which cannot be matched by any other form of covering. Ceramic floor tiles, quarry, terracotta, marble and slate are also available in a variety of styles so again you'll need to look around to find the ones which suit you.
Sizes are generally from 20cm square upwards to 33cm square. Floor tiles are thicker than wall tiles and some can be used indoors or outside. Look out for guidance on the packaging which indicates suitable areas for their use. Some are suitable for use on worktops as well as the floor. These are strong enough to resist harsh wear, impact, heat and cold but marble, for example, would not retain its appearance for long if regularly used as a chopping board!
To work out the number of tiles you need for a floor use the same method described previously for wall tiles, not forgetting to add on 10% for breakages and future repairs. Floor tiles are harder to cut than wall tiles and even the most experienced tiler will break one or two. Ceramic floor tiles can be cut with a Floor Tile Cutters but marble, terracotta, granite and slate are best cut with a 'wet' diamond tipped cutting wheel."
