Can Ceramic Tile be applied directly to a cement slab floor that is dry?
A. Yes, ceramic tile can be installed over a cement slab floor using thinset. Q. We need advice on installing a Diamond Pattern tile floor. A. This is a complicated layout. Lay out your floor with chalk lines in the center of the floor perpendicular to the walls. Then bisect those lines with another line, which will then give you the line for your diamond pattern. This will be centered in the room at 90 degrees from square to the walls. Proceed to lay your tiles from the center out to the edge. You may also want to consider professional assistance for this project if you don’t have much experience with tile installation.
