Proper layout before installing wall tiles in a shower is crucial. It allows you to balance the design, minimize the number of cuts and estimate the number of tiles needed. Prior to beginning the measurement and layout process, you should have an idea of the design you are planning, so that you do not make mistakes from planning on the fly. Measure the tiles by butting 10 tiles together, including spacers, and measuring the total length of the row. Divide the total length by 10 to get the unit dimension, which will be used for the layout. Measure the height of the shower wall to be tiled and draw a horizontal line through the midpoint with a felt tip pen. Extend the line to all three walls of the shower using a 4-foot level to create the mid-height line. Measure the width of the back wall of the shower and draw a vertical line through the midpoint, using a 4-foot level. Extend the line to create the mid-width line. Divide the mid-width dimension by the tile unit dimension. If the remai
