How Do You Tile A Kitchen Counter Top?
The counter top is one of the most important aspects of a kitchen. When choosing a kitchen counter top, price is something to consider. Tile is a cheaper alternative to granite and still looks great. Tile a kitchen counter top yourself to save even more money. Turn off electric and water to the kitchen. Carefully remove the old counter top and sink. Measure the cabinets and cut a piece of plywood to fit. Attach the plywood to the cabinets using screws. Use cardboard to make a template the size of the sink opening. Draw where you would like the sink to go and cut out the opening with a jigsaw. Cut a piece of backing board the same size as the plywood, including the opening for the sink. Mix the thinset mortar according to instructions on the package. Apply a layer of mortar to the top of the plywood and lay the backing board on top. Secure with galvanized nails. Tile a kitchen counter top without mortar to see how the tiles fit. Rearrange the tiles until you find a pattern you like. Mea
