Mark two central perpendicular lines on the floor from the chosen center. Lay the first tile from the middle and move towards the walls. This method of laying floor tiles is well suited for rooms with irregular wall geometry (bay windows, ledges, etc.) and also for laying with a panel in the center of the room.

After laying 1-1.5 square meters of floor, you saudi arabia mobile database clean the joints between tiles from excess mortar. Clean with a plastic spatula. After cleaning, the joints should be washed with a not very wet sponge. Do not put off cleaning the joints.

Cutting floor tiles
The tiles of the outer row will have to be cut to width. Trim the tiles with a manual angle grinder.

Move the spatula in a herringbone pattern toward the joint with pressure. The last movement of the spatula should be along the joint to remove excess.
