Very American. Little advice on how to tile walls. Too much concentration on how to tile a worktop.

Trademan's Perspective
13 Jan 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Having been in the Bricklayers Union for 25 years, I have some knowledge of basic tile setting.
The authors explain simply and clearly through photos and text what I knew and far beyond.
Especially like the "trade secrets" and "What can go wrong" inserts.
Recommend it for novice or Pro.

great for the DIY'er

Format:Paperback
This book gave me the courage to tackle the floors and walls of my master bath, project is going great using the tips and techniques in the book. The "what can go wrong" feature has helped me from making shortcuts and costly mistakes.

Good but not great
28 Jan 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book does a good job of going through the necessary steps for the DIY'er to complete a tile job from start to finish. It provides some great tips that will make your life easier. However, the book lacks detail on some pretty basic issues. For example, the section on substrate offers no discussion on the different types available and the advantages or disadvantages of each. More glaring is the lack of information on how to properly attach them to the sub-floor. It's important to me to know that I can use a coil-nailer to attach hardibacker but wonderboard must be screwed down. This same lack of complete discussion of important details is apparent throughout the book. It's a good book but you may find that you need another one to fill in some of the blanks.
