PREPARE Setting our cement tile is not difficult. Preparation is
a key component to success. Remember these tiles are porous
and can be stained by dirt, thinset, chalk, pencil marks, and
greasy hands. Try to plan your installation so it is the last major
step of your project, to prevent other trades from needing to
traffic or work over the new installation.
