โš ๏ธ Common Tiling Mistakes to Avoid

โŒ Not Ordering Enough

Always add 10-20% waste. Tiles get discontinued, so you can't always reorder the same batch later.

โŒ Ignoring Pattern Direction

Diagonal and herringbone patterns require more waste. Use our pattern preview to plan correctly.

โŒ Wrong Thinset Type

Large tiles (>12") need medium-bed mortar. Small tiles work with standard thinset. Check manufacturer specs.

โŒ Skipping Layout Planning

Start from the center of the room and work outward. This ensures balanced cuts on all edges.
