Ceramic and Stone Tiling: A Complete Guide

Procedures, that are of vital importance, such as setting-out, are covered in considerable detail. The reader is told what can go wrong and given advice to rectify problems. Attention is also paid to tiling with terracotta, marble, slate and granite, that involve slightly different techniques compared to ceramic tiling. Presents highlighted, useful tips throughout the text. Well-illustrated with detailed, step-by-step colour photographs and diagrams.
