When it comes to tiling, I have found you need several books to glean enough details to do the job right. This is one to have.
However, the book lacks detail on some pretty basic issues. It provides some great tips that will make your life easier. This same lack of complete discussion of important details is apparent throughout the book. It's important to me to know that I can use a coil-nailer to attach hardibacker but wonderboard must be screwed down. 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. For example, the section on substrate offers no discussion on the different types available and the advantages or disadvantages of each. It's a good book but you may find that you need another one to fill in some of the blanks. More glaring is the lack of information on how to properly attach them to the sub-floor.
This book delivers exactly what it claims. I would recommend this book. It covers all the aspects of tiling that someone who needs to buy a book about it would want to know. I bought it as a refresher before a new project, not having tiled in quite a few years, and I even picked up a few great tips that I didn't know before.
Good book - I have recently read several vocabulary books and this one rates near the top.
I bought this book to tile my tub enclosure.a pretty popular tiling job. That's about the only thing it didn't instruct you on, but I think its a BIG hole in the book and now I need to buy another book."Tiling In-Complete" However, this book doesn't show you how to do it.
