Nevertheless you should ensure that the tile is placed properly level and plumb. Press it firmly into the adhesive. Install tiles one through four as directed. Step 1 prepare the wall.

Slightly rock the sheet up and down perpendicular to the trowel lines to collapse the ridges and help the tile settle into place. Then place another tile on the loose one and up against the tile on the wall. Ceramic tiles can be installed directly on drywall plaster or if they are in moist areas onto green drywall or even better cement backer board. Mark the loose tile and cut it to fit along the edge.

Align it carefully with the horizontal and vertical layout lines. To install ceramic wall tile use a level and measuring tape to mark the tile locations on the wall with chalk.
