When planning a bathroom renovation, almost all people wonder what to do first: install a bathtub or tile the room? Both of these options have the right to be considered correct, because the choice of one or another sequence depends on several factors. The material from which the bathtub is made, the size of the bathroom, the skill and responsibility of the tiler and plumber are taken into account. Let's consider the features, advantages and disadvantages of both repair sequences.
In this case, first the bathroom is completely tiled (walls and floors), and then the plumbing is brought into the room and installed.
The junction of the bathtub with the wall is sealed with sanitary silicone with antifungal additives or covered with a decorative plinth.
The advantages of this method include the convenience of performing the work, since nothing interferes with the master. There is also no risk of damage to plumbing equipment. Another plus is that it’s easy to replace the bathtub with a new one, if necessary.
The main disadvantage is that silicone sealant(even sanitary), mold forms over time and has to be replaced.
Note! According to the manufacturers' instructions, this method is mandatory for use when installing an acrylic bathtub.
First the bath, then the tiles
In this case, a bathtub is brought into the room prepared for laying tiles and placed. This method is most often used when installing cast iron bath, because if you bring it in after finishing works, tiled flooring can cause serious damage.
After installing the plumbing, the bathroom tiles are laid. With this method of wall cladding, the bathtub turns out to be embedded or built into the tiles. The tiles should not rest on the edge: a gap of 1–2 mm is left, which is filled with sanitary sealant or a waterproof fugue, for example, based on epoxy resin.
This technology has several advantages:
- The edges of the bathtub are recessed into the lining, so the water flows directly into it.
- Also the bath takes less space due to the fact that it is built into the cladding. This is important for small combined bathrooms.
- Tiles are saved, since with this technology the wall behind the bathroom is not tiled.
The disadvantages of finishing the walls after installing a bathroom include the fact that the equipment must be protected from dirt and the possible fall of tools, tiles or other objects inside, which will damage the enamel. After installation, it is recommended to line the bathtub with cardboard and cover plastic film, and put thick plywood on top so that the master can veneer the wall above it.
Option number three
This option is considered optimal for steel baths, but suitable for any type. After preparing the bathroom for finishing, a bathtub is brought into it and installed, but not connected to the communications. Markings for laying tiles are made according to the actual location of the equipment (along the side). After marking is completed, the bathtub is moved to the side or taken out, and they begin to line the walls, while the tiles are mounted not from the floor, but from the marked line, taking into account the gap. Another option is to start laying the tiles from the floor, and make a gap the width of the side to move the bathtub close to the wall. When the installation is complete, the bathtub is installed and connected to the sewer system, and a mixer is connected to the water outlets.
Advantage this method– the bathtub is protected from the risk of damage during wall finishing. Also, the sides are recessed into the tiles, which preserves effective area bathroom. Among the disadvantages, they note the need to maintain accurate markings: even with a slight mistake, the bathtub simply will not fit into the prepared “niche”.
Nuances when performing work
When planning the layout of the tiles, it is taken into account that it is advisable to lay whole tiles near the side and above the ceiling: this way the finish looks more attractive. If whole tiles do not fit the height of the wall, practice decorative design border - such inserts make the cladding elegant and original.
Before sealing the joint with the wall or starting to lay tiles from the side, the bathtub is filled with water so that it shrinks.
If you choose the option with a bathtub recessed into the cladding, you should understand that if it is necessary to replace the equipment, the tiles adjacent to the side will have to be dismantled.
The material of the bathtub is of primary importance when choosing the order of work in the bathroom. In an already finished sanitary room, it is recommended to install acrylic, corner, hydromassage and large (non-standard) size products.
A Jacuzzi should not be built into tiles, as repairs will require moving the equipment away. Cast iron bathtubs are ideal for built-in installation. With steel products, both options are acceptable, since they weigh little and are strong enough to stand on the side when finishing walls.
You should also listen to the opinion of the experts: specialists with extensive experience will determine on site best option taking into account specific situation and circumstances.

A rather pressing question these days is whether the tile comes first or the door, and the answers to it are divergent and contradictory. Here everything depends on a number of circumstances, and on the one hand you may need to first lay out the tiles and then install the doors, but in another case you will need to do everything exactly the opposite. And let's look at each of the options in more detail, and decide that first the doors or tiles in the bathroom.
Type of repair
Suppose you decide to renovate your bathroom, and just how large-scale it will be will also contribute to the selection of the algorithm and will tell you to install bathroom doors before or after the tiles. There are at least three options to consider here:
- When the bathroom was previously renovated, but you just wanted to change the tiles, then no one will dismantle the door frame, and in in this case the tiles are laid already at installed door and subsequently adjusted to it.
- In the second case, when a large-scale renovation is planned, taking into account the replacement of the door frame and door. Here the installation must be carefully thought out, and only in this case the tiles are laid first and then the door is installed.
- And the third situation is a complete renovation from scratch. The condition is also applicable here, as in the second case, but note that when installing a door frame, the laid tile may fall off and be damaged, which is why it is installed in the first place door frame, the doors are tried on, and only then the canvas itself is removed, and installation is carried out at installed box. Subsequently, the tiles are either adjusted to the door or the imperfections are hidden by platbands.
Place for laying tiles
Where the tiles are laid is also important. Here, as you know, there can be only two options:
- installation on the wall.
And the sequence of work will also depend on them. Let's take a closer look at both situations and decide what to do first: tiles or doors?
- When the tiles are laid under the door in the bathroom, then the decision is made that the ceramics should be installed first, and then the door should be installed. But at the same time, with the door already installed, the tiles can be placed under the door frame, which will be somewhat more difficult.
- But in the bathroom, a prerequisite is to first install the frame, then lay the tiles, and only then install the trim and install the door itself.
Box mounting option From here we can take a lesson that the tiles on the floor are laid first, and the doors only then, but the door frame itself is installed first. And now, in addition to such factors, it is worth paying attention to the pros and cons of installing doors before and after the tiles, which will actually help you decide on the correct sequence.
Why is it better to install doors after tiles?
First, let's look at the factors that indicate that it is necessary to install doors after tiling:
- When installing the door before the tiles, there is a risk of damaging it during finishing.
- In some cases, the design will interfere with the work.
Connector of tiles with laminate through the threshold There are practically no other reasons to install doors after the tiles, but on the other hand, in this case there is a high risk of damaging the tile itself when installing the doors.
To install the door after laying the tiles, it is important to clearly set all levels on the floor and wall, and observe the installation gaps. Most professional craftsmen will answer that it is better to install doors after finishing works. This will save expensive door from damage during repairs.
It is possible to file the installed door under the laminate Installing the door to the tiles
And now let's look at the factors that indicate that you should install the doors first, and then lay the tiles.
Floor level difference - First of all, the doors are installed in the opening of the previous one, but nevertheless there is a risk of damaging the surface of the floor and walls. In cases where the tiles have already been laid, there is a high risk of damaging it during the work.
- In some cases, it may even happen that the size of the door will slightly mismatch the opening and there will be a need to expand it. Even by just a few millimeters of increase, vibration during installation can cause the tile to burst or simply fall off.
- In addition, as a result of the load on the walls, the doorway may be slightly skewed, so it will no longer be possible to install the door perfectly straight and it will be blocked. Most of the walls are not level, and just installing the box perfectly plumb will serve as a beacon for their alignment in the future.
Thus, it becomes clear that you should not lay the tiles forward at all, since they can subsequently be destroyed and damaged.
Therefore, it all depends on what you choose.
And as a result, multiple statements that the tiles are laid first, and only after that the door is installed, are erroneous. At a minimum, by carrying out work in this way, you risk spending extra money, since you will have to redo part of the wall cladding. IN best case scenario, of course, everything will work out well, but at the same time the risk of damage is too great.
As a last resort, when finishing, you can remove the door leaf itself, also remove the trim; if this is not possible, then cover them with film, which will help avoid contamination and damage.
It is important to take into account that doors absorb moisture, and installation can only be done after the plaster has dried and other wet work has been done.
High humidity in the room is indicated by condensation on the windows.
Otherwise, if there are small gaps in the frame, the doors will begin to scrape, and after repairs, large gaps may appear or the door leaf may even twist.
Thus, in the question of what comes first: a tile or a door, for the most part we choose the option based on the situation. And in addition, we offer you several videos in which experts expressed their opinions.
Today the main work is the box.
I would like to say that for me personally the sequence of masonry is important here. For the seams that exist, they need to converge, for them to come together. I adjust the seam horizontally so that it goes from start to finish.
Well, there is such a moment, I somehow didn’t pay attention to this before special attention. First, it is still better to lay two tiles on the left side. That is, this one and this one.
But before laying, adjust these tiles. It is slightly sawed and placed under the already laid tiles.
That is, first you need to mark it, how it will lie and then put them together. If you lay the tiles separately, then adjusting them will be too problematic.
Therefore, I initially mark these tiles and lay them together to bring out this seam. You can even look here to make it clear what I’m talking about. That is, attach a corner. You can see that he is jumping a little. If we first lay these two tiles together in the corner. That is, this big one and this small piece, and then we’ll try to cover it with a lid. Due to flaws in the tile itself, this seam may come apart.
To avoid this, we will try to lay the larger side first, and here these flaws are already compensated for.
Well, when these two tiles were already laid, then I laid these sidewalls. Well, and then I completely stretched out this entire row.
I won't post it in parts. I'll pull this row through first. It will be much smoother this way. Then it will be much easier to adjust this side panel. I'll turn on the laser. Well, let’s say arbitrarily, I placed it on the edge and already along the edge, that is, I initially cut these tiles a little with a margin.
I took this size, cut it off a little with a margin, and then sawed them. I just twist and saw through. Here they are all ready for me. That is, they are all sawn through already.
Well, then I made a groove and now I will run this row completely so that it can be pressed with a rule. That is, fully expose it, as needed, and then just lay down the side part.
How to cut tiles correctly
On a side note, what other point did I want to draw your attention to? Here, let's take this tile.
That is, it is clear that the tiles are not sawed all the way to the glaze. The rest is simply sanded off later. And here is the moment when you need to use sandpaper in one direction. Under no circumstances should you move back and forth. Otherwise, the crumbs that fall off the sandpaper can simply catch the glaze.
Well, before working on the fittings in general, I still do this test. I have a piece of tile. That is, I do a test cut on any regular tile, because they still differ from each other, and the strength of the glaze differs from each other. I make a test cut; I have Zasuitsky tiles on both sides. That is, on the one hand, if you take any tile and look. Let’s say that here the glaze and the ceramic meet right here at the very junction. And on the back side of the tile, the glaze goes inward.
And so, in general, in most tiles. Therefore, on the one hand we have a little more, on the other a little less. And I will do this test wash so that I run it more, more and more and determine at what point the glaze begins to tear. In order to somehow make such a limitation for yourself in the future. What can no longer be sawed, then you need to work manually.
Well, and then, as I said, I will initially work with ventilation. Here you need to make ventilation so that “ceiling workers” can come and stretch the ceiling and install lamps. Well, then there will be work on the floor. That's all for now.

Are bathroom tiles placed on the floor or walls first? First the walls. You don't want to damage the floor if it's the other way around, do you? It happens that a tool falls, a tile is dropped, even if you lay hardboard on top - it will still break through in some places. Read about masonry methods at Http://dushik.ru/start.html Of course, on the walls! Floor, then a bathtub is placed on the floor, and from the level of the bathtub, tiles are laid on the walls. On the walls.
Victoria Krysova
We are renovating the bathroom. A dispute arose: should the tiles be laid on the floor or on the walls first? There are so many tilers - so many opinions. I tried it in different ways, and for myself I chose - first the floor, so that later I could rest the walls on a horizontal surface. In addition, floor tiles are cut much worse than wall tiles - they can’t be used on finished walls... Either way is correct, but it’s better to start with the walls, then if the floor is not perfect, the bottom tile can be cut so that the seam is the same around the entire perimeter.
Kristina Lokhotskaya
When renovating a bathroom, should you tile the floor or the walls first? On the walls first, stain the floor - complete nonsense; if the door is changed, then you should start with it, then adjust the new floor to the threshold, and then lay the walls on a flat floor horizon, thereby covering the undercuts on the floor. sequence... On the walls. On the walls On the floor. then a bath and then tiles on the walls. If you put it on the floor first, you need to wait until it hardens and when laying tiles on the walls, the new floor can be stained

Laying tiles in the bathroom (+) What is the correct way to lay tiles on the walls first, and then on the floor, or vice versa? First the walls, and then the floor. First they put me on the floor. First the walls, then the floor! It doesn’t matter in what order they are laid, the main thing is that the floor tiles go under the wall tiles, so that water from the wall flows onto the floor tiles, and not into the seam. First the walls, and then the floor. This is more convenient for anyone. In any case, if you want to lay tiles on the floor and walls, the order of the work does not affect the technology in any way. Here everything rather depends on desired result(size of joints, what tile...

Should I tile the bathroom floor or walls first? First you need to align the walls, according to the beacons, and only then, otherwise it will be like this, like a bull pissed, oh, sorry, peed.

Gleb Chugin
Do the bathroom doors go in first or do the tiles go in first? Everyone gives different advice. And when should I lay tiles on the floor? Thank you. The doors are placed after gluing the walls and floor - on the finished floor. Then the tiles are glued around the door and tile slopes or door extensions are made. After that, all the glued tiles are rubbed down and that's it. Yana has been working on tiles for about 10 years! First, the door with the frame is installed!

Valeria Fatieva
Please tell me where to start laying tiles in the bathroom, from the floor or from the walls? Do you need tiles behind the bathtub? When to install the bathtub? First, lay the tiles on the floor, it’s easiest, then install the bathtub, lay out the walls, there’s no point in laying tiles behind the bathtub, no one will ever see the space between the bathtub and the tiles and seal the seams with silicone. Walls, floor, bath. First the floor, then you try on the bathtub, remove it, then the walls, then the final installation of the bathtub. Behind the bathroom - at your discretion, but you can save money.

What should you do first in the bathroom, the ceiling or the tiles? And why is this so? At first our floors were leveled. then they laid the tiles, then the ceiling. Ceilings last. Depends on the ceiling covering. If it is something in the form of paint (whitewash), then they are the first. If they are tensioned or suspended, then they are the last ones. I did the ceiling last. I have it in tension. But at the same time I left a place for it, that is, it was without tiles. Stretch ceilings are not so easy to make. If you decide to make a different type of ceiling, then do it first...
Ksenia Gorshkova
Why should you first lay tiles in the bathroom or change the door? First, you need to level the walls in the bathroom, and then decide whether the tiles will fit the frame or whether there will be a wooden panel with trim on the side of the bathtub. Based on this, the issue is resolved. First the door, then the tile under the door, you will have to adjust the Door tile first, then the tile! Change the door of course. Everything is much simpler! A false frame is installed (this is if the platband is only on one side and the tile fits directly to the frame), the tiles are brought in, and then after all the work the door with a new frame is installed
Alexander Richter
Tell me, are the tiles in the bathroom laid first on the floor or on the walls? Otherwise, every master says something different! Before the light bulb, look where the most beautiful one is and put it second. I put it on the walls and then on the floor. This way the floor doesn't get dirty. Each master says something different because everyone’s bathroom is different, and each master has his own method. but there is no single rule, you need to look at the screed, the walls, how and where the pipes run, and how you will hide them, and so on.
Artem Pelyavin
Where to start laying tiles in the bathroom from the floor or from the walls (leveling is the first thing) From the floor. It is better to lay the tiles from the second row from the floor and from the corner that will be clearly visible when entering the bathroom. How to do this can be found on www.youtube.com. First you need to make a screed, then lay out the floor, and then lift the walls off the floor! well, it depends on the walls, but definitely from the floor
Natalia Titova
In the bathroom, you need to put tiles, where to start with the floor or walls? In fact, it doesn’t matter, it all depends on the specific task and the skill of the worker, I started anyway, no matter the drum, the clients didn’t complain, and more than one thousand squares have already been glued. I start from the floor. I put it strictly according to the level. Then it is easier to cover the walls. Only the seams on the floor need to be grouted last, when the walls are already tiled. Floor tiles are thicker and stronger than wall tiles, so there is no need to worry...

Question about bathroom renovation. What is better to do first: sculpt tiles on the wall or install the bathroom first? The tiles are placed below the bathtub - this is a renovation primer, depending on what kind of bathroom you have and where you place it. Tiles of course. We have tiles from floor to ceiling. How to lay it if there is a bathtub and there are tiles on the floor under the bathtub. How do you plan to put it? If you do it for yourself and conscientiously, then you first need to lay the tiles and only then install the bathtub. Some, in order to save money, do not lay tiles in places where it is not visible (behind the bathtub) (just like some soldiers clean their boots only in front...
Valery Khomenko
It is more correct to first lay tiles on the walls, then install the bathtub. First, they install the bathtub and make all the outlets (electrics, water), and then lay the tiles. First install the bathtub, then lay the tiles, leveling them. Of course it's the other way around. Technically it is possible to do both. The difference is that in the case of a Tile-Bathtub, you will have the opportunity to change the bathtub in the future without any problems, and if the Bathtub-Tile, then replacing the bathtub will mean a “new” renovation...
Antonina Yudina
Be so kind as to tell me. This is when they do renovations in the bathroom. First new bath, and then tiles on the wall. First, tiles on the floor, then tiles on the wall where the bathtub will stand, then they put the bathtub in, and then lay the tiles on. I did some renovations this year. I installed an expensive French bathtub (and am very pleased). Be sure to install the bathtub first.
Which comes first, tile or bath?
then lay the tiles. Exactly. Bath first, then tiles
Nadezhda Shapina
Is it possible to do it in the bathroom first? suspended ceiling, and then tiles on the wall? I can do that because drilling guides in the tiles is almost 50 percent more expensive. That’s how they first make a suspended ceiling. Of course, you can do the ceiling first, then tiles, but it will be more expensive to maintain in the future, because in order to unfasten the canvas you will have to dismantle the tiles. Well, that’s right, that’s what everyone does, by the way, the ceiling in the bathtub comes with a bluish tint, rather than a white matte hehe, they suggested another option for bathroom renovation?

Put tiles on the bathroom walls! Really, what would it be exactly? Hands are moving from the right place. It was difficult when there was no Internet and YouTube. You had to learn from the Master and each profession was exclusive with its own secrets. Now, if you have straight hands, a clear head and YouTube, you can take on anything. I'm like that... Go ahead, it’s not that complicated, but don’t forget the plumb line and level. Well, try it. My dad had never laid tiles before. and in the bathroom he did everything perfectly himself.

How often do you do general cleaning in the apartment? General once a month. Although I clean every day. You won’t be moving furniture every day. And once a month I move it aside and wipe the dust there. I go through my closets and throw away what I don’t need. Never. I clean all the rooms one by one, so everything is clean.

Should I lay the tiles in the bathroom from the top or from the bottom? Answer please!

But when you go around the door, you go up along one edge, put it over, and go down. For convenience, there is ceresit glue for laying from top to bottom. If the tiles are to the middle of the wall, then from above

Where to start renovating a bathroom First, tiles, then suspended ceiling Tiles, then the ceiling, so that it is not visible, it will cover the defects of cutting the tiles at the junction with the ceiling. But first, install the electrics and, if necessary, pipes and water lines, which must be hidden in the wall. And think, maybe the bathtub can be turned towards another wall; maybe install a shower stall instead of a bathtub. Throw it out first old bath. replace the pipes. to the kitchen. if necessary, also prepare the walls for tiles. then screed on the floor later floor tiles, bath installation.

Do not rush to install a new one. the door has not yet been dismantled with old coverings and appliances. Agree, put new door and then invite a master to knock down the old tiles—nonsense! Make sure you are ready for repairs first,

Where do you start laying tiles on walls or floors? It’s clear that it’s from the floor. Why are you such evil people, don’t mock a person. My husband and I started from the floor, and then above the bathtub. From border tiles (if you have one), which separates the upper and lower parts of the walls. Beat the level and forward, and then up or down without a difference. The bottom row is trimmed, the floor tiles will cover the trim. My husband speaks from the walls, and he is special.

About the tiles It all depends on the area of the room; it will not have time to dry and will float down. But in general, there are many factors at play. If it’s just random, then you can do it all at once, that’s why the builders have an expression: “fast or good” Correctly, in different ways, someone ties their room in three rows, someone lays the entire wall at once, both ways are correct It’s not entirely clear your idea of the process of laying tiles, but in rows

Where is the best place to start laying tiles in the bathroom? From the middle? There will be a border decor. You are not far from the truth. Ideally, all the tiles are laid from the middle in order to maintain symmetry. This applies to the entire wall, floor. Not always from the middle. More often I start from left to right with the most open wall, but in general it depends largely on the location of the furniture and plumbing fixtures Correctly, if you go into the bathroom, then the most visible corner is placed with a whole tile, and in those corners where...

Where to start laying tiles in the bathroom from the floor or from the walls (leveling is the first thing) From the floor. Level the rail or profile at a height equal to, say, one tile, and start laying from there, and do the trimming at the bottom, in short, calculate the distance between the floor and the ceiling to install the profile so that a whole tile fits at the top. You can start from the walls, or maybe from the floor, I usually from the floor, because then I put a bathtub on the finished floor (if it is planned) and then from the bathtub I start laying the walls, thereby closing the seam between the bathtub and the wall with whole, uncut tiles. If the bathtub...

How to correctly start laying tiles on the walls in the bathroom and in what order should the rows be laid around the perimeter or something else? You drill the guide profile above the bathtub + the height of the tiles and minus the floor, 1 cm. Well, you place the tiles on this profile. Someone immediately begins to put it on the bathtub, but the bathtubs are all semicircular and not even, they still need to be trimmed with a grinder... Look on YouTube. There's plenty of material there. This is how I personally glue tiles

I bought an apartment, where is the best time to start renovating? First, sit down and think about what you want, if you don’t have a chair, you can walk around the apartment, if nothing comes to mind, take care of the windows, look at how the builders made them, you may have to redo the slopes, press on the window sill... With electricity and plumbing There is an old Russian proverb - Stove splashes - start with the kitchen - the main thing is that later, if the renovation takes longer, there is something and where to cook
Which comes first, bath or wall tiles?
The question of choosing the priority of covering floors and walls with ceramic tiles has been observed quite long time.
The age-old question
The question of choosing the priority of covering floors and walls with ceramic tiles has been going on for quite a long time. Some craftsmen argue that laying tiles should begin with the walls, while others argue that finishing the floor should come first. Both the first and second are right in some ways, but at the same time both are wrong in some respects. Let's take a closer look at each opinion and draw a conclusion about the primacy of finishing the bathroom. Pay attention to where to start renovating an apartment, as specialists from the website http://remoskop.ru/ tell you.
Walls first
Many builders have great support for the idea that it is the walls that need to be covered first. Before this, the wall must be leveled, preferably also level. If there are any unevenness when laying the tiles, they will “come out” and will subsequently be visible. After leveling, you can start laying. Here, too, opinions are divided - some say that the tiles must be laid from the very bottom, leaving a small gap for floor tiles. Others advise laying from the second row (starting from the floor). 
Still others advocate starting to lay tiles from the very center of the wall. Another part of the craftsmen begins laying from a block or profile, which is fixed at the bottom of the wall at a level and from it they go higher to the ceiling. However this option does necessary installation skirting boards, and these are additional costs.
In support of this option of starting to lay tiles in the bathroom, its adherents point to the fact that while laying tiles, you can either stain the floor tiles with glue or cement mortar, or as a result of activity, some tool or the tile itself may fall on the floor, which will cause damage to the ceramics. Another advantage of starting laying from the walls is that after laying the tiles need to “rest”, that is, you should not press on them and apply other mechanical impact. It follows that after laying the tiles on the walls, you can immediately begin laying the floors.
First the floor
The second part of masters and craftsmen assures us that it is advisable to start laying tiles from the floor. Before this, the floor is leveled, after which the master proceeds to the installation itself. In defense of this method, its proponents point out that it is much easier to start laying walls from the floor than from some other point on the wall. If the floor is laid level (and this is necessary), you will only need to leave a gap of 3-5 mm from the floor and then begin laying tiles on the walls. The gap can be made with the same crosses that you will have between the tiles. By setting the same gap between them, you will get perfectly straight lines. And in response to the fact that the floor can be stained with glue or something else, supporters of the primacy of the floor suggest simply covering it with newspapers, and if you are afraid of heavy objects falling on the floor, cover it with cardboard, and then your floor will no longer be afraid of anything.
However, in this method styling has a significant disadvantage. After laying the tiles, it needs a period of so-called “rest”, during which it should not be stepped on. And this time is significant - several days, if the layer of glue is thick (in the case of an uneven floor) - up to a week. That is, a whole week of your time will be lost.
What to do first: install a bathroom or lay tiles on the wall
But if you are not in a hurry, this will not be a big problem for you.
And still …
What should ultimately come first - the walls or the floor. As it turned out above, you can start laying tiles from both the floor and the walls. Each order has its pros and cons. It should be noted that not all craftsmen adhere to any specific tiling system - in one room they start laying from the floor, in another - from the walls. It all depends on the specific situation. In any case, the determining factor of primary importance should be ease of use. If it is convenient for you to start laying from the floor, then start from the floor, otherwise - from the walls. But don’t be afraid to experiment - perhaps if you try another technology, you will notice that it is more convenient and simpler.
Conclusion
Every master or craftsman he is looking for something of his own - something that is convenient for him and seems more correct. It is impossible to find a specific answer to the question of primacy; everyone sets it for themselves, guided by the information received and their own experience. You can argue about this problem for a long time, arguing that the first method is correct and the second is wrong (or vice versa), but the choice is always left to the individual master who begins laying ceramic tiles in the bathroom.

New bath. How to start laying tiles correctly? Lay out the entire main plane (all main planes), while leaving space for the bathtub itself, then place the bathtub and lay everything else.

Question about bathroom renovation. What is better to do first: sculpt tiles on the wall or install the bathroom first? The tiles are placed below the bathtub - this is a renovation primer Interest Ask some people do this: first they install the bathtub, then the tiles.

Why should you first lay tiles in the bathroom or change the door? First, you need to level the walls in the bathroom, and then decide whether the tiles will fit the frame or whether there will be a wooden panel with trim on the side of the bathtub. Based on this, the issue is resolved. The door, then the tiles! Everything is much simpler! A false frame is installed (this is if the platband is only on one side and the tile fits directly to the frame), the tiles are brought in, and then after all the work the door with a new frame is installed

Tell me, are the tiles in the bathroom laid first on the floor or on the walls? Otherwise, every master says something different! Before the light bulb, look where the most beautiful one is and put it second. I put it on the walls and then on the floor. This way the floor doesn't get dirty. First, all the walls are plastered along the beacons and a smooth screed is poured. The tiles are glued first to the walls from the second row, then the floor and the first row of wall tiles. Well, in order not to be mistaken and the first row was a whole tile, a normal craftsman has a tool...

Are bathroom tiles placed on the floor or walls first? First the walls. You don't want to damage the floor if it's the other way around, do you? It happens that a tool falls, a tile is dropped, even if you lay hardboard on top - it will still break through in some places. Read about laying methods. It doesn’t matter. On the walls of course! The floor, then a bathtub is placed on the floor, and from the level of the bathtub, tiles are laid on the walls. It is more correct to first finish the work with laying the floor, and then move on to the walls. But sometimes they do the opposite, for certain reasons.

Bathroom renovation. What should you do first - suspended ceiling and then tiled walls? Or what is the right way to do it? Thanks. I first lay the floor, then install the bathtub so that it’s tight, “it won’t be pulled off with a tractor,” and then I start the wall tiles from the bathtub, and the ceiling is drilled onto the tiles and don’t forget about the sockets and pipes first. First the walls. Then the ceiling! Walls first, and then no matter what you want, maybe the floor, then the ceiling, but what if something falls on your floor? Then better ceiling, then we pierced the linoleum floor in the kitchen and dropped the shelf
Olga Dementieva
Bathroom renovation: what first - install new doors or lay tiles? Doors first! After that - the floor, then the tiles on the walls. And before the tiles, the ceiling needs to be done, then the tiles and at the end of the renovation the doors are installed. Don’t listen to anyone - the doors are adjusted to fit the tiles (additions. platbands. Threshold) First the tiles on the floor, then the doors - just don’t take them universal hinges, take the right or left, depending on where the door opens. I took the doors off their hinges and glued some tiles, and when I was done, I hung the door back up.
Timofey Levoniev
First we lay tiles on the floor and walls and install doors? or do we install the doors and then lay the tiles? I don’t know how anyone sells doors, but just think about it - lay the tiles nicely, and then you’ll tear it all down and install doors? Place the box and then hang the canvas when everything is ready. If the box is already covered with paint or varnish, seal it... First we do all the dirty work, and then we install the doors! No, you can, of course, put the box, and then the tiles, then hang the door and nail the trim! But according to the rules, first the floor, and only then the doors

Professionals, tell me, when renovating a bathroom, what should they lay tiles on the floor or on the walls first? I can give you one piece of advice. The tiles should be laid SPECIAL and nothing more. If an amateur puts it, it’s just money down the drain. 🙁 Specialists Lay tiles The walls (except for the bottom row) then lay out the FLOOR, then the last row (bottom) of the wall Only when laying tiles... I start with the wall Floor. I started on the floor that week.

Tell me first they make the ceiling or lay tiles in the toilet, bathroom Walls floor ceiling First the tiles. then the ceiling. Damn the experts! plumbing, tiles on the walls without the bottom row, then the floor, then the bottom row adjacent to the floor, then the ceiling. There are no rules - there are common sense And various options. Plasterboard ceiling It doesn’t hurt at all to paint over the tiles, tension ones over the tiles, and so on. The ceiling is after the walls. But floors are an independent matter.

Please tell me where to start laying tiles in the bathroom, from the floor or from the walls? Do you need tiles behind the bathtub? When to install the bathtub? First, lay the tiles on the floor, it’s easiest, then install the bathtub, lay out the walls, there’s no point in laying tiles behind the bathtub, no one will ever see the space between the bathtub and the tiles and seal the seams with silicone. Walls, floor, bath. In the bathroom, it is better to either start with the floor but make it ideally level because the walls will go up from it like a beacon, but if the qualifications are not high, then a profile is placed around the perimeter on the leveled walls and tiles are laid from the second row,
Vitaly Negushin
Where do they lay ceramic tiles first - on the walls or on the floor? Align the guides along the perimeter of the bathtub to the height of one tile and drive out the walls. then the floor. and then the last row of wall tiles On the walls, so as not to shit and break the tiles on the floor!
What comes first: tiles or bathtub? Determining the sequence
But there are also craftsmen who start from the floor, but it’s problematic to have to cover the floors so as not to guess! On the floor. If you don’t make the floor plinth, then do the walls first, without adding the very bottom row of tiles. The walls begin to be laid from the 2-3rd row. And then the floors, and lastly the bottom row on the wall
Artem Spekhin
We are renovating the bathroom ourselves. How should you lay the tiles: first on the floor, then on the walls, or vice versa? We had it done by a professional. He first leveled the floor, then laid tiles on it. And then on the walls. Of course, on the walls, first of all, and then on the floor. First the floor is done, then the walls
Sergey Basargin
After laying the first (the horizon of a row of tiles on the walls of the bathroom, there is a second, etc., or the entire wall to the top, lay it in rows. Whoever likes it. I lay down the floors first, then the walls up to 2 m, two walls at a time. Then the tops from the trestle. The installation of the tiles begins from the 2nd row from the floor, from the center of the wall, from the ceiling, a whole tile is marked into the floor, trimming after laying the floor tiles.The floor is also trimmed from the center to the wall. Classic version. Good luck
