First and foremost, a ceramic tiled basement floor is less sensitive to moisture concerns than carpet or wood floor products. Cleaning and maintaining a ceramic tile floor is also much easier to do than with a carpeted or wood floor.<\/p>\n<p>Tiling a basement floor starts with a spotlessly clean basement floor. Any protrusions on the basement floor surface should be removed.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, seal the basement floor with a sealer and allow it to fully dry before proceeding on with the installation of the ceramic floor tiles.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>When it comes to tile selection, I find using larger ceramic floor tiles, such as 12\u201dx12\u201d work best in larger areas such as a basement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prepping the Basement Floor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The first major step in tiling a basement floor is to find the center of the room and to mark its location on the basement floor. Then use a chalk line to establish two orthogonal lines on the basement floor that are coincident with the marks you made on the basement floor. If you are tiling a larger area of the basement you may want to snap additional chalk lines on the floor to create a grid pattern. The lines will help to ensure that the tiles are installed squarely as you place the basement floor tiles.<br \/>\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- 468x60_below_Author_Name --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:468px;height:60px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3988490936633155\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"5936342260\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><strong>Tiling Basement Floor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mix up thinset mortar in a large 5 gallon bucket.
