Customer Reviews


3 stars Not Complete!!
I bought this book to tile my tub enclosure...a pretty popular tiling job. However, this book doesn't show you how to do it!!! 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"


5 stars Another Taunton Home Run
I used this book for my own countertop porcelain tiling project. It went so well that I decided to tile an entire wall and a floor too. Looks fabulous- this book gave me the options and knowhow to succeed. Highly recommend! I've never read a Taunton book that wasn't top-notch.


4 stars Pretty Good Tiling Book
I bought this book when we decided to tile our kitchen backsplash...our first tiling project. The book was helpful but could have elaborated on the types of adhesives for different tiles and different applications a little more. However, it is still overall a good book that I would recommend. It also includes how to repair tiles.


5 stars Thorough, Pro Advice
Having some previous tiling experience, I was pleased to discover that "Tiling Complete" contained many well-informed tips and clear, straight-forward instruction -- simplifying and illuminating each step involved, including the handy features addressing mistake-prevention and trade tips. This is the clearest, most thorough book on tile-setting I've come across.


5 stars great for the DIY'er
This book gave me the courage to tackle the floors and walls of my master bath, project is going great using the tips and techniques in the book. The "what can go wrong" feature has helped me from making shortcuts and costly mistakes.
