How to Install Ceramic Tiles on a Wall

1. Gather Your Tools and Materials

Before you begin, make sure you have all the necessary items. You'll need:

  • Ceramic tiles

  • Tile adhesive & Tile Grout

  • Tile Spacers (optional)

  • Measuring tape & Pencil

  • Bucket and sponge for cleanup

  • Tile and Cement Sealer

2. Prepare the Wall Surface

Ensure the wall is clean, dry, and flat. Remove any old wallpaper, paint, or grease. Fill any cracks or holes with patching compound and sand it smooth. For best results, use a primer to prepare the surface for better adhesion.

3. Plan Your Layout

Measure the wall and determine the center point. From this center point, draw a vertical and horizontal line with a level. This will be your starting point and will help ensure the tiles are straight and centered.

4. Apply the Adhesive

Using a notched trowel, spread a thin, even layer of tile adhesive on a small section of the wall, starting from your center point. Hold the trowel at a 45-degree angle to create ridges in the adhesive. This ensures good contact between the tile and the wall.

5. Lay the Tiles

Press the first tile firmly into the adhesive, giving it a slight twist to set it in place. Use tile spacers to maintain a consistent gap between each tile. Continue to lay the tiles, working outwards from your center point. Use a level frequently to check that your tiles are aligned both horizontally and vertically.

6. Clean Up and Let it Cure

Once all the tiles are in place, remove the tile spacers. Use a damp sponge to wipe away any excess adhesive from the tile surfaces. Allow the adhesive to dry completely according to the manufacturer's instructions, which is typically 24-48 hours.

How to Grout and Seal the Tiles

After the adhesive has cured, it's time to grout and seal the tiles.

1. Apply the Grout

Mix the grout according to the package directions. Use a grout float to spread the grout over the tile joints, pressing it firmly into the gaps. Work in small sections, wiping away excess grout from the tile faces as you go.

2. Clean the Grout Haze

After the grout has started to set (usually 15-30 minutes), use a clean, damp sponge to wipe the tile surface diagonally across the grout lines. This removes the "grout haze" and smooths the grout lines.

3. Seal the Grout

Once the grout is completely dry (check the package for the recommended time, usually 48-72 hours), you can apply a sealant. Use a grout sealer applicator or a small brush to apply the sealant directly to the grout lines. Be careful not to get the sealant on the tile faces.

4. Apply Sealant to the Tiles (Recommended )

Although most ceramic tiles are non-porous and don't need sealing, some may benefit from it, especially in high-moisture areas like a shower. Use a tile and stone sealer and apply it with a clean cloth or sponge, wiping away any excess after a few minutes.

5. Final Touches

Allow the sealant to cure for the recommended time. Your new tiled wall is now ready to use and easy to clean!

Customer photo review of Dishwasher Sticker | 700x650mm

The print is turquoise and not grey as shown on the picture, but I love turquoise and fortunately the colour will go with my colour scheme. I have not been able to apply the sticker as it is for our holiday home and we will only be going there on the Easter weekend. It is a very good quality vinyl sticker!

Customer photo review of Wooden Wall Art | 3 Set | Floral | Protea

I just love Proteas and the meaning of the Protea and what it symbolizes. I am going through a rough time and in the beginning of December 2025, I just collapsed. My husband and son bought me 4 King Proteas and placed it in my bedroom. Then I got a thought to look up what a Protea symbolizes.... The protea flower meaning is deeply rooted in resilience, adaptability, and personal transformation. This flower reflects the ability to evolve through life's changes and still thrive. Courage and strength, thriving in harsh conditions, overcoming ALL challenges. King Proteas survive FIRE by having a thick, underground rootstock (lignotuber) with dormant buds that are unaffected by heat. They can produce new, vigorous shoots within a few weeks of a fire. I knew that the Protea will be my symbol and message from the Lord for 2026 and always. I saw this on the Mooi Kamer website and decided to buy it. It transformed the blah, blank wall in my bedroom and now I wake up in the mornings to this beautiful Protea, reminding me, that my strength and courage comes from God and that He walks with me through fire!!!
