Wall and Flooring Indoor Tiling
Ceramic Tile over cement floor

I am going to lay ceramic tile in my basement. I just had the floor ground to level in the places I am laying the tile. Do I need to prep the floor with any kind of cement primer for better adhesion for the mastic? On another note, any idea how to easily cut arches on 12" tiles (am making a large circular pattern for the tile layout around a bar), I was thinking of cutting as best I can with a wet tile saw and then grinding (bench grinder) the remaining edges off to make them arched. :wall:

Tile Steps

I want to put porcelain tile on two steps down into a sunken family room. Is it OK to 'over-lap' tiles on steps? Is the 'Bullnose' tile pieces OK to use on steps? I was thinking of using 'Mohawk Tuscania Glazed Procelain Tile', which has a matching 3 x 14 inch 'Bullnose' tile. Which of the above methods is recommended or best? JKH
