How Long Does It Take To Tile A Shower

I gave the tile part of my diy bathroom project to a friend who does his own tile and i am trying to judge the speed.

How long does it take to tile a shower. After sealing wait a minimum of 24 hours before using the shower. On top of this you ll need around an hour of prep time per job an hour of layout time per job and around an hour for grouting and cleaning per square foot. A day or two to cement them in place and another day for. It s long lasting effectiveness and easy on application make it a great choice for your grout sealing and if you needed any more convincing it s suitable on ceramic porcelain stone and glass tiles.

For example leave the floor untouched for one hour or more in case the time written on the package is 30 minutes. You should allow more time for the grout to get ready for use. Another day to lay out the tile and cut the pieces. Same client and some of the same misconceptions slowed down the job.

Walls 15m2 and floor 4m2 with 1 window will take me 7 days. For some reason the contractor began installing the tile backer and did a crappy job on the margins which led me to believe that a different style of enclosure was intended this one took a lot longer maybe 45 hours due to the hand built shower pan and angled roof. Don t forget about the 24 hours to leave between the installation and the grouting. It might take a day to install the vapor barrier and to cut and fit the underlayment.

This is because the advertised drying time may be applicable in ideal conditions only. Most cement based grouts require a cure time of 48 to 72 hours before applying a penetrating sealer. Still cant imagine being able to turn one out in 3 4 days to a high standard but i guess in 10 years time it will be achievable. Some products may recommend.

About how long should it take a novice tile setter to tile a 3 x 5 shower area stall to ceiling with 12 tile and one window. However most people consider four hours of tiling to be standard for a 40 square foot space.
