DIY Tiling for Beginners - Course for Women
Advertisement
Ready to give your home a makeover but not quite sure where to start with your tiling project? Do you want to add some tiles in your home but are daunted by getting them flat, straight and level? And what about drilling into tiles? And what to do about the corners??
We’ve got some exciting news! You can now learn these skills in a supportive environment of like-minded women. In this 2 Day Course we will be taking a closer look at the tricks of the tiling trade.
Day 1 will start with learning about the different tiling tools and materials. We will look at different substrates you can tile on, and what to take into account when planning and laying out your tiles.
Break our tiles, not yours, while you practice and have a go at cutting tiles with a tile cutter and a wet saw after measuring, marking and setting out your tiles on your 'mini-wall'.
Day 2 will continue with how to tile on a horizontal and a vertical surface. You'll learn about how to have your tiles stay on the wall and identify the right tiles for the job. We'll show you how to select and mix adhesive and grout to the right consistency. We will guide you through the whole process from choosing the right tiles and adhesive, preparing the surface, marking out and cutting all the way to grouting and applying silicone to end up with a professional finish. We'll also show you how to drill into tiles!
Complete the course to start on your tiling adventures to give your home a makeover.
All materials included.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
We also have dates for the DIY Plumbing Intensive - Course for Women in the programme. It will take place in the same week as the DIY Tiling for Beginners and we are offering 10% off the ticket price for the Plumbing Course if you'd like to attend both courses. You will receive a discount code with your booking confirmation! (The discount will still be applied to the whole course fee even if you pay the deposit first).
Cost: sliding scale £215 - £295 or £95 deposit
