Have an itch to try floor tiling? You're definitely not alone. There are thousands of people just like you that want to try their hand at what many call "decorative flooring". Depending on what you want the finished product to look like, this may or may not be true for you. Some people just like the simple tile look, whilezothers love "the fancier the better!"

Before starting out on this task however, first you need to know what tile and sub-floor you will be putting down, once you've figured that out, you then need to consider what kind of tools you will need. There are some basic, important tools that anyone needs to start their floor tiling project. As there are tools that are nice to have, but not necessary, let's talk about the important ones first.

First off, you may have some of the tools necessary already. Do you have a large bucket? A Long straight trowel? Framing Square? Chalk Line? Hammer? Cheese Cloth (drying dishes towel)? Safety Gear, including knee pads, eye wear, and earmuffs? How about a Caulking Gun? Do you have Straight Pliers? Tape Measure and a Pencil are also very important tools that most people will have on hand. The good news is that you probably already do have most, or all of these tools, which means you're already on your way to completing your floor tiling tool collection.
