This document provides guidance on avoiding tile installation failures by focusing on proper planning, material selection, substrate preparation, waterproofing, and use of the appropriate thinsets, mortars, and movement joints. Key recommendations include selecting materials suitable for the application, ensuring substrates are clean, dry, and structurally sound, using effective waterproofing in wet areas, and incorporating movement joints at proper intervals. Proper planning, material selection, substrate preparation, and installation techniques can help prevent common complaints and issues with tile jobs.
