How to install ceramic or porcelain tile on a shower floor. Sometimes I will leave out the last row of wall tile install the shower floor and then install that last row of wall tile on top of the shower floor sometimes the wall tile will be completed to the shower floor as in this video. It all depends on the circumstances of the job, either way is acceptable. Generally a shower floor is small, so most times it makes sense to just dry fit the whole floor before applying any thinset. Once the tile is "cut in" I will lift one or two rows of tile cement them in place and then move along to the rest of the floor. The reason I do not remove the whole floor and leave some of the tile in place is to have a reference to be able to put the tile back in place exactly where it was. When tile is cut the edge of the tile where it has been cut will be very sharp, so use a rubbing stone to smooth the cut edge anywhere it might come in contact with a person, in this case that would be the drain.
