This Level Two workshop is designed for participants who have completed our Tile &amp; Grout Basics class. In this session, you will learn the full workflow for installing 12" x 12" porcelain tile on a residential subfloor (not a concrete slab). We begin with a focused overview of planning, prep, materials, and safety, followed by a guided hands-on installation.
