Tile in cold weather

[marcnkelly]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on how to work on a tileing project in cold weather. I live in the NorthEast and wanted to tile my bathroom in the January time frame... the problem is that I do not have anywhere to set up my wet saw except for the outside.
Any advice??

let it warm up before installing.(the tile) And dont let the water freeze!!

Set in up in the hallway or bedroom and break it down at night.

Use a water heater for fish tanks.

Buy a portable heater.

Welcome marcnkelly,

First remember to keep everything at room temp. (tile,thinset,grout etc.)If I don't have the room to set up inside, I use a water heater for the wet saw. How about the basement, or Garage. Extra steps, but "warm". As a last resort, I do the cuts outside and only after all the rest of the tile is installed. I don't like the COLDany more than the next person. Seriously, try looking around the house for a warm spot. Maybe kitchen. Put poly down on the floor etc. Yankee resoursefulness will come to the forefront. Good luck!
