Ceramic Tile Around Basement Floor Drain

So i m on a job that is being tiled by somebody else and there is a few issues with the work they have.

Ceramic tile around basement floor drain.

Lay all the full tiles that will fit leaving clear a perimeter of floor around the drain. Apply thinset mortar over a few square feet of the floor starting at the intersection of the lines. Tile around a floor drain. Installed around the outside perimeter of a foundation exterior drain tile is a highly effective way of collecting groundwater and draining it away before it can seep into your basement.

Press tiles into place along the lines putting tile spacers between them. If you absolutely have to work with large bodied tiles you will need to split them along the length of the slope so. Use a small bodied tile such as mosaics or at the most 4 inch by 4 inch tiles when installing on a shower or other floor. When i do tile around a round floor drain i like a clean neat finish on the cut tile edges.

I cut a slice off the pvc about 3 8 to 1 2 depending on how thick the tile and mortar will be. Cut circular drain tiles with an angle grinder. Anyway there is a floor drain with an ugly plastic cover and home depot people told me that i would have to supply the raised floor drain cover for them to put over the exsisting drain.
