Tiling in the bathroom
Professionals assembled a linear drain in my bathroom. I will try to lay the tiles on the floor myself. How can I avoid mistakes and what should I pay attention to in order to do it in accordance with the art of construction?

The only thing I can recommend to you is watching videos on YouTube. For example, from remont4you.

My advice from experience is to properly insulate the substrate and walls, for example with liquid foil or something similar, so that moisture does not seep into the wall after laying the tiles. And of course, use a hydrophobic grout that will not allow water to penetrate deeply.

As Mariusz wrote - insulation under rubber mats, and good chemicals, and remember about the slope towards the drain.

You can do it! Imagine yourself being on emigration and the only job you can get is laying tiles. And after some time, you become a Master Tile Setter!

If you have never done it before, it is best if someone shows you in person how to do it properly. You can of course look for videos on YouTube on this topic, but practice and gaining skill are always crucial. It would be very helpful if you could first practice in a less representative place, for example in the basement or boiler room, where things don't have to be laid out perfectly. You will see how it goes, and only then start working on the bathroom.
