When to put in tile floor

[zlamb0002]

I was wondering when the best time to put the flooring in my teardrop.

before I add any of the walls
after the outside walls are up
after all walls are up

After you've completely sealed the floor...

Just remember that you'll be crawling around in there during the constuction process - If the flooring is down at when the outside walls are up, then it needs to be protected during construction. I put my flooring down after the walls went up and placed some carpeting turned face down to protect the floor during final installation. It really helped - especially when I dropped drills, saws, and screwdrivers on the floor!

I think either time will work, I choose to install the tile prior to the walls going up.



Like already mentioned, you just need to be careful, using scrap carpet, cardboard boxes, or some sort of tarp to cover it.

I just thought it would be easier to install before the walls, as compared to triming the tile (if needed) after the walls were up.

Same here. It seemed it would be easier than crawling in and out of the tear while installing them.
