This is practical question. When you have washroom to furnish a tile, which part you should install first? Flooring or walls? And why?

normally u should start by wall tiles without fixing the first row from below, then after finishing the flooring tiles , fix the first missing row above the floor tiles, this is to make sure that water sealing is optimum, since horizontal tile breaks are safer than vertical ones 

Obviously ,I would go for wall tiling first than floor tiling .If we prefer doing wall tiling later which would increase the chances of getting cracks on floor tiles at the time of wall tiling ..Recently ,I have renovated my bathroom and I got have some nice stuff from Omicron store for it .

The Wall first , because the floor need to be treated at last, since we have to put insulation component.So the floor must come last so the isulation components wouldn't be damaged by foot stepping or any harmful fact.

Definite wall because you have to put everything and also stand in washroom to fix the wall tiles,

So if you put floor first, then applying wall tiles would definitely diusturb your floor .

Wall because it will decrease the work
