Many people prefer to lay first floor, explaining his choice of several major advantages:
- the joint between the wall and the floor in this case it is easier to control, and thus it is possible to make it as inconspicuous as possible;
- folding walls is much easier to do on the floor.

Otherwise, you will need to leave the floor for a few days, and after only continue laying tile on the wall.
