Full coverage It's vital that there's a full bed of adhesive between your tiles and substrate as any voids could lead to cracked tiles further down the line. It's often a good idea to 'back-butter' the tile with adhesive, to ensure a full and even coverage - this is especially true with larger floor tiles. Don't be tempted to 'spot-fix' tiles by applying a dab of adhesive to each corner!
Curing It's also very important to let the adhesive fully cure before walking on your new floor tiles. Otherwise, any pressure might shift a tile slightly and you'll end up with an uneven floor.
On a similar note, any underfloor heating systems should not be turned on for at least 2 weeks after tiling. Turning on the system too early risks weakening the adhesive.
