How to lay kitchen tiles?

Hi, I have some marble effect tiles that I'm wanting to lay in the kitchen. The only problem is that I have no idea how to lay tiles 🤔.

I have grout but I was just wondering what to use around the outer edges ( Against the wall etc ) and also is it simply glue underneath, as in glue straight to concrete? Any advice or hints & tips would be greatly appreciated. Dean.

Hi @Deano1

Just to add to the suggestions made, I recommend laying the tiles out on the floor so that you'll have a very good idea of how far it will spread out and how much of it you'll need to cut.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
