Tile has long won great popularity among consumers. Manufacturers have tried to take into account all the preferences of citizens - the tiles can be picked up at any price, and according to the required size, thickness, color. It is convenient in that it can be used both for decoration of walls and for the floor of a dwelling, it can be used in rooms with any temperature. One of the advantages of tiles from tiles is its high ecological compatibility.
How to properly glue the tiles
First you need to choose the right tile. One of the criteria for selecting a tile is the calculation of its required quantity. It must be borne in mind that the rooms do not have an ideal geometric shape, so after measuring the surface parameters on which the tiles will be laid, it is necessary to determine a certain stock of material.
Before you proceed directly to gluing the tiles, you need to prepare the surface of the pasting. It must necessarily be clean, dry and even. Unevenness of the wall or floor will lead to the fact that the tile will not lie properly, beautifully. It is recommended to make incisions on the pasted surface( ax or chisel).Notching should not be deep, but frequent. They will ensure a strong adhesion of the tile to the surface due to the adhesive mass. The glue solution will "cling" to these incisions, and the tile will be glued securely.
Before applying the solution to the surface, it should be drenched with plenty of water - this will prevent the moisture from absorbing the surface from the adhesive solution. Otherwise, the quality of the pasting will be lower.
Glue tile is best from the bottom up. It is advisable to start work from the corner of the room, calculating that it would end in the most unexplored place. The fact is that the length of the pasted surface will never lie an entire number of tiles - you will certainly have to add pieces of tile near the opposite wall. This does not look good. It's good that there should be some furniture or something else at the place where the styling ended. If it does not work, then it is better to paste the paper in the direction of the far wall. If it is supposed to be covered with tiles and walls, and the floor, then you should start from the walls, and then glue to the floor.
Technique of tile stickers
Tiles are first applied to the wall - it should lie tight enough. This is achieved by its light pressing against the surface. Then it is necessary to level the tile with a wooden hammer, or ordinary metal, wrapped in something soft, so as not to split the tile. When laying tiles, you must constantly monitor its "horizontal" and "vertical".
For this, building levels, plumb lines are used. The simplest plumb: thread with a weights( nut, bolt, etc.).After laying out the entire surface with the help of a trowelling mixture, the seams of the masonry are sealed.
It is necessary to take into account that the adhesive composition has its own temperature characteristics. Therefore, it must be understood that the time of "setting" the glue depends on the temperature in the room. Do not immediately begin to expose tiles to some kind of mechanical influences - let it "harden".
