Laying ceramic tiles is a very simple job. This is true! You may not need tiles, because you are quite able to do everything with your own hands, and then enjoy the resulting beauty, which you yourself made. But when laying tiles, it is important to follow a number of rules so that the final result will please you for a long time and fully.
one. Before laying tiles in the bathroom, prepare the surface. This is extremely important. A poorly prepared surface is the biggest problem for beginners and the biggest reason why tiles have to be laid twice. The surface must not only be free of debris. She herself must be clean and leveled. There will be virtually no further errors if you have prepared the surface correctly.
2. The second mistake many people make is the choice of glue. Although the hypermarket can pick up tile adhesive for you, be specific about what you are gluing and what you are gluing to. You can bring a piece of your tile to the hardware store consultant if needed. Once you have chosen the right adhesive, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for its use. It shouldn’t be difficult, but read the instructions first and then get ready to go.
3. Wait as long as you need. Many are in a hurry and cover a large surface area with mortar before laying tiles on it. And then they rush to open the work area for further action, not allowing the glue to dry properly. In general, laying tiles is a rather monotonous process that will require you to be attentive and patient.
four. Planning is very important because you can’t start laying tiles without first planning. Read our other article about how the laying process goes.
5. In addition to laying the tiles themselves, read articles about grouting. Many people forget about her. They even forget to buy it, and at the end of the work they realize that the tiles are laid somehow unusual. And remember that the grout needs to be removed in time after application, but it all depends on the type of grout.
