Thanks to its numerous advantages tile still remains as the main material for the walls and floor finishes for the bathroom. Surface-coated tiles are hygienic, easy to clean, resistant to high temperatures and household chemicals. Work on its installation does not require high qualifications. Following our advice, even a beginner will easily master the task.
Resistant to scratches, stains, high temperatures and household chemicals, timeless, irreplaceable tiles in the bathroom.
Most often, first floor veneer, and then the walls, but it happens and vice versa. In the first option when facing wall tiles directly pressed against the tile. In the second version of the bottom row of tiles bonded to a certain distance from the floor, so that could then put a layer of cement and floor tiles. On the floor in our reportage laid tiles 20 × 20 cm, the color is combined with the wall.
Tools
For the work you need a cross, the capacity to breed an adhesive solution, the meter, a rubber float, string, level, circular saw or a mechanical roller glass cutter and medium-grained emery, corundum, or other bar to pritochki ceramic tiles.
Surface Preparation
Each tile requires a flat surface on which it is imposed. Clean the wall of dirt, dust and old mortar. If it contains appreciable bumps and rough spots, treat them putty. Sand the surface to facilitate the application of the adhesive composition. If necessary, apply a layer of cement mixture: it will get monotonous surface. After two or three hours, when this layer is dry, textured trowel, apply a second coat, which lay the tile.
Selecting and applying an adhesive solution
The choice of adhesive depends on the type of tile and the surface on which it is applied. When it comes to finishing a complete bathroom (walls and floor), it is best to buy dry cement glue, but not ready to use mortar or mastic. Lime glue powder thoroughly mixed with water in proportions recommended by the manufacturer, and make sure the mixture is left lumps. Applied any glue with a special tile trowel 15 × 15 cm with teeth the size of 2,5-5 mm. The shape of teeth is usually triangular, but they can be rectangular.
Cutting tiles
The tiles on both sides put the risks of using a pencil or tile cutting. Then attach to the tile line or polygon, strongly hold him and spend a glass cutter or cutter, is strongly pushing towards you. For the breaking away of round pieces, use pliers.
Commencement of works
All work must begin with the installation of special decorative hardware - in this case is a mirror. Walls are rarely strictly vertical, so be sure to use a plumb and level. Then decide where to house the mirror and move it to the size of a wall with a gap of 1-2 mm. Do this especially neat if you stick the tiles on the quick-drying glue. Minor errors (cuts tiles) is quite acceptable, because under the sink, they are unlikely to be noticeable.
However, if you prefer to do everything on science, put all the tiles, except those that would have cut off, and then defining the center of a decorative object on the opposite side of the tile, apply a line-cuts. From the first series (bottom), use the crossing, first placing them perpendicular to the wall. Missed the area of ??the next row with glue, turn the cross on the wall and stick tile. An hour later, with the help of sewing carefully remove the cross. Do not tighten this work, otherwise the glue finally consolidate their position on the wall.
