Methods of laying ceramic tile - technology for all occasions

methods ceramic tiles - consider subspecies

Stacking "seam in the seam» .This is a popular way of facing surfaces.Tile form perfectly straight horizontal and vertical rows.Align vertical joints made plumb and horizontal - on the level.

Wall "in the dressing» .The first row of tile is laid out in the usual way with the alignment level.The second row is laid out in such a way that the middle of each tile was placed over the seam sever two adjacent elements of the first row.Realize is performed by horizontal rows.

Laying ceramic tiles on the diagonal .This type of work is considered the most difficult and time-consuming.Usually this method is used for the lining of large areas and has the effect of expanding the visual space.The entire surface is prepared for the installation, divided into rectangles or squares.Inside these squares laid ceramic tile, distributed diagonally.

Laying ceramic tiles on a wooden floor - troublesome, but feasible

Ceramic tiles can coat the surface of concrete and brick, plaster and wooden base.Its features make it spread in all the building surface, i.e.and the floors, walls and even ceilings.

You can often hear the question: how to lay ceramic tiles on a wooden floor ?To prepare the surface for laying and implement itself facing, you need to have the tools:

• parchment paper,
• assembly foam,
• building level,
• screwdriver,
• screws,
• Tile,
• trowel,
• rubber mallet,
• liquid glue,
• sand, cement, concrete block, as well as DSP or plaster-fiber sheet.

Laying ceramic tiles on a wooden floor requires that the ground was quite tough and durable.Therefore, before laying it carried out a thorough examination of existing coverage.

1. structure of the wood floor is divided into several layers: the actual flooring (parquet or linoleum), the substrate (chipboard or plywood), as well as the rough floor (this board and lags).Most likely, it turns out after inspection that the old wooden floor together with the need to remove the substrate.Lumber and logs remain as the basis for the new coating.But that they have served for many years, it is necessary to remove them and carefully handle special protective impregnation.After drying, the logs must be installed on a substrate and to expose horizontally, using a long building level.
2. After this lag is necessary to pour small clay pellets to the upper level and are ready to mount the board.Fix the board connection Lagoi should be self-tapping screws.Boards need to be customized in such a way that there is a gap of approximately 3 mm between them.
3. After installing the boards it stretches parchment paper, and set on top of new substrate, which is used as a DSP or a plaster-fiber sheet is 20 mm thick.It is fixed with screws on the entire plane.
4. Butt joint the floor and walls filled with foam.After that the floor is primed and is coated with ceramic tiles.
5. need to start laying a lit room angle to fit in the further trimming remained in the shadows.Important to know: Coating of wooden surfaces with ceramic tiles is carried out only on the cement glue.Since there is a maximum adhesive drying for 30 minutes, then it must be applied to a small area.
6. gently tapping with a rubber hammer laid ceramic tiles achieve a snug fit tiles to the base.At all stages of laying should always use level for leveling horizontal surfaces.To correct the shortcomings in the lining tiler left only 10 minutes.Grouting to produce after drying cement glue.

Laying ceramic tiles on plasterboard - consider the features

Laying ceramic tiles on plasterboard carried out using a special cutter, notched trowel, spirit level, crosses, and a rubber mallet.Preliminary surface preparation includes:

• putty joints sheets of drywall,
• primer surface.

After all the preliminary work, you can proceed directly to the tiling.In stores construction materials is a rich variety of special adhesive used for mounting on drywall from leading manufacturers.

adhesive mixture has a dry period of about 10 minutes, so it needs to be applied on small areas.Tiles drywall surfaces should be carried out at intervals.Stacked series 5-6 to take a break.This is necessary for starting the first fixing elements on which will be equal to all other.Grout joints is carried out after the complete drying of the adhesive mixture.

Laying ceramic tiles on the ceiling - it's important to know?

Laying tiles on the ceiling done the same tools and the same technology as the wall cladding.An important condition for this type of placement is just perfectly smooth surface for tiling.When wall covering surface should be flat, but slight deviations are permitted and are aligned with a mixture of glue for installation, but when working with a ceiling leveling adhesive composition is unacceptable, sinceit promotes weighting tiles and its detachment.

All work on the preparation of the surface and wall of this material is quite capable to perform independently without involvement by the tiler.Suffice it to a very strong desire, and everything will turn out.
