Ceramic Tile brings a texture, richness and color to a room that Linoleum, even imitate real. Flooring: Tiles can be installed in each room, but they are seen more frequently in the bathrooms and kitchens. I especially like the input, which serve as the point of transition from outside to the large carpet or hardwood floors. They provide an easy cleaning and are impervious to water damage.
Brick Types
Ceramic tiles are available in two basic types. Glass and porcelain.Stained glass holds the best for heavy traffic areas and porcelain works well in bathrooms. Porcelain is typically more expensive, so as to maintain the budget and the size of the tile field. Tiles in various shapes and sizes. For flooring, however, I would be using larger tiles up to 12 "x 12 suggest.
Attic
For proper installation of the foundation base or foundation is critical. Typically consists of ¾ "to 1 ¼" of plywood. TiledLinoleum or existing tile is also possible, as long as it is solid. I would also recommend when Tiling over Linoleum that you first apply ring nails or screws 6 "on center over the entire surface. Tile can be installed directly on the concrete. Ensure that in all cases that the floor level and free of dust and dirt before 'installation. There is the level and before applying tile if necessary, you can use.
Site Preparation
Before the actual installation of tile, it is betterWas seen in the area, as it will appear. Pay attention, because it runs in walls, in corners and near the toilets, bathtubs and toilets. The trick is, tiles, tile sets do not show so direct, in visible places. If this is completed to make two marks with a pencil in the most centered tile. These lines should be at right angles to each other. Also note the wall, which will see most of the others. Now remove the tiles. Nextdraw or snap a line perpendicular to this wall, in line with the marks you made on the ground.
Then draw a vertical line in this first line. This second line should be centered with the first line and fairly in accordance with the mark you made on the second floor. If you do this, complete re-layout some of the stones along the perpendicular lines and observe if you are exhausted in a way to limit that will be cut and pressed tiles. Once this is complete, remove the tilesand preparation for the actual installation.
Installing Tile
Again, make sure the area is free from dust and dirt. Subsequently, the ceramic adhesive or mastic on the ground starting in the middle of the intersection of two perpendicular reference lines. They use enough material to be extended to 6-10 square meters, provided that no cuts are needed. If the cuts are necessary to limit the amount of mastic application to about 2-4 square meters. When applying the mastic, first spread with the end of the flatTrowel. Lay it on relatively thick, about 1 / 8 "to 3 / 16" thick. Then turn the trowel and run the notched edge on it. This creates ridges in the mastic that helps to hold the tile down more securely. The larger the tile, the larger the notches should be. For example, I use a ¼ "notched trowel for 12" x 12 boxes.
Note: Take only enough ceramic adhesive for 30 minutes, since this material tends to harden rather quickly.
Once the adhesive has beenaccustomed to working with the installation of the boxes from the center outwards. With larger tiles you should back butter. Basically, you apply a thin layer of glue on the back of the tile before laying on the floor. This will contribute to a good bond.
As you near the walls or edges of cabinets, bathtubs and toilets, you have to cut some of the boxes. I recommend the use of a Wet-Saw. A Wet-Saw you can make very precise cuts, large and small. You can also save moneyThis is much less waste tiles with bad cuts or broken tiles. Wet-Saws are not that expensive and when you see the finished product will be safe to install than tiles. Wet-Saws can also be rented as a cheaper alternative.
Tiles, when the application, you can use lugs. Lugs are effectively spacers come in different dosages. I would not normally more than a ¼ "space between tiles. Busy Spacers will ensure uniformity with your card forDistance.
Injection --
After the tile has been installed completely, leave for 24-48 hours before you sit down on her and mortar. Grout is available in many different colors and is very easy to install. Simply mix the grout with water or a special binder and apply with a rubber spatula. Run the trowel on a tendency to walk to the corners of the tiles.
Once the mortar has been applied, immediately wipe the tile of excess grout with a damp sponge and a bucket of water. Wait 30More minutes to clean the boxes of any residual mortar. Wait another 60 minutes and repeat. If you grout the tiles to dry, you have a lot of elbow work scraping away.
Let the grout sit for 24 hours, and is ready for use and admiration.
