Technology of independent laying of ceramic tiles
To lay ceramic tiles work not easy and requires a certain experience. But if you still decided to take a chance and spend your time in order to put the tile with your own hands, then let me give you a little practical recommendations that will at least somehow facilitate your work when you begin to lay tiles.
Repair of any premises begins with measurements and surface cleaning: before you start laying the tile, you need to clean the surface of adhering dust and all kinds of mud, remove the weak elements of the base. Then you will need a level of about two meters long, we begin to apply to the walls and to the floor, checking all the deviations completely: the floors from the horizontal, and the walls from the vertical.
We align the surface: at this stage, all deviations should not exceed five millimeters, so you need to level the surface. Alignment can be aligned both using tile glue and using plaster mixtures.
Primer: if there are strong or weak absorbent bases then primer. The bases are weakly absorbing, that is, the old tile or paint, it is necessary to treat with especially adhesive primer. Before laying tiles, you need to determine the exact position of the tile on the wall.
