How to glue tile

The tile is considered one of the most convenient finishing materials. It can be used also for finishing of walls, and at the floor device, it suits rooms with any temperature. Also the tile is considered high-eco-friendly material.

It is required to you

  • - tile;
  • - the gluing mix;
  • - palette;
  • - capacity for glue;
  • - construction level.

Instruction

1. Select tile depending on surface on which it is going to paste it. To calculate necessary quantity of tile, you make measurements of the surface demanding finishing. Buy material with small stock in case of defects.

2. Prepare surface before passing to gluing of tile. It is necessary to clean it and to dry up, and in most cases and to level. At uneven surface the tile will not manage to be laid beautifully and it is correct. On prepared for pasting tile of surface make notches, using chisel. They have to be frequent, superficial. Thanks to them good coupling of tile with surface at the expense of glue solution will be provided. It will cling to notches that will provide to tile reliable coupling.

3. Moisten with water surface on which you are going to stack tile. Thus it will be possible to prevent absorption of liquid from the gluing solution. If to neglect wetting, moisture from the gluing structure almost completely will pass into surface and quality of pasting it will be much worse.

4. Train the gluing structure in full accordance with the instruction on packing. You apply solution on surface with even layer, do not assume that he crowded on certain sites. Use the palette or trowel for putting the gluing mix. Its layer should not be too thick, and on surface it should be distributed as it is possible more exactly.

5. Take tile in one hand, and another apply on it by means of the palette a little glue. Level mix and apply tile to surface. It should be pressed more densely at once, and then to straighten, using wooden hammer. Stacking tile, it is necessary to control its horizontal and vertical position all the time, to check them by means of the construction level, plumbs. As the simplest plumb it is possible to apply thread on which end the cargo – bolt, nut, etc. is attached. After the tile is laid on all surface, bed joins should be closed up with use of zatirochny mix.
