Important subtleties when laying tiles

  • October 4, 2017

If you decide to put the tile on your own, then you need to take into account many points. If the base on which you are going to put the tile is porous, then remember, it absorbs more glue. If the tile is not glazed, then it also absorbs more glue than glazed. And in hot weather there is a large evaporation of liquid, so it is also necessary to apply more glue than in cool weather.

Before you start laying the tile, carefully clean the surface from dust and garbage. Organize the sequence correctly how work will take place, so that at the end you are not clamped in the corner, but are near the front door. If you need to walk on the tile just laid out, use the plywood.

When applying glue to the surface that you are going to lay out with tiles, apply it to an area of ​​no more than one square meter at a time. If you cover a large area, then there is a probability that the glue will take earlier than put the tile. When applying glue to the tile itself, you need to look so that the glue is applied evenly, without lumps. Otherwise, this can lead to a weakening of adhesion between the tiles and the floor.

Another main point is to choose the right tool. If a tool with a large size of the teeth, then it is convenient for them to cover a large tile. If the tiles are small, then you need to use a tool with a small size of the teeth.

Let’s say a few more words about temperature regime. The tile should be placed at a temperature of 18 to 24 degrees. If the temperature is smaller, then the glue will dry for a very long time. If the temperature is minus, then the water that is part of the glue will freeze and the glue will deteriorate.

Depending on the options and accuracy of measurements, you can buy a Sokkia taeumometer in Moscow from 288 to thousand. rubles. This is the price of an electronic taeometer Sokkia CX-105, 2012, which has an angular accuracy of 5 ″. Able to measure distances up to 5000 m with one prism ± (2mm + 2PPM x D), and without a reflector – up to 500m.
