Technology of ceramic tiles

There are many ways and techniques to work with ceramic tiles. Getting to repair, as a rule, first select the tile, and then to pick up her plumbing. If the tile color, then its background looks good white sanitary ware. One popular combination of wall tiles - light top, dark bottom. The height of the dark bottom is determined by the height of the shell. Before you start laying the tiles should decide on its size. If the bathroom is small with low ceilings - tile smaller (20h25, 20x30 cm) visually enlarge the space. If the room is narrow and the ceilings are high, it is better to arrange the tiles horizontally, then the room will look wider and the ceilings a little lower. Think about the image placement, determine what the outcome of the last series. Look beautiful borders or "pencils" - thin curbs the size of a pencil. The next stage - counting the required number of tiles. To do this on a piece of the cage draw plan room. Apply a styling design and designate a place installation of all borders and decors to within one piece. According to this plan, it is convenient to calculate the exact number of tiles. Tile need to buy with a margin of 15%. To align the walls use moisture-resistant drywall, plaster or leveling compounds. Before the plaster walls, it is necessary to put "beacons" (performed by the level of the corners of the vertical layers of plaster), and focusing on them plastered all the walls. Before laying the tile walls and floor must be primed. Priming enhances the base, "killing" the dust and provides a better grip with an adhesive composition. Laying tile wall in a small room is better to start from the wall. Initially lay out the tiles on the floor and look what turns drawing. In tile under the "stone" could appear regularly repeating a line that would spoil the overall picture. In this case, every fourth tile is better to deploy (or put all the tiles in a checkerboard pattern). Getting installation, you need to know the exact location of the tiles on the wall. If the width of the wall is a multiple of the width of the tile (for example, on the wall is located 10 rows whole tile), then the tile fits without trimming. In this case, laid out in a corner of the first vertical row, then the lower horizontal, and then successively filled the remaining space. If the width of the tiles is not a multiple of the width of the wall (for example, is placed on the wall 9 vertical rows of tiles and another half a tile), then first determine the center of the wall and strictly according to the center prints the first vertical row. Coming from this series are moving in both directions, ending with laying tile in the corners cropped or vertical curbs. When laying ceramic tile in the bathroom are 2 ways to use tile work falls from the edge of a bathtub or the floor. In the first case on the perimeter of the entire bathroom at the upper edge of the room horizontally fix rail. It will serve as the basis for the subsequent installation of upper rows. After the solution dries and locks tiles securely in place, rail removed. Then you need to count down the ranks and under the top of the first row of whole tiles again to nail the rail. Tiles are laid on the slats from the bottom up, filling the remaining space. To blow was perfectly flat, it is recommended to outline in pencil on the wall a few vertical lines. When you choose the second way laying rail nailed under the second row from the floor and the tile is laid in the direction of the ceiling. If all calculations are correct, then the top row of baths should coincide with the start of a number of tiles. The first ground is made up of a number of trimmed tiles. This number must be displayed after installation of the tiles on the floor to hide the jagged edges of floor tiles that are cut much worse because of the high hardness.
