Tile laying technology. Tile glue is applied to the floor surface with the straight side of the spatula. At the same time, the spatula should be kept at an acute angle, because it is in this case that he will penetrate all the irregularities of the floor. After applying the glue, it is worth walking with the jagged side of the spatula along its surface. It is worth ensuring that the height of the furrows that turn out to be the same, and the thickness of the glue layer is equal or was more than 3 mm.

Next, lay the tile on the glue, while first it is worth laying whole slabs and only then chopped pieces. In this case, the mosaic of the tiles is more even. With a similar approach, it is more logical to start laying tiles from the corners that will be more noticeable to the eye and end with less noticeable angles.

In those areas in which whole slabs are no longer placed, pieces of tiles are cut, cut with a special tile cutter or glass cutter, if the tile is thin.

The laid tiles should be aligned with the help.

After about a day, sloppy gray-brown seams between the plates can be processed by grout. Grout is dry or finished.

The finished grout is much more convenient, as it does not require unnecessary preparations. However, it costs quite expensive, and not everyone can afford. But if you have a little extra money and, most importantly, the desire to spend it for your own comfort, then feel free to buy a finished grout, it will help you save you strength.

However, if for some reason you cannot fork out for the finished grout, then you can do it completely. The difference between the seams, processed ready and dry grouting, even a professional does not distinguish – in their composition they are quite similar. However, dry grout should be specially prepared. For this, the purchased powder is diluted in the water in the proportion indicated on the package.

Now that the grout is ready, you can start work. The stage of processing of the seams between the tiles many consider much less complicated and important, and therefore perceive it as an opportunity to rest, and, therefore, do it somehow. This is wrong. Inaccurate grouting can greatly spoil the general results of labor.

Remember: each repair stage should be taken responsibly.

Having finished the whole range of work, you can safely be proud of yourself. During all the other stages of work, the idea will be warm about how it will still look great tiles that you put with your own hands.
