Tiles can be ceramic, glass and polyvinyl chloride. Its appearance allows you to imitate stone, wood or brick. Using the tile, as a coating, the wall becomes immune to pollution, which, having fallen on the tile, are easily washed off. She is not afraid of moisture or temperature drops. In most cases, this type of wall decoration is used in the kitchen and bathroom room.
The base for the tile can be any. It should be noted that if the tile is laid on the surface of the drywall, then the metal mesh is previously mounted on such a wall.
The tile is attached with bitumen mastic, cement mortar, cement -based mastic, rubber or rubber. The use of an adhesive basis on the basis of mastic is not recommended in places of heated.
Tile laying occurs after repair work related to flooring and after wall shrinkage. Before laying, the surface of the walls is superimposed. The walls themselves should be clean, so the fat is washed with water with the addition of soda or potash. All irregularities at the time of styling should be eliminated.
The back of the tiles is refused, which helps to adapt it with the solution. Glue is applied with a 3 mm thick spatula. When applying the solution at the edges, left free 5-6 mm so that when the tiles are pressed against the wall, the entire solution “spreads” and fills this free space. Before installing in the right place, the tile is brought to the surface horizontally, and then quickly turned over 90 degrees simultaneously with the “landing” to the desired place. After that, it is besieged and directed to the same plane as neighboring tiles.
For individual sections of the walls, you can use glass tiles. Its thickness is about 8 mm, and the back side has reefs 2 mm high. In appearance, they are “easier” than ceramic tiles, but they are distinguished by higher strength, hardness and water resistance. Their lining is much easier. If the glass tiles are large, then wooden plugs are previously mounted in the wall, with which it is attached to the wall with screws. To drill holes in such a tile, kerosene or turpentine are pre -poured under the drill under the drill. If necessary, cutting use a diamond cutter, and the corners are a little round to prevent cracking. The procedure itself is similar to cutting glass: first, a line is drawn in a cut, according to which the tile is subsequently broken.
