You stick a ticket for a show the size and spacing of the tiles. Start with the food on separate tiles, the bottom plastic spacers available through the thickness of the line of malta. With a square and a pencil, mark a straight piece of wood shows the distance between the tiles.
Draw a reference line through space. In a bathroom, pull the line level with the top of the tank. In other areas, draw a level line around the room, which is halfway between floor and ceiling. Draw a secondhorizontal layout of the tile border, if at all. In addition, you must provide the location of recessed lighting, such as medicine cabinets brand.
In a bathroom with a knee wall, draw a line in the middle of it and transfer the line to the wall with a plane. This vertical line will center a line of mortar on the line in the wall plaster knee.
Place the bar passes the intersection of horizontal and vertical reference lines. The horizontal line at the edges of the tiles and entertainmentJoints between them.
Draw a vertical line marking the outer edge of the last piece to complete the goal. Put glue along the tiles and mark the wall showing the location of the tiles and joints. When the time to come, you will begin tiles in this area.
Note mixing a batch of mortar according to the manufacturer. If Malta does not contain latex, latex in a separate tile shops or sold in the department to mix tiles. Latex strengthens and slows maltathe rate of drying, allowing more time to work.
Malta scattered on the wall for the full-time, which is both the angle and the floor. Spread the mortar with a notched trowel controls, the size and shape of the notch, given the amount of mortar on the wall. Make sure you follow the manufacturer's guidelines tile.
Place a full tile on the wall at the intersection of the line. One of the tiles is in place, then measure the distance below it. Subtract the width of a common line of thisMeasurement and use of the combination square to get a line on the face of a tile to select the right size.
To cut the tiles, rather than open in a cutter. Align the card with the cut on the leading boat. Put the knife down and pull the handle toward you and published the tile. The life of the wheel cutting down the T key and press the handle down sharply on the tile to snap along the scored line.
Butter baking tiles in the area where it is difficult mortars, which areWall. Depending on the size of the room, it can be difficult to Malta on the ground or in the vicinity of the edge. If so, apply mortar on the back of the tile with the same knife that was used on the wall.
Place a tile spacers between the tiles and cut above the other and press the tile into the wall. Spacers are sold in department and tiles are available in different widths. Get those equal to the width of the joint through the tile manufacturer's recommendations.
To laycuts on the corner tiles, a stone installed directly over the last disk is full. Place another tile, so that the edge is a spacer against the wall. Trace along the edge of the top plate on the center plate to mark for cutting. Cut the tiles to size and insert it into the mortar.
Continue setting tiles, is addressed with reference lines and spacers so that it contains the correct distance. Barriers for holes with an electric drill with a tile cutter attachment. Brandthe center of the hole on the card, so the cutter diameter to the size of the hole. Disconnect drill the tiles on a piece piece of wood on a flat surface and cut the hole, a low rate to a variable speed.
Making curved tile cuts notches and locking of the tile with an abrasive blade designed to cut the tiles.
Place the tiles on the obstacles as you work along the wall. Make sure that the joints evenly so that the tiles are not createdProblems for the tiles you put later.
Cutting tiles, leaving space for accessories, such as six tiles. Apply thinset mortar inch 1 / 8 on the back wall and the accessory. Put them in the space you have left for them. Support with tape to the dry mortar.
Laying tiles when you reach the border line that marks its location. Dress a border tile wall and are not difficult to install with all the other tiles. Put the tile in place with spacers between them and theirNeighbors. Follow the line of the layout carefully so that the boundary layer remains.
Install the special pieces, such as tiles on the top edge of the tile bull, charity, before it reaches the ceiling. Bullnose tiles have one or more rounded edges on the perfect look. Tile to go all the way up to the ceiling does not need disguise. If necessary, cut, regular fit in the space above the tiles last full plate.
Place the knee when the wall gets. Keep the joints in line with thosethe wall, and maintain the level of tiles with floor tiles and tiles in front of the bull board, only half of the front edge of the wall with double knees turn, which has two edges rounded on top. Install it first, and then cut a single bull to another to adapt.
Remove the plastic spacers and let the thinset dry. Mix enough mortar to fill the gaps. Working in 3-meter-square sections, apply mortar in a sweeping motion with a rubber grout float held at 45 degrees to the wall. NotJoints on the floor, or in the bathtub curve.
All manufacturer recommended time for the series malta, joints and wipe with a damp grout sponge to remove excess mortar. Rinse the sponge frequently in clean water. Wait about 2 hours and sponge remaining distance. After waiting the time specified by the manufacturer for the grout is completely dry, use a special applicator, foam or small brush, apply a coating of silicone to seal the joints to avoidStains and mold.
Squeeze a drop of silicone in the joint above the tub and all the floor and corner joints to seal them against moisture. Run a wet finger around the wet handling. Once the caulk is dry, polish the tiles with a dry cloth to shine.
