During any repair work, it is not advisable to disrupt the sequence of work.
To lay floor tiles, follow the following steps:
As for the installation, it is necessary to start either from the far corner of the room, which we see immediately at the entrance, or from the center of the floor, if the tile has a pattern that needs to be selected.
What materials are needed for laying tiles on the floor?Choosing the right materials is one of the most important steps in laying tiles.
First, it is necessary to choose the decorative facing material itself, and only after selecting glue, grout and other auxiliary compositions for it. For example, by choosing the most common small ceramic
tile, you can use the standard Teknofay C1T glue, but by choosing a tile, for example, made of granite or marble of large size, you need to purchase a more durable and expensive glue, since the first one will not be able to provide a long service life. In this case, a reinforced elastic adhesive composition is suitable, for example, Teknofay Flex C2TE S1.
In addition to building chemistry materials, you will need:
Cement-based adhesive for ceramic tiles with high adhesion strength
Elastic high-performance adhesive solution for laying ceramic tiles, porcelain, granite, marble, natural stone, stained glass and brick
