Tips on how to make the kitchen tile floor

Gender of tiles has many advantages: it is beautiful, durable, easy to care for him, making him one of the most preferred flooring used in this room as a kitchen.

In order to lay tile, first make a smooth concrete floor (this is described above). Then prepare a solution of cement and sand in the ratio 1: 0,75.

The base floor cover with cement-sand mortar and leveled to the width of 5 rows - about 50-75 cm moisten the surface of the solution and sprinkled it with cement, the top start to lay tile.

Facing sex means "direct number"

Holl should begin with the device of two adjacent fascia series (adjacent to the walls). Keep them from stacking the remaining rows in the direction of the exit from the premises. Receiving laying tile at facing the floor is slightly different from the reception when laying tiles lining the walls: this solution should be applied not on the tile, but on the basis of sex dampen.

The tile in the lower back of laitance (avoiding soaking), or moisten with water and using the paint-brush, push the streak to the solution and lay siege to the desired level of light tapping with the handle shovels through the wooden block. Then, speaking at the joints, remove excess solution and fix the value of seam steel pins, which remove 10-15 after laying of tiles. Joints between tiles to fill their depth. This is done for a more rapid hardening mortar layer.

Horizontal and supervise construction quality cladding level set at two-meter rail. If you find gaps settled remove the tile, then add the solution and set the tile into place, lining the surface of the cladding.

Straightness of joints can be verified by conducting edge trowel along the seam - trowel should not cling to the corners of tiles.

Facing the floor on the diagonal

Facing diagonally get better if the rows adjacent to the walls (frieze), lay a way of "direct number and had to make a diagonal brickwork friezes.

Holl diagonally on a flat surface can be carried out in rows parallel to one of the walls or sloping rows. In this case, at an angle of 45 "pull auxiliary mooring line to monitor the straightforwardness of the joints. Methods of laying tile and align it in terms completely analogous to techniques used in straight rows facing the floor.

Facing hexagonal floor tiles

When the device using hexagonal floor tiles laying in the following order.

After marking and proveshivaniya surface fascia lined the first row. It usually consists of tiles of a square or rectangular. Then Lay zadelochny series, which also consists of a rectangular or square tiles.

Next stage - laying the halves and quarters of (the corners) hexagonal tiles. Perpendicular to the frieze and zadelochnomu series set two pinch-prichalki on them and spread the lighthouse band of two rows of hexagonal tiles. Since this involves laying the remaining tiles on the already known technology.

Facing octagonal floor tiles

As with stacking hexagonal tiles, octagonal floor tiles flooring start with the fascia and zadelochno second series, consisting of rectangular or square tiles.

As established by the shore cords Lay Lighthouse series and then makes lining of the surface mooring cables pass for each series. After installing 2.3 in a series of intervals between the angles of the square insert earphones.In the series, adjacent to the Frisians, liners should have a triangular shape.
