We lay the tiles on the floor

Of course, only special tiles are used to lay tiles on the floor. Most of the models of floor tiles differ in that they are somewhat thicker than wall and due to a special coating do not slide when walking.

There are two ways of laying tiles. The first option is called “seam into the seam” when the tile is laid in rows, one above the other. After laying, the seams should be perpendicular to each other. The laying of the second option is called “into a run”, this means that only a horizontal seam remains, from which the tile is placed so that each next row is shifted to a distance equal to half the tile. So, vertical seams should fall in the middle of the tile from the lower row.

The laying with the preparation of the surface begins, which should be even and dry. Then you need to think about how each tile will be located. It will take enough time, but the result will please. It is necessary to ensure that important objects of the room are symmetrically laid out with tiles on both sides.

After all the locations and measurements, glue is applied. Its layer should be uniform, for this it is preferable to use a shoulder blade or spatula. It is better to apply from one of the corners, gradually, on a square meter or on the center, it depends on the masonry method. On the adhesive base, the tile is placed with a slight pressure to the floor, strictly along the conceived line, until the entire surface with glue closes. If you need to use separators. Tiles should be at the same level relative to each other.

After closing the entire floor, the remaining empty places near the walls are laid with a tile chopped with a special cutter. And at the end of all the work, when the glue dries, if necessary, a primer is applied and the seams between the tiles are wiped.
