Let's just say that it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of the base on which the tile will be attached, the type of work is internal or external, cost, etc. Cerezit construction mixtures and jackets are characterized by good quality. Sometimes consumers prefer liquid nails, but this method has not yet acquired sufficient popularity.

To begin with, prepare the base, carry out the primer. Special attention is paid to this stage if the basis is inherent in the increased absorbency (drywall, GVL). In the bath or bathroom, treat the walls with a special moisture content to protect against fungus and bacteria, as well as water vapor. If the surface is very loose, it costs to primitive in two layers. In this case, dilute the composition on 1/5 water.

Before applying the solution on the decorative tile, it must be prepared so that it is cleaned of garbage and dust. Now we look at what basis is the glue composition. When the solution is based on water, then before it is applied, we wipe the tile on the back by a rag or a sponge that we wat the water. If the glue is made on another basis, then you need to choose a solvent, which is compatible with it, and wipe the surface by this tool.

The components of the solution should be carefully measured and mix until a homogeneous mass is obtained. For mixing, it is recommended to use an electric door with a nozzle. When laying the decorative tile, the consumption of the adhesive solution, which is applied to it, is not the same. This amount will change depending on the work carried out. When you have a porous wall or gender, then the composition will be spent more than when laying on a smooth surface. At different temperatures and humidity, the consumption will also be different.

When the solution is applied to the tile, the comb in hand needs to be kept at an angle of thirty degrees in relation to the tile. Lightly add all the cracks and pores. Save on the solution is not worth: The glue is recommended to apply a layer of at least three millimeters. Still see what the height of the teeth on the soldier. The thickness of the adhesive solution should be slightly higher than the height of the teeth.

After the adhesive solution on the decorative tile is applied and smooth, it must be combined with teeth. Keeping the comb in hands should be under an acute angle in relation to the tile of thirty - sixty degrees. Try to ensure that the depth of the grooves applied is uniform and the same in height.

The tile must be laid immediately after the adhesive solution was applied and combed. When installing, it is best to use a laser level instead of marking lines. Upon completion, it is necessary to take a solution from the seams of the tile, which remained there. Cleaning the seams stands with the help of a universal knife until the adhesive solution hardened. On the front side of the tile remove the remnants of glue with a rare or a sponge moistened in water or solvent.
