Tile installation in Toronto and Hamilton
Our company is professionally engaged in laying tiles in Toronto and Hamilton inexpensively. A huge number of materials have been developed for indoor floor covering. One of them is ceramic tiles, which are most often used in kitchens, bathrooms and toilets. It can be large or small, and the color range is from white to black.
The main condition when laying tiles on the floor in the kitchen or in the bathroom is an absolutely flat floor surface. To do this, we first make a screed with concrete or sand-cement mortar. After it dries, we start laying the tiles. We use special glue for this. It can be bought ready-made or dry in stores. If the choice fell on a dry mixture, then pay attention to its purpose. There are several types of tiles:
– universal – suitable for any types of surfaces;
– basic – used for small sizes and only for flat floors;
– reinforced – designed for large size tiles;
– for complex surfaces – used very rarely when laying on metal, glass, etc.
The technology of laying tiles on the floor is quite complex and requires special skills. Main stages:
1. We clean the coating.
2. We mark. Thanks to this, the tiles are evenly laid out in a row and the number of undercuts is reduced.
3. Prime the surface with primer or water. This will allow the adhesive composition not to be absorbed, to dry gradually.
4. Apply glue and lay the tile, checking the level with a level. If necessary, level with a rubber mallet hammer.
5. We fasten the seams with special beacons-crosses with a width of 3 mm.
6. Clean and let dry.
7. Grouting the seams.
It is important to remember that the optimal temperature in the room during work should be about 20 degrees.
Sometimes it is necessary to lay tiles on an uneven floor, if it is not possible to make a screed. In this case, the work technology changes a little. We take into account the following nuances:
– we start gluing from the highest point, and mark from it;
– level the indentation with an additional layer of adhesive mixture, which we give time to dry;
– be sure to check the horizontality of each individual element.
There are several basic methods of laying tiles on the floor that masters can offer today:
1. Basic – lays without gaps in even rows.
2. Basic diagonal – laid in rows at an angle of 45 degrees.
3. Checkerboard – we use several colors, and the joints of the next row should fall in the middle of the previous one.
4. Chess diagonal – the principle is the same as that of chess, only at an angle.
5. Bricklaying – displacement is carried out in a straight line and diagonally, which resembles the laying out of a wall.
6. Herringbone – is used only when laying materials of a small rectangular shape and resembles parquet in its pattern.
