What Materials / Tools Do You Need To Do Your Tiling Job?
So you have a tiling job to be done? Know where to begin? Besides the tiles themselves, you will also need a good adhesive as well as the proper DIY tools (and clothes). And check that your tiles are of a suitable material and quality – there should be no reason why you cannot ask someone at your DIY retailer any questions you may have.
Don't jump in just yet, even after you have got all your safety precautions manifested, always begin by cleaning the base floor. For even the smallest spot of grease or oil could mean that your tiling adhesive will fail to do its job.
Step By Step - How To Carry Out The Work On Your Tiling Job
The idea is to begin from the centre of the place where the tiles are to be applied. And it is easy enough to find; get out your tape measure and find the middle points of opposing walls, and draw a line connecting them. By logic, the dead centre will be where the lines intersect. Then you apply adhesive: spread 1m2 of it; use the notched end of your trowel to make ridges in it and then lay down the first tile, in one of the quarters snug to the intersection. You have to push down on the tile – but do this gently! By placing plastic spacers at the corner of each tile, you can keep equal distance between them easily.
Then begin working from the centre outwards, heading for the walls. Keep laying down tiles until you eventually get to the walls with whole tiles. Do the whole of one half first, followed by the whole of the other half. Then fit the tiles adjacent to the walls: with a tile cutter, this is easier than you may think – but wear eye protection (i.e. flying tile chips!). Note that tiling adhesive takes some 24hrs to set.
Then pull out the tiling plastic spacers and grout all the tiling – spread it diagonally. You wipe away the excess grout with a wet sponge (rinse it regularly).
