Illustration of how to pull the floor tile line
1. Tile soaking
First, you need to clean the tiles and soak them for more than 2 hours. Why soak them? Soaking is because tiles can absorb enough water to avoid absorbing water in the material after paving, which will lead to insufficient water in the adhesive, affect the bonding firmness, and then cause hollowing and falling off. Tiles need to be taken out of the water after being fully soaked and before being laid, and the surface moisture can be wiped off before being laid.
2. Set the auxiliary line
It's an important step to stay when laying the floor tiles. It is necessary to hang a vertical line on the leveling layer of the wall to determine the dimension line of the tile. Then pull the horizontal line, so as to ensure that the tiles are laid horizontally and vertically.
3. Set the support plate
When laying tiles, it is necessary to confirm the elevation with horizontal lines, and set up wooden boards to support the tiles to prevent the tiles from shifting or falling off before reaching the bonding strength.
Step 4 shop in order
The laying of floor tiles generally follows the order from doors and windows (or balconies), from top to bottom and from left to right. The concrete paving method is as follows: firstly, wet the leveling layer with water, apply mud (or other adhesive) on the back of the ceramic tile with a shovel, then stick the ceramic tile on the wall, and then tap the ceramic tile with a shovel handle or a rubber hammer to make the mud fill the gap between the wall and the ceramic tile.
5. Cleaning and maintenance
The stains and dust on the surface of floor tiles need to be cleaned up in time after paving. When the surface pollution is serious, especially when some stains are difficult to remove, it can be wiped with 10% dilute hydrochloric acid solution. If it is washed with dilute hydrochloric acid, it must be washed with tap water at last.
It should be noted that it is necessary to clean up the cement slurry and other sundries in the brick joints in time when sticking the floor tiles.
Wipe off the stain with a damp cloth. If you wait until the slurry is dry and hard before cleaning, it is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also ineffective, and it is easier to cause permanent damage to the glaze of ceramic tiles. The above is the illustration and step description of how to lay the floor tiles for everyone. After reading it, the floor tile will not be stupid. There are still many places to pay attention to when laying floor tiles.
