The ceramic product market is saturated with new types of tiles. To date, even a professional is not so easy to navigate throughout the variety of selection of ceramic tiles, which differs in textures, the method of applying drawing and manufacturing technology. There is a tile, which is a classic option for decoration of walls in the bathroom, floors and kitchen aprons.
As well as products from porcelain stoneware, which have more weight and stacked on special glue. The integristening is greater thanks to the high characteristics of the strength on the break and resistance to abrasion, so successfully applies in places with a large flow of people. For example, in shopping centers and various organizations.
In the hairdresser or dining room, in the store or cinema you can meet a porcelain stoneware as a beautiful floor covering. Thanks to the attractive appearance, the porcelain stonewares are closed at home. For example, in the hallway, where the ordinary tile will quickly erase from shoes or crack, without adopting the blow to the heel.
TOaK as porcelain stoneware has a bigweightIt is most often used when finishing the floor.
Ceramic tiles produce a single firing method, and a porcelain programming according to the technology of "monocottia", in which the product is not covered with icing. With this method of production, the color is distributed throughout the plane, and the product has high strength characteristics. To date, this technology was modified.
Porcelain stoneware and ceramic tile Flash stoneware began to cause glaze, so it acquired, various textures and successfully applied at home.
Also, the porcelain stoneware differs from ceramics with components, which are included in its composition and give extra weight. Porcelain stonewares are burned together with the icing, which as a result has greater strength and less porosity. This property of the glaze allows the use of a product for finishing walls and floor in wet rooms, since due to low porosity the material almost does not absorb water.
Ceramic tiles burn twice - with icing and without it. Such a technology is called "bicoture". Produced by this method have a smaller weight and a higher parameter of moisture absorption, it is 10%. While the porcelain stoneware is 0.05%. Conclusion: ceramics is inferior to porcelain stoneware and moisture absorption, but has a smaller weight.
The main advantage of this material is low moisture absorption, so if it is used in the room where the temperature can drop below zero, it does not crack. The strength of the porcelain stoneware allows it to be used in places where the floor covering is experiencing heavy loads, for example, in the garage. In this room, it is possible that pollution of the floor covering with various oils and other materials that are poorly cleaned. The resistance described by the material to chemical exposure allows cleaning with any synthetic detergents.
In the living room or bathroom, in the corridor or in the kitchen, porcelain stoneware looks great due to the original texture.

Classic option
The main advantage of this method is to save material. After laying, the minimum of segments remains, and the process itself occurs faster, compared with complex types of layouts.
Classic option To make the floor, more interesting combine several colors. Such layout is used in small rooms up to 10 m2.
When combining several colors for rubbing seams, various colors of grouts are used. The result is a neat and beautiful coating.
In the disintegration
This method is used when laying rectangular collections. The photo shows products that imitate parquet.
In the disintegration This option refers to the simplest, with which a beginner tiler can cope. But it is recommended to use special leveling systems designed for fast and high-quality stacking, which will be discussed below.
Layout on the diagonal
Widely used when finishing the floor in various rooms.
Layout on the diagonal After completing the floor cladding works in this way there are many segments, so the material is purchased with a margin. Difficulty when laying with their own hands, on this layout lies in the fact that it is necessary to accurately display the diagonal of the room. An inexperienced master can watch the video on the Internet and master this method.
Modular layout
Requires a certain experience from the tile.
Modular layout
When working, you must have a layout scheme on paper to properly accomplish.
Chess
For such layouts buy the appropriate collection of finishing material.
Chess If you try to put a tile with your own way in this way, cutting fragments yourself, it does not lead to anything good. Since manually will be very difficult to cut the tile perfectly exactly in size. This layout is applied on large areas from 10 m2 to 50 m2.
What to choose glue? The glue should be designed for porcelain stoneware. Here are the most popular adhesive compositions:
Glue Knauf. - Resistant to reduced temperatures and high humidity.
Glue Knauf. Suitable for applying on the street and indoors. Bag weight 25 kg.
Glue unis - It is convenient in operation due to increased elasticity.
Glue unis It has frost resistance and moisture resistance. Weight of one bag of 25 kg.
Ceresit glue - Environmentally friendly material that reliably holds cladding on the wall surface.
Ceresit glue Bag weight 10 kg.
Calculation of the number of tiles on the floor
To calculate the amount of material, the area is calculated. For example, in the bathroom 2.5 2 meters, the floor area will be equal to 5 m2. Tile area measuring 0.3-0.3 meter Roven 0.09 m2. To calculate, 5 m2 is divided by 0.09 m2. As a result, 55 tiles on a room at 5 m2 will be required.
When cladding the floor, the weight of the porrite does not matter, since the glue is not subjected to vertical loads, as when finishing the walls. Laying a porcelain stoneware on the floor begins with the preparation of the base, which should be clean, dry and durable. To secure the base, it is covered with primer.
The base is covered with primer To do this, use a roller or brush. When applying primer, you can guide the video.
At the next stage, it is necessary to mark the surface of the surface depending on the type of layout. With the classic version, laying the facing is made from the wall, which is located opposite the door.
Wire surface markup At the same time, the distance between the walls should be measured. If the wall with the door turns out the tile segment less than half the tiles, then the first row should be shifted in such a way that the walls have the same segments.
Glue distributed to a toothed spatula Then put the porcelain stoneware and with the help of rubber xyiyanka put the tile horizontally in all directions.
Plastic crosses are installed Between the tiles, plastic crosses that determine the thickness of the seam are installed.
After 8 hours, you start the last stage. Clean the seams with a spatula or stationery knife. Then, rubbing the seams.
Putting seams After all the seams are processed, the excess grout is washed with a sponge.
Despite the high weight of the tile under it you can make an electric or water warm floor.
These are devices that are plastic clamps and wedges.
Plastic clips and wedges The system allows you to lay the styling with your own hands in an inexperienced person at the level of the professional, regardless of the area of \u200b\u200bthe room, which can be 5 and 50 m2. On the Internet you can find a video on which work is made using this system. To create a smooth floor, you need to install two clamps for each tile and tighten them with wedges.
The wedge presses the elements of the facing and aligns them relative to the horizon.
Wedge presses cladding elements After drying, the adaptation adaptation adaptations are removed by hitting the hammer on the clamp, in the seam direction. Using this system, put the tile is very simple.
If you comply with the technology, choose the right glue and creatively approach the floor finish process, you can create a beautiful and respectable coating without attracting specialists. You can bind the bathroom and or put the sexual coating in the living room and the corridor is no worse than on the video on the Internet.
