How to lay tiles

　　The proportion of tiles used in home decoration is very large, especially in the kitchen and bathroom areas. However, laying ceramic tiles is a technical job. Once it is not laid well, it is easy to hollow and fall off, which will affect the use and the overall appearance. So, how to lay tiles?

　　1, soaking the tiles

　　How to apply the tiles? Before applying the tiles, you must first clean the stains on the surface of the tiles, and then soak them in clean water. The soaking time should be at least 2 This is to make the tiles fully absorb moisture, so that the tiles will not absorb the moisture in the material when they are laid, and will not cause the material to be weakly pasted due to loss of water, resulting in falling off and hollowing.

　　　2. Setting up auxiliary lines　

　　 After the tiles have fully absorbed the moisture, start to set up auxiliary lines. In order to ensure that the surface of the tile after laying is flat and can maintain the horizontal and vertical, it is necessary to hang a vertical line on the leveling layer of the wall, and then set the horizontal line, so that the tile after laying is beautiful.

　　3. Setting up support planks

　When laying tiles on the wall, you must follow the horizontal line as the guideline, and then set up support planks. The reason for this is to prevent the tiles from not sticking. Falling or displacement occurs before the strength.

　　　4. Pave and paste in order　

　　 After all the above work is ready, the next step is to lay the tiles. However, it is important to note that when laying tiles, we must follow the order in which they are laid. First, start paving the doors and windows, and then pave the tiles from bottom to top, from left to right. After the wall leveling layer is prepared, use a shovel to smear the cement mortar on the back of the tiles, and then stick the tiles directly on the wall. After the tiles are laid, be sure to tap the surface of the tiles lightly with a rubber hammer or shovel handle, so that the adhesion of the tiles will be stronger and there will be no falling off.　　

　5. Cleaning and maintenance　

　　 After the tiles are laid, it is necessary to clean up some dust and stains on the surface of the tiles. If the stains on the surface of the tiles are difficult to clean, you can use a 10% concentration of dilute hydrochloric acid solution to clean them, and then clean them with water.
