Tile laying is an important part of decoration. Tile workers' technology directly affects the overall effect. As far as I know, most of the masters usually don't or seldom use tools, but rely on experience to work. However, in foreign countries, for example, in the United States, Russian masters will use "tile leveler" to level, so the quality of three months' experience and three years' experience is the same There are standards to follow.
A relative in the United States told me that the tools used by the local people in tiling are very special, which are understood by the decoration colleagues at a glance. The principle is to put a T-shaped plastic sheet with an opening in the middle between the two floor tiles, and then the two floor tiles naturally close to clamp the gasket, revealing the vertical gasket can ensure the gap.
Next, insert a triangular wedge similar to the "door stop" into the opening of the gasket, and clamp it with a special tool, because the bottom of the triangular material is flat, and it crosses the junction of the two tiles. When the clip is clamped tightly, the two tiles will be leveled naturally, and there is no need to repeatedly hit with a rubber hammer or worry about where they are not flat. The gap of ceramic tile wants to leave 1.5mm or 2mm, put in corresponding gasket.
Laying tile
The method of laying wall tiles is basically the same as that of floor tiles, except that the triangular rubber plug inserted should be inserted from top to bottom, otherwise it is easy to fall before being clamped. When paving square floor tiles, four groups of leveling materials should be used for one brick, and the same is true for wall tiles. If it is rectangular, two groups can be added. After the tiles are fixed, use shoes to kick the removable material to fall off. The gasket is disposable, and the triangular removable material can be reused.
To put it bluntly, using the tile leveler is like an assembled wardrobe. The factory's production master comes to your house and assembles it on site. Whoever assembles it will be the same. But if you find a carpenter to make the wardrobe by hand, the effect will be different for everyone.
