Tiled floors have again become very popular due to the advantages of ceramic tiles over other floor coverings. But how often have you had trouble laying tiles? Tiling problems are very common and sometimes lIt’s easy to solve, but even experienced tilers can miss out on complex tiling projects.

Tile Advantages is always looking for alternatives, usually to find the best possible layout or the small elements that make up their installation site. In this article, I will cover the worst tiling issues related to basic layouts, proper use of materials, tools, and gluing.

First, Know: Do You Use Technical Means To Design A Floor?

To get information about how the form affects the setup process, the tiler almost always does a layout study before starting. However, many of the frustrations when installing tiles are due to the inaccurate division of the floor. Knowing tile and room sizes is the most important first step in achieving the perfect project.

I would advise buyers to start by using a range of tile layout programs. This will help you measure clients and complete the layout, but you can be sure to use a laser measuring tool to get the right ones.Dimensions for the room.

The Most Common And Most Serious Problems When Laying Tiles

Many have heard that mosaics are considered relatively simple, doable, and not a problem if … there are no hardware problems. Awfully often, the same problems with ceramic tiles can be seen over and over again. Here is a list of the worst mistakes when laying ceramic tiles, how and how to avoid them:

Loose Tiles

Sometimes existing tile material flakes off from the substrate and you may not notice it without further investigation. To check if an existing tile is in good shape to accommodate another tile, tap it gently with a tool. An empty melody indicates that the tile does not adhere well or in some cases must be related to the type and substrate used. In this case, the entire floor should appear hollow due to the evenness of the subfloor. Before starting Also check the floor and remove loose tiles if necessary.

Cracked Tiles

Sometimes tiles break even if you don’t notice. Professionals tend to think that the tile as a whole has damaged something by falling on the tile, but this is not always the correct color. Tiles can crack as beams tend to move and shingles are likely mid-span between beams. Before starting work, make sure the ground is level and the subfloor is properly reinforced. The maximum allowable deflection should be about 1/360 of the span.

Insufficient Expansion-contraction

The hardening and wear of the concrete, as well as the chemical reaction, are two critical moments that affect the advancement and contraction of the tile. Failure to have proper seams, especially with adjacent or underlying materials, can result in tiles falling apart in the air. The tiles then expand, compressing other materials, leaving at least ½ inch between the last row of all tiles and the next surface or material, either on the floor or on the wall, allowingThere is a lot of materials to shrink together. … Remember that a smaller grout can fail if not done correctly.

Lack Of Cleaning And Processing

Got it, huh? Well, sometimes tilers do not take the necessary precautions to clean the tile and finish the surface. Proper cleaning of the tile base leads to better adhesion of the adhesive to the human surface, which simplifies installation work. It is important that the inspection is carried out at least 6 feet from the floor slab. Anything closer is not ANSI compliant and can lead to big problems.

Unsuitable Adhesive

Sometimes there is not enough glue or glue remains only in the corners and in the center of the same type of tile. The wort adhesive is evenly distributed under the tiles, forming a uniform adhesive film. When laying in residential premises, porcelain stoneware must occupy at least 80% of the contact area, while when laying commercial tiles, 95% of the adhesive must be the contact area.

What if the glue was too strong? This may seem annoying, except that theIt sometimes adheres better to subfloors than to parquet and laminate, which creates a weak point in the adhesion of parquet and laminate. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for using the correct stick depending on the type of substrate, such as tiles. The characteristics and properties of a tie may vary depending on the installer’s practice and the chemicals used.

Using The Wrong Document

When it comes to laying a sub-floor, a rule of thumb is to have at least 1/4 inch of wrap underneath to provide the required strength. The substrate must be laid on top of the mortar layer. This layer of grout is important, but it does not replace a thin-set grout, the main purpose of which is to fill the voids and provide a flat work surface, usually a subfloor.

Apply The Wrong Solution

Using the correct amount of water when mixing the mortar will prevent the mixture from drying out and provide the desired consistency during styling. Please note that good yThe wood and laminate flooring installer will be aware of grout color problems as he will buy the required amount of grout in one go and avoid multiple grout orders. Grout companies can use a variety of materials to enhance the color of the grout. I recommend creating a sanded grout because it has a more textured grout than no sanding for best results. Remove excess cement from the tile two hours after grouting. Two hours is enough for the grout to dry.

Installation On Poorly Prepared Subfloor

Many problems with laying ceramic tiles arise from the fact that the subfloor or subfloor is not ready or not properly prepared. If you have few options for laying tiles on top of other materials, be sure to check:

• Check existing tiles and make sure the floor is missingloose or chipped that may interfere with good adhesion.
• It is especially important to level the surfaces. Not if you can level the surface with a grinder, grinder, or tile counting system.
• Create a roughened surface for better grip. The existing surface should have some roughness to facilitate the bond between the new adhesive and the existing surface.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove all debris with clean water and remove all allergenic particles and debris from the surface.
• Also, use epoxy or other adhesive recommended for this type of installation and finish. This will help you avoid common tile texture problems later on.

Now that you have confirmed all these problems, check the following information as well:

• Tile over wood sub-floor – make sure moisture or water does not affect wood elements and apply thin glue in addition to laying the subfloor. Smooth the surface with a putty so that cracks can be limiteds in a tile by time.
• Laying Tiles on Existing Floor – Be careful not to crack the surface or create a roughened surface so that the precise adhesive provides a secure connection between the two areas. If possible, remove the tiles and be sure to create an aggressive surface.
• Tiling of parquet floors is still not the best option and a more serious common mistake. Skip the concept if possible. If you have no other choice, remove the new polyurethane membrane from the parquet floor – create a better adhesive surface. Before opening, check the condition and distance between the main beams, as they may change from previous structures to new ones. Also use a specially formulated, low viscosity solution for best results.
• Tiles over vinyl flooring. In situations where vinyl flooring is laid on top of concrete, additional time will need to be taken to ensure that the vinyl is clean and can absorb the thin mortar.
