How do you find your starting point for laying tiles?
This is Avery big question, but if you want to lay tiles: 1- What type, ist ceramic, granite synthetic or natural , marble . anyway. first look at the back of the tile , it has square pattern , if its low pattern then you need to add cement grout , choose self leveling of rough type that type that can provide more than one inch thick , chooz 2- component cement plus bonding agent , mix add to the back of the tile , let dry , then spray water for curing. Now you have more surface area to bond to the floor or walls . Seconed : alwayes use bonding agent when you use ready mix tile grouts (cement based plus SBR or Acrylics ) ( in Iraq we mix sand with cement at rate of 4 to 6 sand by volume with one part of cement and add latexes ). third : you better wash the floor , befor laying tiles. fourth: use slurry from the same cement based tile grout with the bonding aget but add more water to get primer . sixth: brush the floor with the primer, if the floor ios totaly dry , spray with water , or add little bit water to the slurry-primer( DO NOT LET IT DRY ) ( repeat the primer befoire laying the tiles). Seventh : Prepare the tile grout, add to the already rough surface of the tile , let one good highly skilled tile layer do the work , after laying the tiles, use mask tape to the sides of the tiles , add or fill the jionts with ready mixes , but always add bonding agent . You can use for foolrs, fountains , swimming pools also , i use aliittle bit more SBR latex and seal the floor with SBR 1 part plus 3 parts water plus one part cement , plus asmall handfull of very fine sand , brush kitchin floors, bathrooms, swimming pools, fountains, it last for ever . He tip is: latexes improves the mortar , it has strong bonding , and most important its flexibility , not mentioning water proofing , termite , insects that cannot housae itself in the mortar - latex formula .
