Measuring and cleaning the walls before tiling a wall tiles

/in /by

Measure the width and height of the wall to find out how many marble tiles you need. Use measuring tape to take precise measurements of the area of wall you’ll be tiling wall tiles. To find the area of your wall, multiple the length times the width, and then divide this number by the area of 1 box of the tiles design you are using in order to determine how many to purchase. When you’re purchasing the tiles price, buy an extra package of tiles in case some get damaged while you’re hanging them.

For instance, if the wall is 10 by 12 feet (3.0 by 3.7 m), it is 120 square feet (11 m2). Then, if each box of tiles has 10 square feet (0.93 m2) of tile, divide 120 by 10 to find that you need 12 boxes to cover the wall exactly. Then, you should add an additional box to account for potentially damaged cement tiles. Since the grout doesn’t take up much space between the tiles, and your tiles likely won’t fit in the space perfectly, you don’t need to account for it in your calculations.

Use a chisel and hammer if you need to remove existing rustic tiles. Put on a pair of safety goggles before you start removing the tiles. Then, place the chisel at a 45 degree angle between the tiles and hit the end of the chisel with the hammer to separate the wood marble tiles from the wall. Use the chisel to scrape between the tiles and the wall until they’ve all been removed.

It’s easiest to start removing wood tiles from a corner or from the top of the wall so you can place the chisel directly on the grout, which tends to be weaker than the tiles. Be careful while you’re removing the tiles. It’s easy to accidentally make a crack or hole in the drywall if you’re not holding the chisel at a 45 degree angle while you work.

Fill any cracks or holes in the wall with spackle. Once you’ve exposed the drywall underneath any existing tiles, you’ll be able to see any problem areas. Use a scraper to apply the spackle and let it dry according to the package directions, which is normally about 4-6 hours. For cracks and holes larger than 4–5 inches (10–13 cm), you may need to patch them with drywall. If you’ve never hung drywall, ask a professional for a quote to see how much it will cost to fix that area.

If the wall doesn’t have marble wall tiles, it is probably painted or wallpapered. You can use the same method for repairing the drywall without removing the paint or wallpaper. Sand the walls with coarse sandpaper to smooth any bumps. If you had to remove pre-existing wall tiles design or fix holes and cracks, there are likely bumps in the wall.

You can tiles over it, but it needs to be smooth to prevent your new tiles from laying crooked. Look for 100-grit or 80-grit sandpaper, and wear a mask to protect your lungs from the particles in the air. If you’re sanding a large area, it might be easier to use an electric sander.

How to Install Tiles?

Spread your mortar. Spread mortar in a small area where you will begin to work. Only work with a roughly 2’x3′ area at a time. You do not want the mortar to have time to set before you can lay your floor tiles. Using a notched trowel (different sizes may be needed, 3/8″ is a good starting point), spread the mortar between sections that you marked with the chalk line. If the mortar rises up between the tiles design (to be flush or nearly flush with the cement tiles surface), that means it’s too thick or that the ridges need to be shorter.

The mortar should be covering the entire tiles, if you lift it up after placing it. If when you lift up the wood tiles you see only lines of mortar on the tiles, then the mortar has dried out too much or the bed is too thin and the height of the ridges must be increased. If using tile sheets, use a trowel with smaller notches. This will keep the mortar from coming up through the gaps between the tiles.

Lay your tiles. Lay your tiles onto the mortar, starting at the right corner you marked and following a straight line. Leave gaps of 1/8″ where the edge of the marble tiles meets up with the wall or floor. This is to allow room for expansion and movement, as the material naturally changes with its environment. This gap can be covered with grout, molding, or shoe tiles.

Insert the spacers as you go. Place tile spaces between each tiles price as you go, or simply use your eyes to estimate if using bathroom tiles sheets. These spacers are usually places at the corners of each tiles and look like the cross shape that is formed by four wood marble tiles being next to each other. Level the tiles as you go. Use a carpenter’s level as you go to make sure that the tiles are level.

Cut tiles for the edges. Use a masonry wet saw to cut any tiles you need for the corners and edges, carefully measuring them to fit for your particular tiles project. Don’t forget to leave the 1/8″ gap all around the edge. Remove your spacers before doing the grout. Remove the spaces once the mortar has set and you’re ready to grout.

How to distinguish the good and bad of the tiles?

Water absorption reflects the density of floor tiles, and indirectly reflects the hardness of tiles, but there is a point need to pay attention, the marble tiles are not be the lowest water absorption the better quality is. When purchasing tiles, we need to pay attention to the smoothness of the tiles design. Poor quality flooring tiles the smoothness will be uneven.

The surface of the bathroom tiles determines whether the effect is smooth, and the straight test of the edge corner of the wall tiles are to see if the kitchen floor tiles are tidy and the size of the gap is consistent. To test the stain resistance on tiles price, we must know that wood tiles will accompany us for a long time.

The tile now have a series of innovations in wear resistance, such as polished tiles, microcrystals tiles, full body glazed tiles, and rustic tiles, which have a qualitative leap. To judge whether the surface is wearable, we only need to pick up the knife or key in the hand and scrape to the surface of the tiles to check if it will scrape the glaze off the surface of the tiles. If such a small description can not be accepted, it can be concluded that this tiles are not a good companion who can accompany us for a long time.

The qualified tiles are usually packed in cartons, and the name of the production plant, the product name, the trademark, the size, the grade, the weight, the color number and the quantity should be printed on the packing box. The national standard stipulates that the surface quality of the superior tiles should be observed at least 95% surfaces at least 0.8 meters without obvious defects. Of course, most of the tiles will be able to reach the standard if they are based on this standard. But we mainly do not look at 95%, but have no obvious defects, from the packing box random checks of several tiles, see the surface of the product has the following defects: ripples, spots, glaze, knock, crack, lack of glaze and so on.

The dust, the debris thoroughly clean, no empty drum, crack and sand and other defects, the smoothness will fundamentally determine the quality of the tiles, good tile workers this step is in place. Before laying the tiles, we need to find the vertical line in advance so that the tiles are uniform and vertical. In addition, the elevation control line should be popped around the wall before the construction, and the cross line is popped out on the ground so as to control the size of the floor tiles.

On the basis of the design requirements of the drawings, the color, texture and surface leveling of the floor tiles are selected strictly, and then the pre paving is required according to the requirements of the drawings. The possible size, color and texture errors in the pre paving are adjusted and exchanged until the best effect is achieved, and a smooth stack is stacked smoothly according to the paving.

The surface of floor tiles should be wetted before paving. The floor tiles are placed on the cement mortar according to the requirements, and the cement floor tiles are tapped with a rubber hammer until the dense and smooth surface reaches the requirements. It is very uniform when the mortar is smeared. It is to prevent the possible cause of the tile empty, and there is a hole and other tools to smooth the post paving of the cement layer.

Why can’t bought the cheap tiles?

Home decoration is a very tedious thing, and the effect of home decoration is more related to the use of housing in daily life. In order to decorate the effect of home decoration, the selection of floor tiles is very important, because tiles are the largest building material used in the whole family assembly link, besides the ornament and decoration of the house, the more important function is to protect the whole surface of the house.

Since the application of the decoration floor tiles design is so important, we should pay great attention to the selection and purchase of marble floor tiles . Especially, we should pay attention to it: too cheap tiles should not be bought, because it is too cheap, there must be problems. Why is it too cheap to have tiles design? So what are the main problems with too cheap floor tiles? Cheap tiles, very poor level. Too cheap tiles, must be the existence of smoothness, the use of these tiled tiles price to decorate the house, housing is difficult to produce the overall effect, with such wood tiles on the ground or wall, often appear uneven phenomenon.

Cheap tiles, easy to infiltrate. Too cheap floor tiles design, the existence of floor tiles surface easy to seep. Because the bulk density and sintering temperature of the floor tiles are not enough, the density of the body and the sintering problem will lead to the low overall vitrification of the floor tiles. Finally, the wood marble tiles appear surface infiltration after being put and applied in the future.

Cheap tiles, there is a serious color difference. Too cheap bathroom tiles, products before the factory, most of the products are not too strict product color classification, or is the product size and color number of various requirements are not strict, so it is easy to appear serious color difference, the use of such cement tiles to the house paving, the overall effect is a disaster.

Cheap tiles, poor wear resistance. Too cheap rustic tiles, the design of the product itself is defective, the budget cost of the product is already discounted, so the surface of too cheap tiles are naturally also not good wear resistance, not to reach the standard. Cheap kitchen tiles, not skidding. Too cheap wall tiles, most of the rough, like such products have no specific product standards, not to mention the antiskid coefficient of consideration, the use of such products for paving, in the elderly or children’s families, that has a huge security risk

Cheap tiles, no guarantee, no service. Too cheap tiles, not only does not guarantee, but also has no service, because similar to these too cheap porcelain tiles products are mostly from irregular manufacturers, similar to irregular and unstructured manufacturers, they are often lack of support and service support this link.

The details that are easy to be neglected in home design must be seen before decoration.

Living rooms, bedroom and long passages require dual control switches. If there are elderly people in the family, they should switch the switch and socket to 1.5 meters away from the ground, so that children can not play with electricity. If necessary, you should outlets for appliances such as water purifiers, kitchen garbage disposers, smart toilet covers. The dining room and the living room ground to install a metal insert, used to insert a hot pot or the small warm stove used in the south in the winter, in peacetime with the ground flat, foot step out to prevent people from tripping over the wire wrestling.

If the room is covered with wooden flooring, you can put 1 square meter tiles behind the door, wear-resistant and clean. Some may lay paving mat, but the floor tiles mat is easy to dirty, so it is not economical in the long run. Live with the old man and prepare a shoe changing stool for them. The old man stooped directly, causing a spinal injury. The porch wants to use the locker, but the space is small, the entrance will be very crowded. In fact, it will be nice to change it into a hat hook.

Without the elderly, the TV in the living room is not necessary to buy, to buy a projector to connect to the set-top box, computer and so on. There will be children later, so that children will not want to watch TV all day. Don’t enlarge the tea table, big sofa and so on. The size must be measured in advance, and more space should be left. Space is not enough, do not buy big chandelier crystal lamp, one is to suppress, two is to live for a long time on the top of the ash several layers, I believe you do not want to rub. Choose wall-haung furniture or edge furniture off the floor. The most important function of the living room is to show and rest, do not store too much, and pile up in a mess. There is no sense of beauty. Save the living room space and prepare a chest of drawers for storage in the corner. Small space and height is not high when the ceiling, and not much practical function, but smaller.

The bedside cupboard is not necessary. It takes up the place, and everything in it is sundry. The newly married couple decorate their houses, and the baby bed must be laid on both sides of the bed. Wardrobe is the top priority. It should consider the structure of the wardrobe according to the composition of its own clothes, for example, the clothes hanging are mostly stacked. Two or more sockets should be designed on each side of the main bedroom head. In addition to charging the electronic equipment, it will also be used for hot milk and disinfector. If you want to set the location of the air-conditioning ahead of time, you’d better not face the bed.

Many small space houses want to make the baby room made of tatami, and it is really beautiful, but the damp place is really unsuitable and easy to mold. Families who are ready to have a second child have switches and sockets on the top or bottom of the bunk bed or two single beds. The whole house, especially the children’s corner design, or a small gadget for collision avoidance, is very cheap. The light should be soft, otherwise children will not have good eyesight. A night lamp should be provided for children’s room. Don’t buy furniture too early. Your baby’s eyesight is incomplete. It’s not suitable to see elements that are too bright.

Most people say that disinfector is not as practical as a dishwasher. Many family sterilizing cabinets will become expensive cupboards. The kitchen socket must be provided with five holes and switches to reduce the electrical appliance. We must make good use of the space of the kitchen wall, save some space with some hardware, such as leachate rack and kitchenware rack. The hardware of the cabinet is very important. Plan the location of kitchen appliances ahead of time, so that the socket can be conveniently reserved. The open small bar is very low.

There is a set of sockets near toilet closets, with a heated toilet lid. Happiness is much higher. Armrest and shower locations should be equipped with handrails to facilitate the use of pregnant women and the elderly. Dry and wet separation is necessary, although it will make the area look smaller. When you clean up, you know its benefits. The bathroom faucet can be drawn with a stretch style, and men at home have shampoo in the morning. Leave enough room for the baby bath. The odorless ground leak, you know its benefits. Using wind heating instead of bathing bullets, the strong lights of bathing bullets will stimulate the vision of the elderly and children, and the warm effect of wind heating will be better. A waterproof cover must be installed in the socket of the bathroom.

Why do family decoration choose marble tiles?

Marble tiles have the realistic texture of natural stone, both the superior performance and green environmental characteristics of the tiles, and the popular decoration owners’ favorite. Marble tiles floor have become the mainstream choice of the public house. But because of the continuous expansion of the market, the related Dali stone tile products and brands are becoming more and more. Therefore, how to choose the marble tiles that are desirable is particularly important. What are the important features of high quality marble floor tiles?

Marble floorings have abandoned the fragile and fragile properties of natural marble stone. In the hardness of products, the marble tiles are hard and wearable. The marble tiles not only resurrect the ceramic tiles, but also give the life of the tiles. At the same time, the marble tiles return to the original appearance of the natural marble, and the awe can be fearless, and the marble tiles are fearless. It is not only the infinite reverence for the life of nature, but also the artistic conception that ceramic people pursue the product perfectly.

The texture of marble stone on the surface is orderly and orderly, and every texture has the nature of nature. The rich texture presentation and color seem to be a grand decorating banquet. The rich texture effect of the layers is more satisfied with the needs of the perfect decoration.

With the support of exquisite ceramic technology and top ceramic equipment, marble tiles not only have the hard physical properties of the tiles, but also create the fine texture of the marble tile products. The fine texture of the marble tiles also gives more expressive force to the product itself.

Marble tile is one of many kinds of ceramic tiles, however, the ceramic tile flooring is the art of soil and fire. In the past, it is difficult to achieve the expectation in many kinds of ceramic tile products, but the marble tiles are exactly the appropriate parameters of the tiles, and it is the ultimate harmony. Marble tiles are the most exquisite symbol. Every marble tile product is so smooth, so gentle and pure, and it is also a kind of softness.

The decoration of marble floors is very strong, it can set up all kinds of home application space and scene perfectly. The effect of the shock is not only to the enjoyment of infinite vision, but also to a very good fusion of people and the environment. As far as ceramic tile design are concerned, marble tile is a kind of tile like natural stone. Fidelity is the first parameter to select marble tile. It emphasizes its fidelity, compares porcelain tiles with natural marble, and has a good similarity under the premise of removing impurities.

The pattern of the marble tiles design is its unique and indeterminate change. In order to avoid the hard sense of space, the stone grain on the tile should not repeat as far as possible, and a few cases of tile are laid on the ground to see whether the pattern is repeated, the lower the repetition, the better the decoration effect.

The imported inkjet printer is an important equipment for making marble tiles. High precision inkjet printing technology can perfectly restore the natural color of natural stone. It is true and solid: at least 360DPI precision spray printing is needed in the picture. It is clear whether the pattern is clear at the scene, and the mesh can not be seen from the naked eye at 10CM. The drawing line is of high quality.

The ceramica floor tiles with low water absorption is not easy to absorb dirt and better quality, good marble tiles should be very low water absorption, high vitrification and tile body, not easy to seep water: water absorption should be below 5/1000, can try to drop water on the back of ceramic tiles, water infiltration slow or non absorbent, the quality of ceramic tiles is better.

As a ceramic tile, all kinds of friction or impact can not be avoided in the daily use of the family. Hardness is also one of the most important elements of marble tiles. In order to avoid the tiles easily damaged, the durable marble tiles should have high hardness: the thematic moth hardness should be more than 6, and the hard iron with the blade and so on is in the outdoor ceramic tile table. Face scratching, without leaving scratch quality.
The mass density is closely related to the weight of marble tiles. In the case of equal size, the larger the weight of the ceramic tiles means the thicker the quality of the tiles, the more sufficient the materials, the higher the density.

BARANA tiled time rustic tiles create an elaborate home for you

Lu Xun said that if you do not live by selling your text, you don’t need to “trick” it. In the evening, we were in a hurry. We looked at the flow of people and built countless “detailed” delusions. We long for life to be slower, slower, and meticulously intensive and clear.

In Asia, the first healing art documentary “The Great Shokunin” was directed at the craftsmanship of 20 ingenious craftsmen in Asia, truly recording and displaying the process of making unknown craftsmanship and exquisite artifacts. The form of the show exquisite 20 artifacts and local culture. The lens faithfully reproduces the local cultural landscape and customs of the craftsmen. They (her) are a light in the time; they are the inheritors of life and meticulously carve the beauty of life.

It took three years for Suzhou Jing, a fan artisan who was obsessed with ancient culture, to visit only the remaining traditional craftsmen in Suzhou. With these old craftsmen, he not only restored the work of the old ancestors, but also inherited the art of the old literati. The silk fan of silence for a thousand years has passed from the past to modern society. The group fan represents a kind of attitude towards life, living in a dark, peaceful and elegant world. Although it is mellow and reserved, it is generous and natural. This move by Li Jing has made the ancient fanatic radiance of the new era.
Li Jing said that there is no worthless art, only repressed efforts. Respond to secular prejudices with your own opinions. Not for their own name, only to pass on the name. In the end, I let my true love things be treated by any era. As history rolls forward, wood type printing has been abandoned in the old paper pile?

The 14th generation of Wang Chaohui, the 14th generation descendant of the wood type printing technique in Jiangnan Dongyuan Village, was more than Lianjia. He still insisted on printing the genealogy in wood type. In the era of electronic typography and type printing, he personally left ink in the book pages. A kind of ancient art that was supported by the ritual sense, still persists in its own attitude in the torrent of the times. Maybe this is a faint sound, but it cannot disappear.
Wang Chaohui said that there is no shortcut on the road to become a master. The most clumsy efforts can also be harvested slowly. Although Yugong is foolish, he also sees his craftsmanship.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Some people say that the passage of time recalls that time; some people say that whether the fast-paced life can be a short pause; some people say that life lacks a kind of ingenuity and serious beauty. In fact, I want to say that this beauty is in your home. Home is a sheltered bay; home is a small street light; home is a warm hotel and an eternal destination. For each of us, the family is very important. With the indifference of the people, we hope that the family can warm our hearts; in a cruel society, we hope that our family will bring us good things; a huge pressure of life, we hope to return home and enjoy quietly.

Tiles, as an important part of home decoration, always resonate with our hearts. When we suffer from the coldness of the outside world, we walk into a space that is carefully designed with ceramic tiles. It is simple and stylish, as beautiful as a painting. Some soft outfits add a little bit of fortune, touch the hand and feel the moment when the last drop of water in the desert evaporates.

Carving time rustic tile new products series, through inkjet technology and glaze processing technology, showing athens rustic wood tile series of antique charm, open the athens culture of fashion aesthetics, recalling the beauty of time. The heavy texture, well-embossed line patterns, such as the rugged mountains of the mountains, are also the marks after years of polishing, depicting the texture of modern fashion.

The deep gray tone and fine lines give the product itself more vividness, such as the melody of the beat, the minimalist design, the sense of fashion, and a sense of space. Sensual brown, light and bright lines, like the shallow texture of the flow of river, combined with movement. The simple bookcases allow the elegant space to be full of fashion and personality.

What is the marble tile of the full body?

/in /by

The full body marble tile is the upgrading product of marble tiles with large tile body and surface texture and color. On the full body marble tile, the color, texture and function of the full body tiles are infinitely close to the qualitative effect of the natural stone layer, and the texture is penetrating and stronger. The entire tile’s body can achieve perfect texture from any angle and any cutting method. It can achieve real texture and high-end atmosphere.

First. What is the faux marble tile of the body?
The full body marble tile is the upgrading product of natural marble with large ceramic tile body and surface texture and color. The appearance of natural stone is consistent with the inner billet, but the effect of traditional marble tile is very difficult to achieve this. Thus, in the process of deep processing, the internal different colors of the body can be clearly seen in the process of processing, such as slots, chamfering, arc and so on. It looks very incongruous with the effect of the glaze surface of the tiles. It’s a pity. And the process and system of making marble tiles is to improve this problem. It is necessary to make the color and texture of the body close to the surface effect, even in the same way.

Second. The advantage of full body marble ceramic tiles
1.Full body marble tile on the tile body, the color, texture, function infinitely approach the qualitative effect of the natural stone rock formation, the texture is more transparent.
2.The combination of the full body three-dimensional fabric and the color-mixing and coloring process enables the entire body-to-surface glaze layer of the ceramic marble body to be exactly the same. The entire brick body can achieve the perfect texture rendering effect from any angle and any cutting method, so that the true texture body can be achieved.
3.Full body marble floor tile products are pressed and formed at a high tonnage press and fired at high temperature. The finished tiles are more delicate in color and have higher performance and quality.
4.The appearance of the natural stone is consistent with that of the inner slab. The full body marble tiles restore the natural precious stones and bring the distance between the marble tile and the natural marble products closer.
5.Tile blanks are full of changing textures, and products and spaces are full of soul. Not only do designers like it, but the effect is natural, elegant, and more satisfying to consumers’ needs.

Third, the full body marble tiles decorative effect
Full body marble tiles have the same characteristics as the surface, so it is suitable for all kinds of wall surfaces such as wall surfaces, curtain walls, etc.
Full body marble tiles are multi-faceted with heavy texture, especially suitable for larger residential or high-end commercial spaces. Full body marble tiles have been applied in villas, high-end hotels, restaurants, clubs and other high-end places.

Ceramic Tile Selection Is Critical

How to choose polished tiles?

Diagonal ratio dimension

Two pieces of the same kind of brick face to face overlap, four corners aligned, rotating one of the four sides of the same size is always good. This method is especially suitable for glazed tile inspection.

Check the flatness

Two pieces of the same kind of brick face to face overlap, four corners alignment, rotating one of the pieces, easy to turn, poor quality, and vice versa. This method can not be used to detect antique brick. The remarkable feature of archaize brick is the arbitrary change of surface color and pattern, and the surface can be uneven.

Look at the water absorption rate

The size of water absorption is an important sign of tile quality. When a small cup of water is poured on the back of the brick, the faster the water disappears, the higher the water absorption rate is, the looser the texture is and the weaker the strength is.

Matters needing attention

The kitchen is a place to smoke more, choose white tiles will feel more difficult to clean up, but as an open kitchen and should not choose a dark color tiles, the yellow tiles, and the kitchen can not only good color collocation into a color, but also around the bar and the colors of the tiles echoes the overall design, special care.

The floor of the living room walls and ceiling even curtains all blend into one harmonious whole, are the same, the owner looks really in color collocation on the next work, the overall feeling generous, noble, giving a strong visual aesthetic, but the drawback is that the floor is too smooth, but clean up would be more trouble, have children or the elderly you must pay attention to slip.

how to choose floor tiles

1, if your home space is relatively small, it is like cooking area, bathroom area, you can choose a smaller size of the tile, so that the shop will not waste more, but also to make the space looks more coordinated. The utility model can also avoid the inconvenience caused by the construction of the large-scale cutting of the ceramic tile.

2, we should also pay attention to the selection of water absorption rate, which is an important indicator of its quality. We can pour some water on the back of the tiles. If the water disappears faster, the higher the water absorption rate is, the looser the texture is and the weaker the strength is, and vice versa.
