At the stages of arranging ceramic cladding, mistakes are sometimes made, which can subsequently cause defects in the ceramic tile cladding .
The second step in planning and designing surface cladding with ceramic tiles is the selection of material: tiles, in accordance with the previously specified criteria; materials for the base; materials for filling seams.
The most common mistakes at this stage:
- the room is measured incorrectly;
- there is no breakdown of the coverage;
- ceramic tiles are calculated incorrectly...
The third step in planning and designing a ceramic tile surface is choosing the installation method.
Professional preparation of the subfloor should also include surface leveling.
The most common mistakes in the selection of materials:
- incompatibility of materials;
- technical characteristics of materials do not correspond to operating conditions;
- use of materials not for their intended purpose...
Existing (or old) subfloors require particularly high skill from the installer. It is often difficult to determine what type the base should be classified as and how suitable it is for further use. Each base has its own specifics that must be used in its preparation.
The most common mistakes at this stage:
- violation of the technological sequence;
- ignoring some stages of facing work;
- lack of operational control...
The most common mistakes in assessing the foundation:
- uneven foundation;
- unknown: material, base design and operating conditions of the facility;
- the maximum permissible humidity value has been exceeded...
The most common mistakes in caring for cladding:
- the features of the cladding material are not taken into account;
- the composition of the cladding care product is ignored;
- instructions for using cleaning or protective agents are violated...
The first step in planning and designing cladding is to analyze the basic design data. It is necessary to collect data on the following three aspects: environment; type and characteristics of the structure; geometric characteristics of the surface.
