Tile can be introduced over tile as long as the basic tile is sound. Prior to thinking about whether to introduce tile over tile, examine the first establishment for breaks, free tiles and water harm. In the event that the hidden tile isn’t steady, the tile that you put over it will clasp, break or tumble crazy over the long haul. A typical issue confronting installers of divider tiles is the tiles’ moving lower under the power of gravity before the cement sets. This is normally brought about by not blending your glue appropriately. Intently adhere to your maker’s directions to guarantee legitimate blending.
Guidelines
Preparing the Surface
1. Clean the outer layer of the tile that you are tiling over.
2. Sand the outer layer of the tile to help the bond of the nội thất cần thơ new tile to this surface. Utilize a sander with 80-coarseness sandpaper to unpleasant the outer layer of the tile.
3. Tidy and up the surface to eliminate any residue brought about by the sanding.
Spreading Out the Tile
4. Track down the specific focus of the divider. To do this, utilization an estimating tape to track down the focal point of each side of the divider and define an opposite boundary from the edge across the divider. At the crossing point of this X and Y hub is your middle imprint.
5. At the foundation of the divider lay a line of free tiles from the middle imprint to the furthest limit of one of the dividers or establishment region. Make certain to embed two spacers in each tile with the goal that you get a legitimate design. You can no doubt not fit the last tile between the edge of the divider and the column of tiles. This is fine; forget about that one for the time being.
6. Measure the separation from the last full tile to the edge of the divider or establishment region. Note this distance for some other time.
7. Lay one more column of free tiles from the focal point of the divider the other way.
8. Measure the separation from the last full tile to the edge of the divider or establishment region.
9. Move the upward focus line to part the distance between these two estimations. For instance, assuming the space on the left side is 8 inches and the space on the right side is 4 inches, move your line 2 crawls to the left with the goal that there are 6 creeps on each side.
10. Rehash this interaction for the level place line. In any case, since you are introducing divider tiles you can not lay these on the floor as you accomplished for the upward focus line.
11. Place a tile at the middle imprint and hold it with your hand.
12. Put you tile spacer on top of the tile and leave an imprint on top of the tile spacer.
13. Set the lower part of a tile at this imprint and rehash the interaction. Place a tile spacer and leave an imprint.
14. Measure the separation from the last full tile to the highest point of the divider. Mark this distance for sometime in the future.
15. Rehash a similar interaction toward the lower part of the divider from the middle imprint.
16. Compromise between the two estimations and change the middle line as the need should arise. The convergence between these two changed lines is your tiling place mark. This parts the divider into four quarters. You will tile these quarters each in turn beginning from the middle imprint.
Setting up the Thinset
17. Pour a portion of the maker’s suggested measure of water into the 5-gallon container.
18. Void portion of the sack of thinset into the container.
19. With your processor/powerful drill set at a low speed, with the blender connected, mix the water and thinset.
20. Add the excess water and thinset in little clumps while blending, until you have added the entirety of the water and thinset.
21. Subsequent to mixing completely, permit the thinset to sit for 15 minutes so the glues inside it can completely integrate.
Laying the Tile
22. Scoop a piece of thinset out of your container with the half-inch scoop.
23. Begin at your middle imprint and spread the thinset across the old tiles. Slant the scoop at a 30-degree point and spread the thinset in huge half-bend strokes. The edge of the scoop shouldn’t haul along the tile underneath, yet ought to press the thinset against the fundamental floor.
24. Spread a few square feet of thinset out. Try not to cover the entire floor.
25. Place one tile at your middle imprint, toward the side of the quarter of the divider that you are beginning with. Try not to press the tile down into the thinset, yet give it a delicate, even press so it bonds to the thinset.
