Currently, a huge number of companies that are engaged in production of tile adhesive. Without a doubt, this product is very popular and in demand. Despite this, its cost is very high, and often inaccessible to many who have started construction or repair work. What to do in such a situation, and whether there is any actual output?
Output really is, and it is quite simple. Often, instead of expensive tile adhesive is applied ordinary mortar which leaves much cheaper, but no less effective. Next will be told in more detail about this method.
How to work with cement mortar?
First of all, you must understand that no special effort and knowledge in this case, you do not need. The application of such a solution is made ordinary trowel, but there are some small rules that are best followed in order to avoid problems.
- Apply the solution must be sufficiently thin layer, in order to avoid irregularities.
- Be sure to watch out for, so that the solution was completely homogeneous without lumps.
- You only need to apply a fresh solution, because it dries quickly.
Among other things, some is added to a small amount of cement glue, to the solution is better kept, although it is not necessarily. When used properly, everything should work without it.
A great advantage of the cement slurry is it sufficiently high elasticity, through which can be easily controlled, and applying the layer thickness.
As many experts say, if you decide to put the tiles with his own hands, it is best to approach to this issue, "the squares", otherwise, it may be quite substantial Problems.
Just pay attention to the weight of the tile, the higher it is, the more you may need a solution. If you use a mortar with glue, it may sometimes be necessary to apply two coats.
What special rules exist?
It's hard to call the rules rather some features that you need to know.
- If you notice that the solution is too thin, it is not necessary to add the cement again, it is best to wait for some time, it will likely thicken.
- Stir the solution should be within a few minutes as clumps may remain, particularly when using cold water.
In all other respects everything is standard, and the grout in this case is no less effective than ordinary tile adhesive, and the method of application is almost identical.
