The quality of the tile grout joints depends on the further operation of the tile. Typically, a tile grout provides reliable protection against foreign substances, dust, mold, etc. However, when seams mashing required to take into account a huge amount of detail and nuances, on which depends the quality of their work. On them will be discussed in today's article.
There are some subtleties in the grouting between the tiles:
1) It is important to clear the gap of foreign objects. There may accumulate debris, which would adversely affect the final result. For this purpose, require a thin metal knife with which to complete the task will not be difficult. Ignoring this recommendation will lead to the fact that the grout will fall unevenly, and of the resulting debris in the crevices. Thus, the solution of coupling technology with tiles will be broken. It is unlikely that such a grout will last for many years without any complaints.
2) the uniformity must be maintained during application grout layer. Excess mix must be immediately clean. If this time is not done, then the grout from the tile surface grab. In this situation, we will have to re-lay tile, wash because the substance is unlikely to succeed. In addition, applied evenly grout increases the durability and wear resistance of the tiles in a few times. Also smooth grout outwardly looks much better. Such tiles can fit almost any decor.
3) Stitches overwritten only after preparation of the solution. For this will prepare the container and pour it in warm water. After implementation of the above actions, pour the mixture and stir it thoroughly. At the same time, take care to stir the solution obtained without lumps. By the process of preparation of the solution should be taken seriously.
4) Professional installers recommend dampen the gap between the tiles with water before you overwrite them. Thus, grouting tiles with improved adhesion of several times. For wetting the joints well suitable broad brush.
5) Grout is applied spatula. In this case, the tool must move perpendicular to the joint surface. When working with a trowel mixture should be extremely accurate. At the end of the grout must completely fill the interior of the slit.
By following the above recommendations, you can get a perfectly smooth tile seam.
