At the moment, tile is one of the most popular and common finishing materials. And any developer trying to buy high-quality products and in every possible way to save money. But it is worth saying that in the process of repair is still often encountered a situation where the flow of material actually increased, which entails additional costs. And this applies first of all tile adhesives and high-quality products is expensive.
It is worth to know that there are several options for saving, which does not entail any unpleasant consequences. But first you need to understand the reasons for that is due to increased consumption of glue.
The main material flow causes
Some specialists neglected preliminary alignment of the surface, and, on this basis, there are a couple of ways to solve the problem:
- It is possible to adjust the curvature of the walls by adding glue mixture under each tile. And if the curvature is quite serious, the adhesive consumption increases significantly. But it is also necessary to understand that many modern mixes shrink, so sometimes it just slips or tiles under it there is emptiness. Ultimately, the quality leaves much to be desired. Only an expert who really has the experience and knowledge in this field, can perform quality work and the customer will not have any complaints. But in this case it is advisable to use no glue and cement-sand mixture.
- Can be laid tile, repeating all the irregularities and bends, the inclined surface. Of course, in this case, the material is practically overrun will not, but to lay a tile exactly fail, so that the quality will suffer.
How to be in this situation?
The optimal solution is to pre-plastered surface using beacons. In such a case it is possible to create a surface which is close to ideal, in which case the solution will be negligible consumption. To comply with the standards established by the manufacturer, it is recommended in the process use a spatula, with a depth of 6 mm.
In general, many, in order to save tile adhesive instead prefer to use a cement-sand mixture, and sometimes also using the bituminous mastic. But in this situation it requires a perfectly flat surface without flaws. Another way of saving - adding gypsum mixture, but in such a case, quality is not the best.
