Mosaic on the floor, undoubtedly, looks spectacular and aesthetic. However, its laying is not as simple as it may seem at first glance.
First of all, it is necessary to carefully prepare the surface on which mosaic tiles will be laid. It should be dry, smooth and clean. There should be absolutely no irregularities! It is strongly recommended to seal the surface. It is important to remember: high-quality surface preparation is the key to successful laying mosaic.
The next stage is marking work. This stage is extremely important, as it will help to achieve perfect laying and avoid mistakes in work. For marking, the mosaic sheets are stacked on the surface and the pencil is placed their position relative to each other. On this measured loop and mosaic will be laid.
Now that the surface is prepared and marked, you can start laying mosaic tiles. You need to start laying from the center of the room, as in this case, then it will be easier to customize it in the corners and side walls of the room.
Glue for mosaic It is desirable to choose white or matching color with the color of grouting, which will be used in the last stages of work.
The glue is applied to the surface with a layer is not thicker than 5 mm and spacked with a toothed spatula. Then the first sheet of mosaic is placed on the glue. But it is not enough to lay enough - it is necessary to press the mosaic tile to the surface, for this you can use a special roller. Now the next tile is stacked, while it is necessary to clean the connecting seam from glue. When laying mosaic tiles, it is important to monitor that they coincide in the level of the seams and so that none of the tiles failed. Everything should be harmonious. Naturally, it is necessary to make sure that each tile fixed on the glue.
So, when mosaic It will be laid on the main area, it is necessary to wait about a day so that the glue hardened and mosaic "sat down", after which you can start laying the remaining side edges and corners.
The last stage - grout. It is necessary to start it after the day after laying a mosaic. First, the connecting seams and sections of the mosaic on which the glue remains is cleaned with a wet sponge. After that, the rubber spatula is neatly applied to the grout, the surplus is removed.
