A new house needs to be installed with path breaking tiles and furniture. A planned layout and effective installation plays a crucial role in realizing the projects. People invest huge sum while purchasing the articles and placing them at the appropriate area. However, one needs to be really cautious while installing floor tiles in their homes.
There are few things that should be kept in mind in order to achieve an unparalleled look.
1 Firstly, prepare a rough layout of the tiling pattern. Take a paper and pen to draw an imitation of the floor tiles. Don't forget to measure the dimensions of the tiling surface. After calculating the area, chalk out a rough idea about the number of tiles required for the project. This ensures that you don't purchase tiles and hamper your modest budget.
2 You should make sure that the tile surface is neat and clean. You can cement the floor to create an even base. This ensures that the floor tiles do not break or get chipped after the installation process. You can also use plywood on the surface and start installing on them.
3 You should clean the water, oil or dirt spills on the surface before installation. This strengthens the cohesive force between the tiles and the surface.
4 You should start the installation from the center of the room. Place a pattern at the center and proceed towards the walls.
5 If the tiles are small in size, then cut them with help of a tile cutter. You can also call a professional for the purpose, if you want finesse in the layout.
6 And most importantly, don't forget to seal the joints between the tiles. This makes sure that no dirt or stains get trapped on the floor tiles surface.
So, follow these simple instructions and get perfection in your floor tile layout.
