Putting tiles on the walls is much more difficult than on the floor. It is very important to put the tiles evenly here, since even a small shift will be very noticeable. Before laying tiles, you need to prepare the surface. The wall should be dry, even and smooth . First you need to check whether the walls are even. To do this, use a special rail. The wall should not deviate from the rail no more than 5 mm. Experts recommend priming the surface – this will increase the adhesion with glue, but this is not necessarily.
After that, we move on to the marking of the walls – this will give an idea of where the tile should be laid. Based on their experience, builders recommend this necessarily: this way you simplify the process of laying many times. And the marking must be made from the point marked on the wall. First we mark the lines vertically – it is worth doing very carefully with the help of a special ruler. To do this, you need to know the size of the entire wall and with the help of calculations to calculate this very point (and it is strongly recommended to do it by eye – it is better to spend time on marking than redistribution). And the ruler must be put so that the line is drawn strictly horizontally and at the same time passes through the point. With this, you can find out the exact number of tiles that you can put on the wall .
The styling must start strictly from the lower corner . The first tile must be put exactly in a corner. In order to put the tiles at exactly the same distance, make some special meter.
