Tools Required: Notched trowel, small trowel, trowel, level, glue, plastic crosses, corner (plastic corner molding), sponge, square. If you have to cut the tiles, but there is no tile cutter, you can use a glass cutter or grinder with a special circle. Drill holes for the wires with a special drill too.

Before laying new tiles, you need to see the article on how to knock down old tiles. This will require a hammer and chisel. Carefully remove the old glue or mortar from the wall surface, on which the tiles were laid. Next, level the surface of the wall. It is best to work with gloves and glasses to avoid various injuries.

When plastering the wall with Rodband or Volmo, be sure to let the solution dry and then apply a layer of waterproofing.

Notches should be applied to the wall to increase the area of the glued surfaces. If the tile is laid from the floor, it is necessary to check its level, if not, then a base is prepared under the tile. For this purpose, we fasten a long wooden board to the wall with self-tapping screws, it must be screwed strictly horizontally (it is verified by level). You can use a rule attached to the wall.

Glue is mixed, but not much (it hardens quickly). Tiling on the wall starts from the corner. In the corner, a molding is attached to the wall, tiles are recessed into its grooves. The glue is applied to the wall or tile (as it is convenient for anyone) It is leveled with a notched trowel so that the entire wall surface prepared for the tiles is evenly smeared. It is recommended to soak the tiles in water for a couple of hours before laying to increase the adhesion of the adhesive. The first tile is laid starting from the lowest row. It needs to be lightly pressed against the wall and turned from side to side. Each tile laid should be checked with a square and a level. The laid tiles should be wiped with a wet sponge, otherwise the adhesive will dry out and be difficult to remove. The next tile is also laid and verified. The recommended thickness of the glue layer is no more than 0.5 cm. Plastic crosses are inserted between the tiles - this will ensure equal distances between the tiles. So the bottom row is laid out, and then the next. Calculate the amount of tile adhesive online.

Each laid out row is checked again by the level. After laying all the tiles, wipe it again with a damp sponge. After a day or two, you can remove the guides (the base of the tile). Plastic crosses are also removed, and the seams are smeared. For this, a special grout is used, which is diluted with water until smooth. Then, a rubber spatula is used to seal the seams. After the grout has slightly grabbed, jointing is done. Calculator of the number of tiles to calculate online.
