Step 1:
The first important step is to make
a subbase. You should mark the areas, which are going to be used in this
process, and once the areas are marked, the next step is digging a depth, which
should be 150mm at least. Once the area is ready; then put hardcore to fill out
an area of 100mm, and two layers should be prepared to make it more compact.
For this purpose, a compacting machine can be used, which makes this process
easier to handle. You must understand, why sub base is needed, and the answer
is to establish a base, which is solid enough for the tiles so that tiles can
have stability and strength.
Step 2:
The second important step is the
bedding. The leveled-out bedding is needed to place the tiles in a proper
manner and this bed is prepared by using stranded cement and sand. You need to
prepare a wet mixture, which will have a combination of 3:1, which means 3
times the quantity of sand, and 1-time quantity of cement. If you want to know
what kind of sand and cement to use, then conduct some research before choosing
a particular one. Make sure that you don’t compromise on quality in this
regard. It is strongly advised that never use white cement and builder’s sand
for this bedding purpose, as it will not work. Once the mixture of sand and
cement is ready, apply it on the subbase.
Step 3:
The next crucial step in the process
is priming along with laying. You must keep in mind that before laying, it is
vital that porcelain slab’s each underside is coated with a primer, which is
slurry-based. It is important to know that porosity associated with porcelain
is lower as compared to other paving materials, so moisture will not be
absorbed by the tiles. Be careful while applying the primer that it should not
spill onto porcelain slabs’ face, because it is extremely difficult to remove
or even it may be impossible in some cases. The rubber mallet should be used to
tap the primed porcelain, as a hammer will not be a good option in this regard.
If any tile is not fitting into the actual shape, then the diamond blade can be
used to cut it for adjustment.
Step 4:
After completing the above three
steps, the tiles will be paved on the floor with actual design and
requirements, but these tiles will leave a gap between each other, which should
be filled so that tiles can be joint together. You can use a jointing compound,
which is specifically used for this purpose. This step is critical because it
will give a sleek and beautiful finish to the tiles. Do it slowly and
carefully, and once all the joints are filled, then wash the surface so to
clean any excessive compound on the tiles. The good thing is that you can
choose the color of your choice, which can be used for this compound. So, look
at the color of tiles, and select a color for a compound which fits well with
the color of tiles.
