We deal here with the steps of implementing the tiles of toilets and laundry rooms, where the walls are first washed with water to ensure the removal of dirt and oil stains, if any, etc. from all walls, as their survival affects the adhesion of the glue, the tiles are installed using glue as the walls were roughened during the implementation of the liasa, and the tiles can be installed for the walls using cement mix without the need to make the liasa for the walls and this method is not currently practiced, and installation using glue is the best.

Tile installation using glue is the best.

The tiler must determine the level of the floor tiles for bathrooms and laundry rooms for which waterproofing will be carried out, as the last tile is not installed in the wall from below until after completing the waterproofing work as will come later, and this is very important to ensure that the waterproofing is carried out This limits the rise of moisture from the water on the floor tiles when washing or when using the restroom, as many people suffer from the appearance of moisture on the walls surrounding the restrooms from below and this causes the paint on the walls to peel off.

It is advisable to determine the middle of the wall, to install the tiles starting from the middle to ensure that the tiles are equal at both ends of the wall, so that the size of the tiles in case they are cut is equal from the ends, and it is advisable to accurately raise the size of the walls and distribute the tiles well before starting implementation to ensure that the "waste" resulting from cutting is minimized as much as possible, as the tiles that were cut from them can be used in corners and non-viewing areas and this contributes to reducing "waste".

We can use the tiles that were cut from them in the corners and non-viewing areas and this contributes to reducing the "waste".

It is good for the back of the tiles to be grooved and rough to ensure good adhesion to the walls, and if you want to make partitions «walls» for the shower or chair area, these walls must be implemented and the work of the walls and the work of the tiles for them before starting the implementation of the tiles, so that the tiles can be installed, noting that the partitions for the shower and chair can be made using glass panels, luxan, glass bricks, especially in restrooms with medium and small spaces, as building walls, making them and making tiles occupy a fair amount of space.

The glue is mixed with pure water and it is advisable to use an electric mixer in the mixing process, until we get a homogeneous mixture with a thick consistency, and then the glue is spread directly on the wall using the specialized serrated ruler with an area not exceeding 1 m2 To avoid drying out the glue, when the tiles are «ceramic» and will be installed using the cement mixture, it is recommended to immerse the «ceramic» tiles in water for two days, provided that they are taken out of the water two hours before installation, as for the «porcelain» tiles, there is no need at all to immerse them in water.

It is necessary to provide the tiler with a plan showing the distribution of tiles for each wall separately, to ensure implementation as required, as it is difficult to stand with the tiler during the installation process to guide him all the time, and the preparation of plans contributes, God willing, to the distribution of tiles, decorations, and belts accurately, some types of tiles whose edges of the tile are not sharp, they require the installation of a cross The installation of a cross, which is "plastic crosses" that are available in several sizes and some types of tiles require the installation of large sizes of the cross as they contribute to the beauty of the tiles, "cross" is how "plastic crosses" are called among those working in the field of tile installation and building materials outlets, and there are types of tiles that are installed without a "cross" and these tiles are "laser cut", that is, their edges are sharp and at right angles.

When installing tiles in large sizes, this requires high professionalism in implementation, to avoid the appearance of drumming behind the tiles, which is the presence of gaps between the tile and the wall, it is also recommended to ensure that decorations and belts do not conflict with electrical boxes, as cutting with decorations and belts contributes to distorting their shape and affects their beauty, it is good that the installation of kitchen wall tiles matches the design of the kitchen cabinets, which assumes that the establishment of electrical and plumbing points for the kitchen was done according to this plan.

In the next episode, God willing, we will continue to talk about the installation of tiles for bathrooms and laundry rooms, noting that our reference in this series is the book Stages of Building Residential Villas.
