Tiling is a craft that requires skill and precision, whether it's flooring or wall covering. To ensure quality work that lasts, it's important to follow a number of steps and techniques.

Surface preparation:

• Cleaning: The surface to which the tiles will be glued must be thoroughly cleaned, removing dirt, dust and grease.
• Alignment: If necessary, level the surface using mortar or other material to create a flat and smooth base for bonding.
• Primer: In some cases, it is recommended to apply a layer of primer to the surface to improve adhesion.

Choosing adhesives:

• Glue type: There are different types of tile adhesives, depending on the type of tile, the surface, and the work environment.
  • Cementitious adhesive: Suitable for most types of tiles and surfaces.
  • Acrylic glue: Suitable for smaller, lighter tiles, and straight, smooth surfaces.
  • Epoxy glue: Suitable for wet areas, such as bathrooms and kitchens.
• Amount of glue: It is important to use the correct amount of glue, to ensure a strong bond, but also to prevent excess from emerging between the tiles.

Gluing the tiles:

• Applying the glue: Apply the adhesive to the surface using a serrated trowel to create an even layer with grooves.
• Laying the tiles: The tiles should be placed on the adhesive, applying light pressure and gentle rotation.
• Intervals: Ensure equal spacing between the tiles, using spacers or a level.
• Alignment: Make sure the tiles are perfectly aligned, both horizontally and vertically.

• Cleaning: The gun residue must be cleaned from the tiles before it dries.

Additional tips:

• Use appropriate tools: Serrated spatula, rubber spatula, spacers, level.
• Work in an orderly and clean manner: Be sure to clean up the glue residue and gun in a timely manner.
• Consult a professional: If in doubt, it is recommended to consult a professional sequencer.

Remember, gluing tiles is a job that requires patience and precision. Following these steps and tips will ensure you get a quality result that will last for years.
