Is the floor tile laid horizontally or vertically?

Whether rectangular floor tiles are laid horizontally or vertically depends on the principles such as the layout of the house:

1, according to the direction of the window, laid in the light. Because it is laid along the light, it is easier to see the sense of vertical extension; If the floor is laid horizontally, it is easier to see that the floor feels like a wave, and it will feel a little distorted visually.

2, according to the shape of space, along the long side. Long corridors should be arched, because if the floor is arched, people in the middle of the corridor will not trip. The rectangular living room should be laid along the long side, which also gives the space a sense of extension.

3. If there is a main direction, lay it in the main direction. Pave independently without direction. If the living room is paved, it is necessary to determine the laying direction according to the above two principles, and other rooms should be laid in the same direction as the living room. If the living room is not paved, the direction of the dining room shall prevail, and other rooms shall be paved in the same direction. If the restaurant is not paved, then each room can be paved independently, without the need for the same direction.

In the past, many houses were transparent from north to south, and the light either came in from the south window or from the north window. So most of them are north-south shops, and it has become a habit over time. But because the orientation of the house is different now, the laying methods you can choose are also diverse.

Precautions for floor tile laying:

1. Generally, the stones used in indoor floors are polished plates with a thickness of about 20mm. At present, there are also thin plates with a thickness of about 10mm, which are suitable for home decoration. Each piece is 300mm× 300mm ~ 500mm× 500mm. It can be paved with thin plates and 1: 2 cement mortar mixed with 107 glue.

2, cleaning the grass-roots ground, cement mortar leveling, elevation, elastic line, material selection, plate soaking wet, installation of standard blocks, paving cement mortar, paving stone, joint filling, cleaning, maintenance and completion.

3. The grass-roots treatment should be clean, and the uneven places should be repaired first. The base should be clean and free of mortar, especially lime mortar and oil stains. The ground should be wetted with water. When paving stone and porcelain bricks, standard blocks must be placed, which should be placed at the intersection of cross lines and installed diagonally.

4. The shop is stuck, each row should be hung in turn, stone must be soaked, wipe the back after drying. The maintenance of stone and tile floor after paving is very important. After 24 hours of installation, it must be watered and maintained. After the towel is laid, it must be covered with sawdust for maintenance.

5, before the shop is stuck, try to spell plate, flower, color, number, make the laying of the ground color is consistent. Stones must be soaked in water and dried in the shade. So as not to affect its condensation and hardening, empty drum, shell and other problems, after the completion of the shop is stuck, no one can be here within 2 ~ 3 days.
