Not sure how to lay the first row of porcelain tiles? Josias Rodrigues, creator of the channel @JR Construções and ambassador of the channel @Obra é promessa, will teach you essential tips such as: ruler support, level, applying mortar to the pieces, fixing and spacing between them. You will need: Porcelain tiles: https://bit.ly/porcelanatos_obm ACII mortar: https://bit.ly/obm_argamassa Trowel: https://bit.ly/3aSqCMK Level: https://bit.ly/2XhPU2U Rubber hammer: https://bit.ly/34gV9RV Beater: https://bit.ly/2y0guCN To start, leave 2 cm at the top of the wall and, using a piece of the covering that will be used, mark the rows on the wall, from top to bottom. This way you ensure that the cuts will be at the bottom. After marking all the rows, you will find the height at which the first row will be. In this case, we will have a skirt finish, so the installation will not be flush with the skirting board. To level, you can use a manual or laser level. Once leveled, position the support ruler, positioning it and ensuring that it is in place supported by nails or ruler supports. If using nails, be careful not to hit the plumbing system. The row flush with the floor should only be installed after the floor. For the upper rows, start installing flush with the ruler. Use the following mix: approximately 5 liters of clean water and 1 bag of ACII mortar. Use a whisk to make the mixture homogeneous. If necessary, add more water and wait 10 minutes before using the mortar. Using the 8 mm notched trowel, apply the mortar to the back of the piece. Don't forget to clean the side of the piece. Apply the mortar to the wall as well and position the piece. Pay attention to the direction of the tiles, observing the arrow. Position the porcelain tile on the wall, vibrate it and tap it lightly with a rubber mallet. Apply the mortar for the next tile, remove the excess mortar on the sides and repeat the procedure. You can check the leveling of the tiles by touch or use levelers. Don't forget to position the spacers according to the manufacturer's recommendation. After laying, clean the tiles with a damp cloth before the mortar dries. Also remove the excess where the grout will be applied. Grouting can be done after 72 hours.
