When we begin to make repairs in an apartment, first of all we face the question - what material to choose for the finishing of walls and floor. The modern market offers a wide variety of building materials. But sometimes fashion trends do not meet the declared quality, and our choice is based on old proven options. If we talk about the finish of the floor in the kitchen or bathroom, ceramic tiles will be irreplaceable.
Tile is a universal raw material for finishing the floor. It has a number of irreplaceable qualities - strength, moisture resistance, and today's choice of different palettes, textures and structures, will make any interior refined and unique. The only drawback in the repair can be considered a high cost of finishing works. Not everyone expects to spend a certain amount, which is sometimes equated to the cost of a tile, on the services of workers. To save money, we suggest that you study the technology of laying ceramic tiles yourself.

Before the beginning of the description of step-by-step instructions for laying ceramic tiles on the floor, we will determine the materials and tools that we will need.
