He called tiling and floor coverings to horizontal surfaces such as outdoor soil: terraces, balconies, patios, galleries, access to homes, as well as interior floors in kitchens, bathrooms, etc ...
In the market there are a variety of materials, colors, textures and finishes for floor coverings rigid discontinuous, in general, could be classified as follows: Porous
- tile and terrazzo is semi
- Compact
stoneware - pottery and porcelain
Vitrified - glass mosaic (tile)
In general we can divide materials into two groups :
A. Terrazzo Flooring (hydro), natural and artificial stone
These types of pavement are placed in areas of high traffic or wear.
natural stone pavements are mainly used outdoors by its resistance to changes in temperature and weather (for This rough stones are used, such as quartzite). For terraces, balconies, patios and exterior is essential to consider the slab or screed to the required slope (2%) to sinks for proper water drainage and prevent leakage.
The finest stones (such as granite and marble) are used indoors, although preferably not in bathrooms or kitchens because of its poor resistance to oils and acids. It should be noted that grinding and polishing the surface after grouting the pieces.
B. Pottery and porcelain floors
Its use is ideal for interior flooring, especially in bathrooms, toilets and kitchens. Ceramic materials have a high degree of impermeability and great hygienic properties as they are not being overly porous do not allow dirt to penetrate.
I would highlight the importance of choosing a good "picture and combination of parts" when placing soils. If we think of the most common parts on the market (rectangular and square) distributions could be:
A board run - both along and across the width (in both senses of the parts) the boards have no break (Photo 1) .
A break together - in this placement will only run on the board in a sense of piece (Photo 2) .
herringbone - its use is only possible in rectangular pieces as in any sense of continuity is board (Photo 3) .
not forget that it is essential to an assessment of the state that is the basis of the area to cover, so whether we should do:
- thin layer placement > Using this technique only in cases in which the base is flattened and anivelada
- thick placement> in case of irregularities of the base exceeding 5 mm.
also worth remembering that all floors combined with milk quality (see my article on boradas and milk) with proper placement and mastery of different techniques, materials, finishes, etc are a great result immune to the passage of years.
