Everyone knows that Chinese porcelain tiles are laid exclusively on a flat solid surface. In addition, the base itself should be strong, and not break off, because all the work will be in vain. But, various materials can be the basis, because, today, the choice of ceramic tiles, solution, mixture, and fibers, so wide spectrum that it is necessary to figure it out, not everyone is given, .
Laying tiles on paint is an alluring maneuver that is known to many people who made repairs on their own. Experts advise, remove the old coating, before laying a new ceramic tile. This can be done using a construction special hair dryer, a mechanical method, or apply the “liquidator” of paint. After this process, a concrete wall is obtained, which is the most suitable option.
However, if the paint is quite high quality, and is held tight, then you can not completely remove it. Because the surface of the base itself should be with roughnesses, or on the surface of the wall, it will be necessary to make small notches. This process is not complicated. It is performed using a shock drill, or perforator. The notches are carved from each other by two centimeters, but no more. Then, dust must be removed from the wall surface, and thoroughly primed. And only, after that, you can lay ceramic tiles. Of course, this is performed only after the smoothness of the surface is tested.
