• Check whether the lines form a right angle
  Laying square tiles in a square or rectangular room, is a bit tough. But laying square tiles in a circular room, or laying tiles in the corner of the room, is tougher. You have to cut the tiles properly, the measure should be correct, they should be laid properly, otherwise the tiles will be wasted.Sounds difficult, right? But do not worry, because here are some easy tips following which you will help you know how to lay tile diagonally easily. Laying Tiles Diagonally When it comes to laying tiles on concrete floor, many people face problems.
  
  Fitting a square tile in an oddly shaped room, is not everyone's cup of tea. Many call professionals to do this job and what do they do? They charge you a high amount. These tips will teach you how you can have a diagonal tile layout, which you can do all by yourself and also save the money that you would have spent behind the professionals. Get Shingle tiles Suppliers the Tiles The first thing that you have to do, during floor tile installation is decide beforehand the color and the design that you want and then buy it. Buy something that will suit the other objects, that is, the furniture, the wallpaper, etc.
  
  Do not have a situation where you will fix the tiles and then you will feel that the color is not going with the wall color. It will be foolish to remove the tiles again and then place a different set. You will be wasting your time, energy and money. Also, get enough tiles as some might break while fixing or some might be wasted while cutting off. Clean up the Floor Before moving forward with the diagonal tile layout, you have to clean up the floor on which you will lay the tiles. Make sure that the floor is leveled properly and Roofing Tiles Manufacturers if not, then do so. There should be no gaps on the floor. If you lay the tiles over a cracked floor, then later on, the tiles might break. Floor cleaning is an important step that you have to carry out before you know how to lay tiles diagonally. Clean the floor of the debris and oil. Make Plan The next thing that you have to do while learning how to lay tile diagonally, is plan how you want the diagonal tile layout. Chalk out a rough sketch and make a rough estimation as to how many tiles you need to have for the flooring Mark the Diagonal Tile Now it's time for you to lay the first tile diagonally. First, divide your room into four sections and then mark the center of the room. Join the center of the room with the center of the walls and then, join the corner of the walls to the center, making the whole thing look like an 'X'.
  
  Check whether the lines form a right angle or not and then mark a point which is 4 feet away from the center and which is along the cross lines. Then again, mark a point which is at least 3 feet away from the center along the intersecting lines. Now, join the two points and you will have a diagonal line. Repeat the same process till you have these diagonal lines in the entire area which you want to tile. Prepare the Mortar Now, let us come to the last step of laying tile diagonally. You have to prepare the mortar, and just like buttering a toast, you have to apply it behind the tiles. Some people also use adhesive instead of mortar. Even that will do, but so make sure that you do not apply the adhesive only at the corner of the tiles, but apply it evenly across the entire tile. Otherwise, while walking on the tiles, it might crack. After applying the mortar, place the tiles properly. If you feel that the way you have laid the tile is not right, then remove it immediately before the adhesive or the mortar sets and then re-apply it again, and then place the tile. Cutting Some Corners After you have placed all the tiles, let the adhesive or the mortar dry. Give it at least a day for the tiles to set.
  
  Then, using a diamond blade and making sure that you are wearing your safety glasses and face mask, mark the tiles that are to be cut, along the edges of the room. The tiles are to be cut at an angle of 45 degree. Some might also have to be cut at 90 degrees. This is due to the diagonal layout. Mix the Grouts Now all that is left is to fill the gaps between the two tiles. For this, you need grouts. Put it carefully in between the tiles and then wipe off the excess grout properly. This has to be done with the help of a wet cloth. The tiles might look hazy because of the excess grout. Remove it and they will be back to normal. There, now you know the steps of how to lay tile diagonally. Just follow the above steps and laying tiles will be much easier. No longer do you have to call professionals who will only charge you more. Learning to do it yourself, will also save your money and give you the satisfaction of having designed your flooring yourself.

• Self-Leveling underlayments used as concrete flooring
  Have you ever considered concrete or a concrete topping as a floor covering? For the most part floor coverings have always referred to carpet, tile, hardwood or some other surface commonly used to cover concrete sub floor materials.With the growth of interior decorative concrete finishes, we can now add concrete to the list of options of floor coverings for your next interior floor project. While most concrete floor coverings can be used both interior and exterior, for simplicity we will focus on interior flooring, especially since this is where a vast majority of these materials end up being used.

  Textured Concrete Floor Coverings, also known as stampable overlays, are designed for one purpose, and one purpose only – to provide a textured surface similar Roofing Tiles Manufacturers to stone, tile, brick, wood, or other natural material. These stampable overlay systems typically range in thickness from ¼ inch to 5/8 inch. The common thickness is 3/8 inch, which is usually thick enough to accommodate most standard imprinting tools in the market place. Stampable overlay systems are designed to be applied with a gauge rake, quick trowel smoothed, and then imprinted with the desired texture or stamp tool. Either a powder or liquid release material can be used, depending on the final look and/or color scheme that is desired. These materials cure in 24 hours, and can usually be sealed and light traffic allowed within 36 hours after application. The single most important factor with any stampable overlay application is surface preparation. The surface needs to have sufficient profile (be rough enough) so that the overlay material can bond both chemically and mechanically. I always recommend a mechanical grinding or profiling of the floor, as this will always provide better profile versus an acid etch or other means of chemical surface profiling. If you are looking for a 3-dimensional textured floor covering that resembles most any natural material (stone, tile, wood, etc.) consider a stampable overlay on your next project. Back to Top

  Thin Section / Microtoppings are thinner versions of their cousins the stampable overlay. They utilize "beefed up" polymers that allow the material to go down very thin and yet maintain strength, durability and abrasion resistance. They range in thickness from 1/32 inch up to 1/8 inch thick. They are easily applied with trowels, squeegees, brushes, and or rollers, all depending on the final look that is desired. Most microtopping systems offer a base coat, which contains sand, and is used in the first two applications. Some systems offer a finish coat, which contains no sand, and is used only when an ultra smooth top or final surface is specified. Because these materials are so thin and dry very quickly, texture is limited to how the products are applied. Some typical finishes for Microtopping floor coverings include, but are not limited to smooth trowel, rough trowel, stippled, and orange peel. Like stampable overlays, these systems cure in 24 hours, and are usually ready for foot traffic within 36 hours of application. Another common microtopping finish involves coming back 24 hours after application and applying concrete stains or dyes to create a stained concrete appearance. This is a very popular finish for residential and small commercial spaces. It is important to seal microtopping finishes, as they are micro porous and will tend to collect dirt that is difficult to remove once embedded into the material. Check with the manufacturer of the microtopping system you are using as to what sealers (water or solvent or both) are best suited for that particular application. Back to Top

  Spray Applied or Stenciled Concrete floor coverings are not as popular for interior finishes or coverings, but have been around for decades for exterior coverings for pool decks, and patios. In recent years we have seen these types of finishes become more popular in high traffic interior spaces because of their durability, low cost, ease of application, and range of patterns and colors. They are very similar to Microtopping type finishes in that they are thin, but differ in that they usually contain more sand, and provide a rougher, grittier finish. These types of materials are usually applied through a hopper gun under pressure. A fist scratch or "grout coat" is applied. Once the first coat is dry, adhesive backed stencils are laid out over the floor. A second color or wear coat is spray applied over the stencil, and once dry the stencil is peeled up and discarded. The type of finish (knock down, orange peel, smooth) all depends on the spray pattern and method of spray application. Either a clear or colored sealer is then applied for maintenance and aesthetics.

  Self-Leveling underlayments used as concrete flooring is the newest trend in concrete floor coverings. Self-leveling concrete has been a staple for repair and leveling of damaged or worn concrete. Until recently, another solid surface floor covering would be placed on top of the self-leveling material. In the last few years contractors have started adding integral color to self-leveling systems, or coming back after 24 hours and using stains, dyes or tints to create colorful floors. The advantage of a self-leveling system is that it can correct uneven floors, repair damaged floors, and at the same time provide a very dense smooth and durable concrete floor. Self-leveling concrete can be expensive, and does require a higher level of proficiency than the microtopping and spray texture products. Surface preparation, once again, becomes very critical with self-leveling systems. Most self-levelers can go down 1/4 inch to 1 inch, with the ability to go to a feather edge.
