Fixtures for quickly applying adhesive to tiles and floors. Factory model and DIY
Working with tiles and ceramic tiles is always a painstaking process. Needs accuracy and precision. To increase the speed of work, some finishers and self-builders make the following devices for applying glue to tiles:
It is done simply: a gutter is assembled from bars or pieces of a planed board and a notched trowel. You can use metal corners fixed on two bars. Push the tile under the trowel and the adhesive is applied quickly and evenly. Such a device will be especially convenient for narrow tiles and for large areas of finishing.
The assembly of such a device is shown in a short video:
You can do otherwise: apply the glue not to the tiles themselves, but directly to the floor. And not with a spatula, but also with a homemade carriage. The carriage will speed up the process, save time if the installation is carried out over large areas:
The carriage is made of thin plywood or aluminum plastering rule and a notched trowel. I put the glue inside, ran it across the floor and you're done. Even thin layer. It is only necessary to lay the tiles with the SVP (floor leveling system). We will talk about SVP options next time.
With a similar homemade carriage, I apply glue when laying aerated concrete, it is also very convenient, fast and without drips:
To apply glue to the floor when laying tiles in Italy, stainless steel carriages are produced:
Raimondi Colombo floor adhesive system. Dismountable and for different tile widths up to 66 cm. Heavy enough, 13.5 kg, and you do not have to press it to the floor. But the cost in Russia is space - 28,950 rubles.
Factory device for applying adhesive to tiles. The desired size is also set, for different tile widths.
I do not understand this: why does no one produce this in Russia (or place orders in China), on a similar design of the carriage and device? I have not seen such a tool in stores, and it is not available in online stores at an adequate price. The market for finishing works with tiles and tiles is huge, potential consumers - tens of thousands throughout the country. A free niche is obtained. Write in the comments at what price you would buy a carriage and a fixture for applying glue to tiles?
