Fixtures for high-speed tile laying without crosses. An example of Turkish tiles
There are objects where, when laying tiles, it is not the ideal quality that is important, but the speed of work with optimal quality. For example, decoration of office or retail space.
It would seem, how can you increase the speed of the tile worker? The first is the use of glue carriages. Such a carriage can be assembled in literally 20 minutes from an aluminum rule and a spatula (second slide):
Or buy a ready-made one. I wrote about these options here. We applied glue, ran the carriage along the floor - we lay the tiles. The working time for applying glue is reduced by 2-3 times. But there is another way that will shorten the time of working with the tiles themselves. Moreover, the tiles do not need crosses:
The frame is made of a metal corner and a pre-tensioned wire with a diameter of 3 mm is welded to its bottom. Welded with cells to fit the size of the tile. For example, 30x30 cm. The installation process itself is shown in a short video:
This technique is used on-site by workers from Turkey. And judging by the speed of work, three workers are capable of laying at least 300 m2 of tiles per shift. Another close-up tiling roller:
After the glue has set, it will remain to wipe the seams. In my opinion, an ingenious and simple device for those finishers who work on large objects. Well, to make the work even more comfortable and fast, you need this saddle with knee pads on rollers:
The cost is high - 16 thousand. rub. But you can do it yourself from the pipe (second slide). Bicycle saddle, roller-skating knee pads and furniture wheels are purchased. Another option is to purchase inexpensive knee pads on wheels in China:
Price for one piece. When ordering, specify two at once. Size: 29.5 * 22 * 8.8cm with options in three colors. Alternative link to aliexpress. Convenient device, relieves stress on the knees, it becomes easier to work. Some pictures of buyers:
All these devices together simplify the work of laying tiles and increase the speed of work. And for the speed, you can request an increased payment.
