How to style your mosaic? We make an apron kitchen area.

If you are going to move into a new apartment, there was a question about the kitchen renovation. Always wanted to be in the kitchen apron is made of small mosaic. I think it's a classic. It looks stylish, aesthetically pleasing and modern. All work performed on their own, so I had to thoroughly examine all the nuances of this process. At first it was scary to think that every element will have to spread apart. But, as it turned out, modern methods greatly simplify the job - can be laid mosaic ready matrices.

Matrices are squares with a base of cloth or paper on which predetermined printed tile modules with correct distances. It is important to know that the mosaic on paper base paper glued to the outside, and vice versa grid attached to a wall, mosaic in this case is directly facing outwardly, and further strengthens the grid surface.

Having studied Building codes and information, it became clear that at a laying it is important to comply with certain requirements, prepare the surface and pick up the right to

lei basis. There are several options with different composition and cost. Need to rely on financial resources and type of mosaic, which you have chosen. For example, it is possible to independently produce mortar or buy a ready-made tile adhesive. I chose a more expensive, but in my opinion, the most high-quality and practical option - bought ready-adhesive composition based on acrylic. Hardens, it remains white or transparent. Applied to its wall thickness must of 1-2 mm. He dries quickly, so you can start to operate the kitchen faster than working with cement.

Preparing the wall plays an important role. Before you start, be sure to check the quality of plaster. To lay the mosaic needed on a flat wall. Each irregularity will be very evident. Apply a precoat layer on the wall and after its drying to proceed markup measuring out the dimensions of the matrices. The layout is recommended to start from the top. Be sure to use a level so as not to get the curvature.

I started to lay the mosaic on marked lines from the center to the corners of the bottom up, as I recommend starting with those areas that catch the eye. In any case it is impossible to press the matrix hands and apply pressure on them, this will lead to irregularities. Use a soft or rubber roller, evenly smoothing tile. So, a small wall surface is applied to the adhesive selected and the finished matrix with a mosaic of carefully laid out on the drawn by the markup. Despite the fact that the layout is already done, check each lined with a number of levels.

After completion of the mosaic installation is necessary to wipe the seams and surface planer special grout, purchased in advance at the hardware store.
