In case of any holes or gaps additional cement is added to make the surface flat to receive the floor tiles. In many cases, the tiles are fixed with adhesives on the existing floor if the floor is suitable to carry the dead load of the tiles.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"padding-left: 20px;\">\n<li>\n<h4><strong>Getting the mortar ready<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once the floor is cleaned the starting tile is marked and located and the leveling of the floor surface is done.

Plastic spacers are used between the tiles so as to have even grout lines. The tiles are repeatedly cleaned with a sponge and water so that the cement does not deposit on the tiles.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"padding-left: 20px;\">\n<li>\n<h4><strong>Sealing the gaps<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After the laying of tiles is done the skirting is fixed on the wall. All the gaps in the floor tiles are filled with grouts resembling the color of the tiles or in contrast color. After grouting sealants are used to seal all the gaps.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"padding-left: 20px;\">\n<li>\n<h4><strong>Curling<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The tiles are then cleaned, finished, and ready to use.
