Here are some things you need to consider when buying ceramic tile, the first one to do is to accurately calculate how many tiles needed. If necessary draw a figure designed to help calculate in detail. Go to as many shops / outlets that have a display or a product catalog, because not every store / outlet has a complete catalog. The goal is to select the motifs that are suitable and desirable. In the purchase of ceramic products exaggerating the amount purchased (usually around 5%). These advantages as a backup during the installation process if there are broken tiles and also as a backup when there is damage in the future. Because sometimes for certain types or motifs limited stock. At the time of receipt of goods, make sure you buy the ceramic tile has the size and feel of a color code (tonality) the same. This is to ensure you get the tile that is relatively uniform.
Selection of Ceramic Types (based on the characteristics of the place where ceramic tile will be installed), it is very important to note the selection of ceramic tile types by considering the characteristics of the place where ceramic tile will be in pairs. For there is no one type of ceramic tile products that can be applied to all installations lkarakteristik place.
Ceramic Wall and Floor in Room Exterior, For installation on the exterior space, choose a type of ceramic that are resistant to weather changes. Ceramic type is characterized by low water absorption and are generally surface berglasur.
In areas that slippery characteristics, consideration should be the selection of ceramic anti-slip surface (not glossy / shiny). Types of porcelain tiles suitable possibility for this industrial area
Ceramic Floor in the Public Area, type of ceramic tile required is the type of ceramic tile berglasur / berglasur not a high degree of hardness, resistance to abrasion, fluids and chemicals. For high-gloss tiles (glossy) needs to be seen the quality glasurnya / kilapnya, because if the quality is low, there glasurnya in the not too distant kilapnya could disappear or damaged considering the number of people passing by stepping on the floor in the area.
Ceramic Floor in Interior House, Installation of ceramic floor tiles in the interior of the residence hall does not require type ceramics with superior strength. For an acceptable load floor is not too heavy and the level of occupant mobility is not too dense. Only at certain places may need special attention, such as around the entrance / exit, on the stairs, kitchen and bathroom.
The area around the entrance / exit to get a heavier burden than other parts of the house. Therefore, a strong type of ceramic floor tiles, compact and thick, should be considered. To be easily cleaned, given the dirt from outside the home often brought in, ceramic floor glossy / semi-glossy sheen or could be an option.
For ceramic tiles on the steps recommended the selection of ceramic that are not slippery, for motives that ceramics with relief / texture of the surface could be an option. Or accessories can be selected also ceramic tiles that are specifically for incorporation in the stairs, called bullnose and stepnose. On the surface there is a granule-granule anti-slip effect.
Outdoor kitchens in addition to using the ceramic floor tiles are also using the wall. In this space needed floor resistant ceramic materials (liquid) dye, acid-base and fat. So scattered materials for cooking which fell to the floor easier to clean and does not damage the ceramic floor. For ceramic tile walls and glossy berglasur suggested that having a high resistance to high temperature, sparks fats, acids and bases.
Ceramic floor in the bathroom is usually small and brightly colored. This is to create an impression on the spacious bathrooms are generally not too large. Types of ceramic tiles is chosen berglasur with texture on its surface, so it does not slippery when wet and easily cleaned. Ceramic walls are also commonly used for bathrooms, the type of ceramic walls berglasur, burnish resistant to chemicals and easily cleaned.
In early development, the installation of ceramic tile in the bathroom is limited and sometimes on the porch. But at this installation have been found in almost every part of the room. Here we describe the places where you can install ceramic tile.
Floor
Ceramic tile floors are very commonly used. Various features in the installation of its support, including physical strength, endurance color, and easy to clean.
Installation of ceramic floor tiles to create an impression can also be decorative. Depending on the type of ceramic floor tiles you choose, you can create different atmosphere in the room.
Wall
The use of ceramic wall in the living room, dining room or work space will provide the specific background of other furniture. Colors and patterns of ceramic wall must be adjusted with the color and style of the floor.
Bathroom

Kitchen
Ceramic surfaces resistant to scratches and also resists hot knife (the fire). So that the installation of ceramic tile in the living room where the stove cooking and it does not matter. Oil, grease, and other impurities are also easy to clean. Besides the installation of ceramic tile in kitchens can eliminate the atmosphere which seemed bleak and obsolete.
The fireplace stove
At home there houses a fireplace, ceramic tile installation is already commonly used. Because ceramic is processed with high temperature combustion, the heat of the fire in the fireplace does not damage the tiles. On the other hand because the ceramic does not burn a fire, the fire hazard can be minimized.
Stairs and stair
Staircase is often the fastest part of the building suffered damage, because the beam is relatively narrow and is used relatively frequently. Installation of ceramic tile on the stairs would extend their age.
However it should be noted that the choice of ceramic tile installed, let the selected type of ceramic which has anti-slip texture. In general that ceramic tile can be installed in almost all parts of the room. In addition to having a functional role, ceramic tile also has the role of aesthetics.
Simple Way to Make Distance NAT
Common way used to determine / set the distance with a plastic spacer nat is that many are sold in stores ceramics. Vary in size, provide many options to determine the width nat. Plastic spacer is placed as well as in illustration 1 (above), can be removed and reassembled young. Its use is very flexible.
Another way to determine the width of grout is to use a wooden marker. Width nat marked with a pencil or something else. Use this way once but flexible in its application may be more difficult.
Above ways are usually used to determine the width of grout in ceramic tile floor. But can also be used for wall tiles. When the plastic spacer is not available, the installation of wall tiles are usually used nails to a uniform width of nat. Installation of ceramic wall flow patterns can be created using a customized stretch rope with a width / length of the tile (illustration 3).
Set with Ceramic Floor Space Area
Many ceramic floor installation purposes, among others, adds floor strength, ease of maintenance and cleanliness of the floor, and decorating the room (floor). In addition to these functions, the effect was the installation of floor tiles can also bring a certain atmosphere in the room, depending on the type and style of ceramic is selected.
Color tiles, pattern / motif, and installation design can be used to produce or regulate the appearance of the living space. Here are some tips about it.

Placement of furniture should also be adjusted with the installation of ceramic floor pattern.
Basic Technique Tiles Making Forms
Make a side barrier Tiles
On installation of ceramic floor sometimes we have difficulty in meeting the floor with the walls. For the average attendance areas, not forming grooves or a certain angle, we do not experience many difficulties. Maybe we just live in accordance with a width cut the remaining tiles are not installed ceramic. If the wall has an uneven shape, shaped indentations, or forming a certain angle, it needs special equipment and specific techniques to perform the installation.
Create irregular shape
To make a piece of tile with suitable forms of boundary / wall that is not uniform, use standard tools (contour gauge). Then after we get the form of relief, describe these forms to the surface of the tile and then the tiles are cut to shape.
Creating forms with a certain angle tile
To form the tiles with a certain angle (not 90 °), can be done with the help of the T-bevel. Synchronize large angle at the boundary / wall with a T-bevel angle and then draw it on the tile. Then the tiles can be cut according to drawing.
Cutting Ceramic Tiles
Cutting tile is often done, other than to obtain appropriate forms of design are also made to facilitate the erection, in view of the tile connection, a meeting with the walls, stairs, and so forth.
Straight cut
To cut the tiles with a straight cut, we need a ceramic cutting tools. Can also use a ruler straight and cutting blades of glass.
Make a hole in the middle of tile
For punching holes in the tile, the first to do is use a drilling machine (auger carpenters). Punch a hole through the desired section, then suppose that we want to make a hole with a specific design form we can use a hacksaw / metal. Then cut to the desired shape.
Creating forms with small pieces
To create a form with small pieces can be used tweezers (parrot). You do this by first making a pattern on the surface of the tile. Then, with pliers, a little cut to follow a pattern. Cuts should be a little bit because if you cut straight major, will usually cause gompel or pieces that came out of the desired pattern and whether or not the cuts are not smooth.
There are several steps that must be done before and after the installation. Let us together follow the rules, hopefully with a few of these tips can help us in installing tiles with a good and true.
1. Soak the tiles in water. This will make the ceramics become more elastic and at the time of installation can be easily attached.
2. Notice the quality of ceramics. If he ceramic kw 1 then there is no problem, but if he is 2 or 3 kw will be hard put to precision. To that should be loose grout ceramic because each has a difference 0,2-0,5 mm ceramic. Until the ceramic does not collide with each other.
3. Apply the cement water. Bilaskan cement was mixed with a little water to the bottom of the ceramic, it will make the power of sticking to a ceramic mortar really sticky.
4. Clean the gravel. Mortar and ground floors are to be installed must be clean of gravel, stones or other obstacles-obstacles that will make a cavity under the tiles.
5. Padatkan on average. Tap the newly installed ceramic tile and make sure nothing is hollow or the bottom of the hollow. Because he will make a loose tiles in the future. Check if the height is equal to the yarn which was drawn to determine the height of the floor.
6. Nat tiles were installed later. Do not install the ocher cement or grout on the ceramic side of the spot. Leave it for 2 or 3 day. This will make the rest of the air that will settle out through the grout that has not been closed. Having given it a new cement grout and do not forget to clean the grout is still empty of dirt that settles.
7. Do not be trampled upon. Secure the newly installed ceramic area from people passing by during the 2-3 days. Ceramic sinkhole because the mortar underneath will still not strong enough to bear.
8. Check back. In an area the size of the installation of 3 x 3 m usually there is a hollow ceramic 3-5. In order to dismantle it immediately and repeat the installation of cerami
