WALL RECOVERING WITH PORCELAIN TILES

Installation of tiles is done by an expert on the internal and external surfaces of a building. The process consists of setting tiles that match the technical and artistic aspects, and the decoration of the structure.
The installation may be done in one of two fashions:
- Conventional (on finished plaster)
- Sticky putty (on finished or bare plaster)
When installing the tiles, the installer should use rubber gloves, safety glasses, and other safety equipment, when necessary.

Important Recommendations
1 - Plaster: avoid using grit, sandy or otherwise, in plaster.
2 - Joints: ABNT recommends placing joints o external walls, with an area greater than 24 m2 or whenever the side is larger than 6 m; and on internal walls where the area is greater than 32 m2, or whenever the side is larger than 8 m.
