Summary of "Curso de Albañileria - 12 - Revestimiento"

This video tutorial covers the technique for applying wall coatings and tiling, focusing on the tools, preparation, cutting, placement, and finishing processes involved in tiling walls.

Main Ideas and Concepts

1. Introduction to Tools for Tiling and Plastering:
   • Ceramic cutting machine
   • Carbide pencil (diamond tip)
   • Trowel
   • Bucket
   • Spoon and ladle
   • Plaster dryer
   • Square
   • Rubber hammer
   • Tile meter
   • Glass bottle (used for marking)
   • Drill (for tile perforation)
2. Understanding Tile Types and Usage:
   • Tiles have symbols on their boxes indicating their resistance and appropriate use:
     • Light traffic (e.g., bedroom) — symbolized by a slipper or woman's shoe.
     • Normal traffic (e.g., kitchen, living room) — symbolized by a man's shoe.
     • Heavy traffic (e.g., commercial premises) — symbolized by a boot.
     • Wall tiles have specific symbols and should only be used on walls, not floors or bathrooms.
   • Importance of selecting the correct tile based on traffic and location.
3. Tile Cutting Techniques:
   • Using the Ceramic cutting machine:
     • Measure and mark the tile.
     • Align the mark with the machine’s guide.
     • Use the diamond tip to score and then break the tile.
   • Using the Carbide pencil:
     • Mark the tile with a square.
     • Score along the mark with the diamond tip.
   • Using a drill with adjustable diameter:
     • Mark the center for circular holes.
     • Drill carefully to avoid tile damage.
   • Manual cutting technique (without power tools):
     • Use a diamond-tipped pencil and flat part to chip and finish the cut.
     • Effective when power tools are unavailable.
4. Marking for Pipes and Openings:
   • Use a glass bottle and Carbide pencil to mark pipe locations.
   • Chip away carefully to create holes for pipes.
5. Wall Preparation and Tile Placement:
   • Use a ruler and hook nails to create a level guide line on the wall.
   • Check level using a Spirit level.
   • Prepare Waterproof adhesive:
     • Mix water gradually with the adhesive powder in a bucket.
     • Let it rest for about 10 minutes.
     • Ensure no lumps; the adhesive should hold its shape when turned over with a spoon.
   • Tile mixing technique:
     • Mix tiles from different boxes before installation to avoid color or batch inconsistencies.
   • Application of adhesive:
     • Load the Trowel and spread adhesive on the wall with minimal angle to maintain thickness.
   • Tile placement:
     • Place tiles gently using a rubber mallet for soft taps.
     • Keep tiles aligned in rows and columns.
     • Continue placing subsequent rows while maintaining alignment.
6. Grouting and Finishing:
   • Use putty (pastina) matching tile color for filling joints.
   • Mix putty with water to a smooth consistency.
   • Apply putty with a spatula or similar tool, pressing it into joints.
   • Avoid letting putty dry on tile surfaces to ease cleaning.
   • Clean joints carefully after putty sets.
7. Final Remarks:
   • The video concludes by summarizing the tile laying and plastering technique.
   • Emphasizes the importance of preparation, correct tool use, and finishing for a professional result.

Methodology / Step-by-Step Instructions for Tiling

• Tools Preparation: Gather all necessary tools (cutting machine, pencil, Trowel, bucket, etc.).
• Tile Selection: Check tile box symbols for appropriate use.
• Cutting Tiles: Measure and mark tiles. Use cutting machine or Carbide pencil to score tiles. For holes, use drill or manual chipping.
• Wall Preparation: Set a level guide line with ruler and hook nails.
• Adhesive Preparation: Mix Waterproof adhesive with water. Let rest 10 minutes. Check consistency.
• Tile Mixing: Mix tiles from different boxes to avoid batch color differences.
• Adhesive Application: Spread adhesive evenly on wall with Trowel.
• Tile Placement: Place tiles gently, tapping with rubber mallet. Keep alignment consistent.
• Grouting: Mix putty with water. Fill joints with putty. Clean tiles before putty dries completely.
• Final Cleaning and Inspection: Ensure joints are smooth and tiles are firmly attached.
