2. When the PVC is now perfectly positioned, you can start tiling your floor. To do this, mix your tile adhesive as instructed. It is up to you whether you start laying from the middle of the room or from a corner. However, only apply as much adhesive to the floor as you can use in about 15 minutes, otherwise the adhesive will set too quickly.
3. The adhesive is applied to both the PVC and the tiles with a notched trowel. Then carefully place the tiles in the adhesive bed. It is best to work with a rubber mallet and a spirit level. You should also use spacers to ensure the exact spacing of the tiles. You can cut end pieces or sections with the tile cutter.
4. When you have laid the surface, let the whole thing dry well. Then the grout is mixed, applied with a rubber spatula and peeled off with a sponge board.
