We give instructions for gluing plaster tiles: from the selection of glue and preparation of different bases to the final finish.
Stone or brickwork in the interior look very winning. But natural materials in the interior are not always available. If still, I really want to apply such a designer reception, you can replace brick or natural stone on the facing of plaster. It is lightweight, quickly and simply mounted, softly imitates different materials. We will analyze in detail how to glue a plaster tile on the wall.

Selection of glue
The decorative plaster tile is a small plate with a relief surface and a smooth reverse side, which is applied to the adhesive mixture. To do this, use different types of glue.
Dry mixes
May be based on seeds or plaster. The first option is more convenient in operation, but not recommended for light plates not treated with varnish. The cement composition dries longer, during this time the finish is overly sewn and can be deformed. The mixture with plaster dries faster, so when working with it requires certain skills.
It is best to choose the composition, the viability of which is the order of half an hour. Such glue is quickly grasped, do not need to hold the element for a long time. At the same time, if necessary, it is possible to correct the position of the part. Important moment: it is undesirable to make the mixture in the mixture. The manufacturer uses it in order to reduce the cost of the product, but it worsens his adhesion.
Liquid Nails
Polymer composition with high adhesion characteristics. There are two types of such adhesives. The first is made on the basis of polyurethane and acrylic copolymers. It is a non-toxic smell mastic, low moisture and frost resistance. Suitable for sticking porous elements. Glue on Neoprene has greater adhesion. But at the same time toxic, with a sharp smell. Reliably glue plates on any basis.
Gothic mastic based on plaster
Specially designed for laying plaster composition. The most expensive option, it is the most convenient. Mastic is rapidly settled, the plate is not necessary for a long time in place. Fully hardening in 24 hours. Surplus paste can be used to rub the seams. It is applied with a special spatula, which is invested in a package with a solution.
Property features for different foundations
Before you disassemble how to glue a plaster decorative tile, you need to find out what basis it needs to be laid. There are no special restrictions here, it is important that the base is dry, clean and even. With significant height drops, it is necessary to alay the foundation. We will analyze the features of working with different types of surfaces.Wood
Mandatory cleaning from the old coating. Any paint material is removed. The tree is cleaned, large defects are aligned. The basis is covered with an antiseptic and give a completely dry. If required, the surface is strengthened with glass cholester, after which they apply a layer of putty.
Plaster
Before glueing a tile on a plaster or other plaster, the old base is closed, remove poorly retaining fragments. If there are many of them, plastering the wall again. With a small amount of defects close by their repair mortar. Give to dry completely. The basis is cleaned with sandpaper and fully divened. It is not recommended to use cement mixtures in this case. Uniform materials are prone to peeling, as a result of which the finish will fall off.Plasterboard
Best Preparation Option - Fiberglass Laying and Surface Shock. This strengthens the base and does not allow it to absorb the excess moisture when sticking. If it is impossible, glue the facing right on the plasterboard. But in this case, only polymer adhesive compositions are chosen. They will quickly dry and do not contain a large amount of moisture. So the cardboard plane does not have time to be impregnated with liquid and soften during the gluing process.
Brickwork
If it is smooth, you can stick straight on the brick. Use any glue. But you must remember their features. The finished gypsum mastic is imposed with a subtle layer, which is not entirely convenient on the laying. The cement composition is not plastic, dries long. Perhaps the best choice will be one of the polymer solutions.
How to glue a plaster decorative tile on the wall
There are many variants of cladding schemes: with seam or without it, with a row displacement, diagonally or spiral. Before starting work, it is recommended to choose the way you like and make an exemplary layout on the floor. This will help properly lay out the decorative stone. Identify the layout scheme, you can start the main work. We will witness step by step, how to glue plaster tiles on the wall.1. Preparation
Features of the preparation of different types of foundations we have already disassembled. In any case, before mounting, the surface is once again cleaned of dust and ground. The composition is chosen according to the base type. Most often it is an acrylic primer. Works are performed according to the instructions on the packaging of the primer. There is also indicated the number of layers.
Before applying the next, it is always waiting for the previous one. At the end of the progress of the wall, they give a completely dry. The masters advise to be primed up and the opposite side of the tile. It closes the pores of the material. Therefore, reduce the flow of glue, will accelerate the setting with the basis.
Marking is performed in accordance with the selected layout. On the surface there are horizontal and vertical. For the accuracy of application, it is best to use a laser level, but you can do the usual. Taking into account the thickness of the seams and the size of the plate, the rows are planned. With further laying, focus on this markup.
2. Laying elements
Depending on the type of glue, the process can be slightly modified. We will analyze in detail how to glue the gypsum tile under the brick on the glue diluted from a dry mixture.
- In a clean capacity, we drag the dry mixture in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. We prepare a small portion to have time to use the whole until it hardens.
- We start from the bottom angle. We put the portion of the mixture on the wall, grow up with a toothed spatula. The plot prepared for laying should be enough for the installation of five elements, no more.
- Totchatper put the adhesive composition on the opposite side of the facing, grow apart.
- Focusing on the markup, apply the plate to the base, press. Gypsum fragile, so we press carefully. Otherwise, the element can break away.
- Check the position of the detail level. If necessary, it shifted it a bit, press again. Be sure to remove the surplus of the solution. If he fell on the front side of the plate, carefully consider all the traces of a wet sponge.
- Similarly, put the remaining elements of the series. So that the seams between them turn out to be smooth, insert plastic crosses.
- The next row lay out with the displacement to imitate brickwork. To do this, cut half or third parts. The easiest way to make it with a hacksaw, a manual saw or a grinder. Scroll is processed by sandpaper. The laying is carried out similarly to the first row, only first the cropped element is glued.
3. Final finish
After filling the entire surface, the finish is left to complete drying. In the final fill the seams by grouting or residues of adhesive mastic. It is best to do with a building syringe or a conventional plastic package with a cut edge. The mixture is applied to the device and squeezed out into the intercutant space. Equally distributed over it. The masters advise it to do it with a thin plate or cut in half, if we need a convex or concave seam.
After rubbing, they give a finish another time for complete drying. Not necessarily, but it is desirable to cover the lacquer decor. It will protect from moisture, dust and dirt. Significant lack of plaster - hygroscopicity. It absorbs water, turns and destroys. Therefore, the wet cleaning is not shown to him. Varnish helps to get rid of this shortage. If you wish, you can paint the plates before lacquering.
