Methods of installing porcelain in architecture
Installing porcelain requires skill and precision to ensure a perfect result. The appropriate glue color must be chosen to avoid color differences between the board and the glue. In addition, you must ensure that the surface is level and clean before starting the installation process. It is preferable to use high-quality adhesives to ensure a safe and permanent installation of porcelain panels.
