Storefront Renovation of a Mini Market (Part 1 of 1)

Materials used: 12″ x 12″ ceramic, powder plaster mix, 5/8″ plexiglass panels, polished aluminum L-Shapes, oil-based paint (gray and green), white colored grout, 1/2″ rubber window frame and 1/2″ x 8′ wood board.

Step 1: Attach wood boards to the existing wall along the desired area with a 0 degree angle. This will allow the ceramic to rest and avoid any vertical movement.

Step 2: Using a grinder and a concrete disc mounted to it, create lines all around the space where the ceramic will be applied. This will allow the plaster to penetrate through the concrete wall and as a result, the ceramics will be held in a stronger manner.

Step 3: Mix the powder plaster with water and start applying it to the wall. Then, pass the spatula through the plaster leaving an uniform thickness of material.

Step 4: Mount one ceramic after the other.

Step 5: With an sponge, apply the white colored grout. Then, wait 30 minutes so that you can proceed to remove the grout with the application of water

Step 6: Put aluminum L-shapes in every corner. This will cover the intersections between two ends of the ceramic.
