Traditional process

Tips

Paving method has its own advantages and disadvantages

Traditional paving material quality is difficult to control, the quality of cement, sand coarseness and fineness and mud content is difficult to control. Cement mortar in the proportioning process, whether the proportion is reasonable, whether the amount of material in place, whether the mixing is uniform will affect the quality of cement mortar, resulting in plastering and bricklaying quality problems. The operation requires higher craftsmanship of workers, but the cost is lower.

The material of the thin paste method is tile binder, which can be used by mixing water directly, and the quality standard is easy to control and the bond strength is high. Workers easy to operate, paving efficiency is greatly improved. But the thin paste method needs to be leveled on the wall first, more than cement mortar brick paving process, this part of the labor cost is higher; In addition, when the flat price, the cost of tile binder is much higher than ordinary cement mortar.

Paving tile preparation stage

The first step of grass-roots inspection and treatment

Different grass-roots walls are treated differently. Shear wall, i.e. reinforced concrete cast-in-place wall, this kind of wall needs surface chiseling treatment. Dongyi Risheng Engineering Manager Wang Yan introduced, due to the surface of more film release agent, easy to cause the wall and plaster and leveling layer of the drum problem; if it is a masonry plaster wall, we have to judge the surface of the wall plaster layer is not drum, if the drum should be repaired first; if it is a lightweight partition wall, you need to rely on the wall's firmness, it is recommended to do the mesh processing, one to ensure the strength of the second to prevent cracking.

The second step of pulling hair treatment
