What to pay attention to the details of the tiles

Tile paving

Tile paving methods can be divided into two main types: thick paste method and thin paste method, which contains a thick paste method of tiles dry paving method and wet paving method.

Tile dry paving method (thick paste method)

Tile dry paving method is recommended for the paving of floor tiles using tile dry paving method, first of all, the grass-roots level need to be watered wet, and remove the grass-roots level of the floating sand and debris, wipe on the bonding layer. Then use the proportion of 1:3 dry cement mortar (thickness of 30 ~ 50mm), in accordance with the horizontal line paving, put the brick on the mortar with a rubber hammer vibration. Finally take down the ground brick pouring cement mortar (thickness should be 10 ~ 20mm), and then put the ground brick solid vibration level. Because of the dry cement mortar, less water, floor tiles and mortar is not easy to appear between the gap, so you can effectively avoid the phenomenon of tile drums, falling off.

Precautions: large tiles, rock slabs are not recommended to use this method of paving, due to the large tile area, dry cement mortar is more fluffy, resulting in the four corners of the tiles when pressed flatness is not easy to align, it is difficult to adjust the flatness of the tiles.

Tile wet paving method

With the dry paving method is different, tile wet paving method without watering wet grass-roots level, direct use of ordinary cement mortar, wipe on the back of the tiles to be paved, with a hammer to find the level. Wet paving method is commonly used in the wall, small size tile laying.

Tile thin paste method

Tile thin paste method directly on the ground in the leveling layer full of tile adhesive scraping tile paving method, such as the ground is not flat enough, need to be leveled first ground thin paste method is a new type of adhesive tiles originated in Germany process, the use of kneaded extruded solid positioning of the thousands of jobs pasting method. Decoration, the use of special tile adhesive and tooth scraper, in the construction of the base surface will be tile adhesive comb scraped into stripes (5mm thick), and then in order to paste the tiles in the mastic. Thin paste method using "tile adhesive + adhesive backing" method, because the adhesive is relying on the intermolecular force bonding, higher strength, bonding strength is 3-4 times the traditional mortar, and directly into the water can be used, and no longer need to be on-site proportioning of cement sand.

Multiple paving methods, in the end, which one is better, more practical it

Application space: dry paving method is mainly used in the living room, bedroom and other dry ground paving, and the kitchen and bathroom tiles are recommended to use the wet paving method or thin paste method

Application scope: dry paving method can not be applied to wall tiles paving, but the wet paving, thin paste method, can also be used to paste wall tiles, can also be used to paste wall tiles, can also be used to paste wall tiles, can also be used to paste the wall tiles, can also be used to paste the wall tiles. Both can paste wall tiles, can also paste floor tiles. It is worth noting that the dry paving method and wet paving method using the binder are cement mortar, and the Ministry of Housing and Construction has issued a document prohibiting this process for exterior wall brick paving.

Grass-roots requirements: dry paving method on the grass-roots requirements than the wet paving method is high, because dry paving mortar moisture, if the grass-roots level is not sufficiently wet, will absorb a lot of water in the mortar, so that the mortar and the grass-roots level of adhesion is not strong, and ultimately affect the effect of paving. In addition, the dry paving method of the grass-roots leveling requirements are low, so generally do not need to level the ground.

The wet paving method, thin paste law is the opposite, the level of grass-roots requirements are higher, which is the thin paste method is the most stringent, the grass-roots level can not appear loose, unevenness, in addition to the surface of the plaster error can not be more than 4 millimeters, otherwise it will increase the amount of tile adhesive.

Ground thickness: from the ground thickness, dry paving mortar thickness is relatively large, about 3-4cm; wet paving is directly take the cement smeared on the back of the tile, and then paved on the ground, can reduce the thickness of the ground; thin paste method of adhesive dosage is small, strong adhesion, the ground thickness is very thin. Therefore, from the thickness, dry paving method & gt; wet paving method & gt; thin paste method

Construction costs: the ground tiles using dry paving method is more time-consuming, and more testing the construction of the master's craftsmanship, so generally speaking, dry paving method than the wet paving method of the high cost. The thin paste method on the wall and floor of the high requirements of flatness, the need for the wall and floor leveling treatment, spend more process, longer, not only labor costs are relatively high, and the use of materials prices are slightly higher than the traditional cement mortar.

Overall, the construction cost of the three in descending order: thin paste method, dry paving method, wet paving method.

Three paving process has its own advantages and disadvantages, need to combine their own actual situation to choose, and by the experienced decoration personnel to operate, which is to ensure that the construction quality of the key.
