I don't want to sew the tiles beautifully.

Many owners are concerned about whether the tiles need exquisite splicing. In fact, it is necessary to sew beautifully, but there is one problem that should not be ignored, that is, the problem of leaving seams on tiles. Don't make mistakes when decorating. When it comes to the beautiful seams of ceramic tiles, many friends don't know much about them. The beautiful seam of tiles is to make the interior more beautiful, but many families will consider the beautiful seam when decorating because of their limited economy, but even if the tiles are not beautiful, they should pay attention to leaving seams. The tiles are not beautifully stitched, but they should be stitched, but how wide should they be? Make no mistake. Let's find out.

1. How wide is the tile seam?

How wide is the tile joint? Let's talk about it according to the situation:

1, consider1mm if you don't make beautiful seams; All tiles can be left1mm.

2. In the case of beautiful joints, 2-3mm is recommended for ordinary glazed tiles. Generally, a slightly wider gap will have a better final effect.

3. It is suggested to leave 5-6mm for antique brick for inferior smooth brick. There are no hard and fast rules, but it will be better to see the effect.

4. Leave at least 2mm for balcony tiles, because balcony tiles are easy to squeeze.

5. The size of seamless wall tiles for kitchen and bathroom is generally around 1 1.5㎜, not less than 1㎜. In order to create a special effect, you can also increase the gap, such as 5 mm. Like some antique bricks, or exterior wall bricks, balcony strips, it is better to leave wide seams. When laying floor tiles, the joint is generally around 1.5-2mm.

If there are no special circumstances, it is generally recommended that the owner make beautiful joints, which will have a good decorative effect and will not cause tile extrusion. Experience shows that the effect is better when the gap is slightly wider, and of course the cost of sewing will be higher.

Second, why do you want to leave a seam when laying tiles?

1, which expands when heated and contracts when cooled. This is because tiles, cement and mortar will expand when heated and contract when paved. If the indoor temperature or humidity changes, they will expand when heated and contract when cooled. If you don't leave cracks on the tiles, the tiles will bulge or crack easily in the later period, which will affect the normal use of the tiles.

2. Master's construction mistakes. Even if your bricklayer's skill is superb, it is normal that some mistakes will inevitably occur when laying bricks. If you don't leave cracks on the tiles, it will be difficult to ensure the smoothness of the tiles and affect the consistency of tile paving.

3. Size error. Even the tiles of the same manufacturer, batch and model will have some errors in size, such as length or right angle. If you don't leave a seam for the tile, it is easy for the tile to have uneven seam when laying, which directly affects the beauty of the tile.

4. It is convenient for later maintenance or replacement of ceramic tiles. In the subsequent normal use, if the tiles need to be knocked off due to the failure of water pipes and wires, then if we have reserved gaps before, the construction will be more convenient and easy, and other tiles will not be affected.

3. What are the advantages of laying floor tiles and leaving gaps?

1. Rescue

If you leave a seam, you can actually save the use of tiles, such as seam 1-3mm, which can save about 3% of tiles, thus reducing expenses.

2. Convenient laying

The joint-leaving paving can better adjust the spacing according to the size of the area to be paved, and try to use the whole brick at the corner position, which is both beautiful and time-saving and labor-saving.

3. Effect guarantee

When tiles with different colors and patterns are used for large-area mosaic paving, leaving seams for paving can make the color transmission more natural and eye-catching.

4. Small error

There is room for expansion and contraction in the joint paving, which is convenient to ensure that the tile surface is flat-fell, and avoid the flat-fell deviation caused by the brick type or size deviation, which will affect the overall effect of tile paving.

Ensure security

It can avoid the occurrence of brick shape, bulging, hollowing and fracture caused by the different shrinkage rates of brick body and ground or wall.

In fact, it is beneficial to leave a seam in the ceramic tile, because the ceramic tile will expand when heated and contract when cooled, so we should pay attention to the construction methods and skills. When laying tiles, we should pay attention to tile laying skills, find professionals to carry out construction, pay attention to the width of joints, and ensure that the tiles are beautiful and generous after laying.
