What is the biggest difference between tile glue and traditional cement?

Cement is one of the most commonly used things in Gai Lou and architecture. Its color is gray, which is traditional, and its price is relatively cheap. When it is dry, it has very strong stability, so water is generally used to decorate tiles. But because the thickness of cement is relatively large, there is something called tile glue now. As the name implies, tile glue is used to stick tiles. It is a new paving material with many advantages and high viscosity. Compared with traditional cement, tile glue is different in construction efficiency, adhesion and aesthetics.

First, the construction efficiency is different.

Compared with cement, tile glue has different construction efficiency. If cement is to be used, it needs to be mixed with water, and it is very complicated to wet the wall and throw bricks to support the ground in advance. Therefore, it takes a lot of manpower when decorating, and the technical requirements for workers are very high. When pasting, make sure that the thickness of each tile is consistent. However, this material is relatively simple for tile makers. Tile glue can be used as long as it is evenly mixed with water, and its adsorption force is not worse than cement, so it is more concise and convenient to paste tiles, and the efficiency will be greatly improved.

Second, the adhesion of materials is different.

Because the quality of tiles is getting better and better now, the water absorption rate of both wall tiles and floor tiles will not be as high as that of previous tiles. If you use traditional cement to paste tiles, there will definitely be some water or mud in it, so tile glue is easier to bond. Moreover, tile glue is not affected by external temperature and humidity, but cement is very prone to thermal expansion and cold contraction, so it is easy to cause tiles to bulge or fall off and crack.

Third, tile glue is more beautiful.

When sticking tiles, only a small amount of tile glue is needed to help the tiles to produce a firm bonding effect, so it can not help, but also play a beautiful role and ensure the integrity of the whole tile. However, if it is bonded with cement, the thickness of the wall will be thicker, and the previously narrow place will be easily affected, which is not beautiful as a whole.
