How to deal with tile gaps

Most owners will choose tile as a wall surface finish material, especially the kitchen and bathroom space must use tiles. Tiles will have gaps when paving, why there are gaps in the paving tiles? How to deal with this gap in the tile ? Let's take a look with Xiaobian.

First, how to deal with tile gaps

For the problem of how to deal with the cracks in the tiles, most of the decoration practices are jointing (also called beautiful seams). The following is the construction of the joints:

1、Cooking material

The commonly used jointing materials are cement, caulking agent and putty powder. Among them, putty powder and white cement are more traditional caulking materials. Now most of them are used on the cultural tiles on the balcony paving, and many balcony bricks are When paving, ordinary cement mortar is used directly.

Mainly because putty powder, white cement waterproof performance, scrub resistance performance than the seaming agent should be worse, and now people use less, especially in the kitchen and toilet wall, living room floor tile joints generally do not Adopted, most choose professional tile caulking agent.

2, the type and selection of seaming agent

Nowadays, the seaming agent on the market is sand and sand-free. If it is a wall tile and a vitrified tile with bright light, it is more suitable to use sand-free. If it is paved with matt brick and antique floor tile, it is suitable for use. There is sand.

There are also two ways to choose the color of the seaming agent. One is the proximity method, which is to choose the seaming agent that is close to the color of the tile, and the second is the contrast method, and choose the seaming agent that contrasts with the color of the tile.

3, the choice of pointing time

Generally, the best time for the construction of the ceramic tile joints is 24 hours after the tiles are finished, that is, after the tile is dry. If the jointing time is too early, it will cause uneven or loose off phenomenon, and before the jointing, be sure to clean the gap in the tile.

Second, why the shop will leave the seam

1, the physical requirements of the tiles

Any object is subject to thermal expansion and contraction. Tiles are no exception. If the gaps set by ordinary tiles are too small, the ability of the tiles to adapt to the environment will deteriorate. Once the temperature changes, there will be a phenomenon such as arching and crushing of the tiles. Therefore, we also call this left seam a joint.

2, tile size error

Mainly because there are errors in the size of tiles, which is everyone's common understanding. After all, products cannot be exactly the same size and weight in production. Generally, as long as the error meets the relevant standards, it is permissible; The same type of tile product may have variations in length, straightness, straightness, etc., so there is no error.

3, tiles in the construction of errors

In addition to non-standard construction methods, workers will also experience some errors in the collage. The size of seams, such as seamless bricks and wall tiles, are generally around 1-1.5mm and must not be lower than 1mm.

Editing summary: The above is about how to deal with the gaps in ceramic tiles and why the tiles need to be left. The tiles are to be left when laying, and different types of tiles leave different widths. I hope that the content edited by Xiaobian can help everyone.
