Tile paving is undoubtedly one of the most important items in the decoration. If the tile paving is not done well, it is easy to have problems such as hollowing, falling off, cracking, etc., which are very difficult to solve.
There are many things about tile paving, one of which is the method of tile paving, such as wet paving, dry paving and glue paving. When paving, there are many choices of bonding materials used, such as cement mortar, tile glue and tile back glue.
In the face of such complex decoration terms, I believe many people are confused, do not know what is the difference between them, let alone choose which one is better when paving tiles.
Today, Brother Wen will talk to you about these issues.
【cement mortar]]
Traditional tile paving, mainly using cement mortar paving method, cement mortar is actually cement, sand and water in accordance with a certain amount of mixing the formation of ceramic tile bonding material, cement mortar after setting, will produce a strong bonding force, so that the tile firmly bonded on the wall, the ground. However, because of the poor adhesion of cement mortar, after the paving is completed, the tiles are prone to empty drum and fall off, and will gradually be eliminated.
ceramic tile glue]
Tile glue, also known as tile adhesive, viscose, its raw materials are mainly cement, quartz sand, rubber powder, hypromellose, starch ether, etc., similar to cement powder, before use need to be mixed with water and mixed into paste.
Tile glue has a strong bonding force, so it is used to replace the traditional cement mortar tile bonding material. When paving tiles, the bricklayer master will scrape tile glue on the back of the tiles, the wall surface and the ground respectively, and then press the tiles on the wall surface and the ground for paving.
【Tile adhesive]]
Tile back glue, also known as tile back glue, it with cement mortar, tile glue is two completely different things, does not belong to the adhesive, but a kind of interface treatment material, like glue, used to brush on the back of the tile.
When tiles are pasted, we will apply tile adhesive on the back of the tiles. After the tile adhesive dries, we will pave it on the wall and ground with cement mortar and tile adhesive.
Therefore, the role of the tile adhesive, just to increase the adhesion between the tile and the adhesive, in the tile and the adhesive between the transition, the role of the link, itself is not in direct contact with the wall, the ground, can not replace the adhesive used.
What's the difference?
As mentioned above, tile back glue is not a tile adhesive, so it cannot be compared with tile glue and cement mortar.
Generally speaking, when we pave tiles, if we want to ensure that the tile adhesive fits closely and avoid the phenomenon of hollowing and falling off of the tiles, we can use the tile back to apply glue, especially when the tile size is relatively large and the floor tile is to be attached to the wall.
As for cement mortar, tile glue what is the difference?
Traditional cement mortar thickness is relatively large, poor adhesion, after the completion of the paving, tile prone to hollowing, falling off phenomenon; in addition, tile glue also has a good crack resistance, impermeability, water resistance.
Many people think that the purchase cost of tile glue is more expensive than cement mortar, so it is more economical to use cement mortar to pave tiles, but in fact it is not. Combined with the amount of material, construction period, construction difficulty, labor cost to calculate, with tile glue paving tiles but more can save decoration costs.
tile shop to choose which one is better?
From the above mentioned several kinds of tile paving materials, we can sum up several ways of tile paving:
(1). Traditional cement mortar paving;
(2). Cement mortar with adhesive on the back of ceramic tile;
(3). Tile glue paving;
(4). Tile back coated tile glue paving.
Personally, under the condition of sufficient budget and pursuit of ceramic tile bonding effect, it is better to choose ceramic tile glue paving for the whole house. However, if ceramic tile is to be used on the wall, the water absorption rate is lower and larger size ceramic tiles, such as vitrified tiles, polished tiles, full glaze, full-body tiles, etc., it is better to use ceramic tile back coated with ceramic tile glue combination paving.
If the budget is general, traditional cement mortar can be selected when paving floor tiles. If the cement thickness is sufficient, the paving master is skilled and the possibility of empty tiles is low.
