Most of them must have fallen into many misunderstandings when buying tiles. For example, they think that the thicker the tile adhesive is, the better. But is this really the case? Why can't the tile adhesive be thick? What are the benefits of using the thin adhesive method?

 

Why can't tile glue be thick?

Tile glue construction is too thick on the product performance will bring a direct negative impact, often cause dry mortar product shrinkage extreme, if not controlled correction, there will be cracking.

The thickness of tile glue is determined by its own material properties. Unlike traditional cement mortar that requires thick plastering, tile glue has good water retention performance and slower drying speed. Therefore, when the glue layer is too thick, the expansion and shrinkage rate of the material itself will also increase, which will lead to the mismatch of the expansion and shrinkage coefficients of the glue layer, ceramic tile and wall, the interface is reduced, and the bonding strength is large, which can easily cause the whole tile to peel off.

And tile glue is a new type of bonding material, the bonding force is 3 times that of cement, only need thin paste construction, improve construction efficiency! It is too thick. After the glue stick is pasted, the glue will not solidify at that time and will easily slide down.

 

 

 

The benefits of tile glue thin paste method

1. The laying efficiency of workers is high, and the proficiency requirements of masonry are relatively low;

2. Compared with the thickness of the traditional cement concrete mortar of about 20~30mm, the thickness of the tile adhesive used in the thin paste method is only 3~5mm, which can save some space;

3. The most important point is that the bonding strength is high, the firmness is strong, and the hollowing rate is extremely low.

The above is the reason why tile glue can't be pasted thick. In fact, if you carefully find that more and more people are using thin pasting method in the process of tile paving.
