Tile glue correct construction process, you do not understand!

For the understanding of tile glue, people who do not understand it will mistakenly think that tile glue is cement and glue. In fact, this is a wrong cognition.

 

 

The correct understanding is that ceramic tile glue, also known as ceramic tile adhesive or binder, viscose clay and other names, is a new type of modern decoration materials, instead of traditional cement, yellow sand. The adhesive force of ceramic tile glue is several times that of cement mortar, which can effectively paste large ceramic tile stone and avoid the risk of brick falling. The tile glue has good flexibility to prevent the product from hollowing. Mainly used for pasting tiles, tiles, floor tiles and other decorative materials, widely used in interior and exterior walls, floors, bathrooms, kitchens and other building decorative decorative places.

 

 

Construction process/

 

There is a saying in the tile paving industry, three points, seven points, which also shows the importance of construction. It should be considered that national standards and industry standards have fully taken into account safety issues when they are formulated. When relevant auxiliary materials products meet the standards and can be correctly matched, performance safety is highly guaranteed. But in fact, because at present, although many construction personnel have rich practical experience, they have been lack of systematic training, and their cognitive level on how to correctly use ceramic tile glue and other auxiliary materials is uneven. At the same time, in the construction process, in order to save working hours, save some necessary steps, leaving a lot of security risks.

 

Specific points of attention can be classified as follows:

 

1. Brick bottom and base course

The dust and release agent at the bottom of the tile need to be removed before paving, otherwise the tile glue cannot penetrate after being blocked; The wall surface needs to be a cement-based concrete wall surface with tight structure without looseness and cracking (if looseness needs to be pretreated with interface agent, etc.), and the floating ash on the wall surface needs to be cleaned and wetted with water before paving, but the surface needs to be free of open water.

 

 

2. Wall leveling

Before tile paving, especially large board paving, it is necessary to check the flatness of the wall surface (the flatness and perpendicularity error of 2 meters by the foot is within 3mm). If there is no pre-leveling, the traditional thick paste method is required.

 

 

3. Mixing mucilage

It is recommended to use an electric stirrer. A pack of 20kg tile glue generally needs to be equipped with about 5L of water. After the first stirring, it needs to stand for about 3-5 minutes, and then the second stirring is carried out for 1-3 minutes.

 

 

4. Tile paving

Tile paving generally uses three methods: thin paste method (tile glue thickness 3-5mm), combination method (tile glue thickness 7-8mm), thick paste method (tile glue thickness 10-12mm or more).

 

Today, let's talk about the commonly used combination method: evenly fill the mixed mortar with one layer on the surface of the base, squeeze and scrape the mortar to the base with appropriate force during spreading, so that the mortar and the base are well bonded together, then apply mortar on the back of the cleaned ceramic tile, and adopt the method of back coating and base batch scraping to keep the mortar in contact with the pasting surface open and moist, to ensure that the paste effect is more solid.

 

 

5. Seam-leaving treatment

It is recommended to leave a 2mm gap, otherwise it is easy to cause hollowing, warping, cracking and other problems due to thermal expansion and contraction.
