With house prices rising yearly, it’s tough to buy a house independently. After purchasing a home, you must undergo a “big” test.
If you are lucky, you can have a pleasant renovation journey. Bad luck; not only is the decoration process unpleasant, but there will also be various problems after moving in, such as tile pop-ups. As a decorative material with a high frequency of use, the quality of tile laying directly affects the quality of life after moving in. Today, I will share the solution to the tile pop-up!
What should I do if the tiles are arched? Before answering the question, let’s look at the reasons for the pop-up of tiles. I think the main reasons for the pop-up of tiles are roughly two-fold. On the one, the tiles are laid without a gap, and the tiles and the cement mortar will expand and contract. The cement mortar will also expand and contract when the surrounding temperature and humidity rise and fall.
At this time, the tiles without gaps will squeeze each other and start arching slowly. Over time, problems such as cracking will occur. On the other, cement mortar was not mixed correctly, or the tiles were not thoroughly soaked before application. Therefore, over time, the cement mortar will not be able to bond the tiles, causing problems such as tile pop-ups.
The way to decide is also straightforward: to knock the tiles with your hands or tool. If the sound is empty, the Tile has been separated from the cement layer. At this time, pressing down rashly and forcefully will easily cause the tiles to crack.
Therefore, we need to pry up the tiles that appear as pop-ups and then re-lay them according to the standard.
If the pop-up tiles are large areas, I suggest prying them up directly and finding a professional tile master to re-lay them according to the standard. Well, remember to leave the gap lying.
