Tiles, I believe everyone will be familiar with it. Every family uses a lot of tiles when decorating.
Therefore, the quality of tiles is directly related to the overall quality of home improvement.
It seems simple when laying tiles, but the actual operation is still very technical.
If you pay attention to details, you can prevent tiles from popping up and hollowing.
Today I will let you know a .👍
The following is about ‘’TOP 8 details that need attention to laying tiles’’. I hope it can be helpful to everyone.
- Make waterproof first
When laying tiles in kitchens, bathrooms, and balconies, we must first waterproof treatment. After the 24-hour closed water test shows no leakage, we can start laying tiles.
- Level the ground
When levelling in the kitchen or bathroom, pay attention to the slope of the flowing water and direct the water to the drain; so that there will be no accumulation of water, and the water will not flow back. When laying tiles in the bathroom, the thickness of the cement mortar can be appropriately thinner; so that the bathroom floor is slightly lower than other floors.
- Grassroots situation
When there are cracks on the wall, you need to deal with them before tiling. Before tiling, pay attention to cleaning the wall. If there is powder on the wall, it must be cleaned up. Otherwise, the cement mortar and the wall will not stick firmly cause easy tile fallout.
- Plan first
Before laying, you must pay attention to the laying direction of the bricks, that is, horizontal or vertical, and where to place them. If you buy antique tiles, pay more attention to them. You must see the laying design drawings clearly to ensure the laying effect. If you make a mistake, you will regret it.
- Pre-lay
Before the formal laying, it is best to pre-lay, adjust the effect to the best condition, and carry out the actual laying.
- Lay the floor tiles after the wall tiles done
The direction of the brand logo or arrow on the back of the tiles should be consistent so that it is easier to be flat and beautiful.
- Pay attention to the gap
Generally, 2-5mm gaps are left for tile-laying, and 1mm gaps must be reserved even for seamless tiles to prevent future thermal expansion and contraction from causing deformation and cracks.
- Check whether there is a hollow in the middle within 12 hours
After the tiles are laid, check whether there is a hollow immediately, tap the tile surface randomly with a rubber hammer, and knock at various places. It is easy to hear whether there is a hollow below by listening to the sound. If there are hollows, it is necessary to remove and reattach. If the rework is more complicated after the cement has solidified, the tiles may be damaged and cannot use.
