B. Preparation before shop
Floor tiles are a kind of cleaning items. They are not only used in bathrooms and toilets, but tiles are used in traditional homes very early. In order to delight you in using your own paved floor tiles, we have collected important tips for you. For pavers, the proper method of laying is a thin-sheet method, where you can lay tiles on almost all floors (cement, compound, floating, concrete, land, chipboard, and old) Floor tiles). The outer floor must be clean, crack-free and able to withstand pressure. Old binder residues and coatings must be carefully removed. You must seal off the unevenness of the floor or use a floor repair material to level the unevenness. It is definitely recommended to apply the background color.
C, the surface of the points
If you use the same tiles for walls and floors, we recommend that you use seams for wall tiles whenever possible: that is, you are laying along seams. When you only think of tiles, then pull one vertical and tighten it in the middle of the room, parallel to the vertical wall. Check the room's angle. If the wall is not vertical, then the center point of the ceiling is used as a fixed point for rewinding. Pull the axis from the center of the side wall.
D. Check every right angle
Measure out the line segment OP = 80CM, then OL = 60CM, to obtain a precise vertical line. If the line LP = 1M, then it is a right angle. You lay the tile along the vertical line, where you can decide whether the center of the tile is on this vertical line or the brick seam is on this vertical line. By laying a series of tiles loosely and horizontally, the best arrangement can be achieved. Please note. Wall tiles and lintels are used in tile layups, for example with selected moving profiles or advanced silicone sealing materials. In the continuous tile lay in the adjoining room, you place the expansion joint in the door frame. Be careful of continuous seam displacements when using the same tiles or tiles of the same size.
E, correctly paste the tiles
Use a stirrer tile adhesive that you can fasten to any rig without difficulty until it is free of agglomerates. Apply the adhesive well with a spatula and evenly distribute them with a brush for plastering. Then use a toothed spatula to “comb†the adhesive. You need a toothed spatula with: 60mm kerf (for outlines) Obvious tiles 8-10mm) for well-contoured tiles and rough tiles 10-22mm for well-contoured tiles, eg hard ceramics then pressed into an adhesive and hammered with a rubber mallet. You have inspected it all the time, there is enough adhesion between the adhesive and the tile, there is no unevenness (level) and straight seam displacement. We recommend that you do not need to lower the cross bracing when you use the floor tile, because all the manufacturers may produce slight differences in the size of the production process due to the high baking temperature. This is easier to compensate when there are no floor tiles. The ideal auxiliary method with attached broken tiles. In order to cut clean corner grooves in a whole tile, we recommend that you use a diamond angle grinder.
F, gap management
The gap must be clean, the same depth and no adhesive residue, if any, carefully removed. You should wait for the adhesive to dry completely before handling the gap. Stir the joints with water until it is viscous. It is more convenient to use a paddle for the drill press. Pour the sticky material on the tiles and use a rubber brush to brush in the direction of the dip. Gap can not be splashed on the edge of the tile: Carefully remove excess material. Then repeat the process by flushing the tiles with a set of tile cleaners and completely clean water. Until the tiles are completely free of seams. You should divide the larger tile surface into two sides. The new gap on the outside must be protected against rain (film) and cannot be treated in the direct sun, otherwise the gap material will "melt". Expansion joints must not be filled with ordinary materials. They must be filled with silicone. Or you can use dedicated mobile profiles directly. The expansion joints are at least 8 mm wide and deep, and in any case placed against the wall where they intersect with different materials, ie where there is a risk of cracking. When you use silicone paste to adhere to the bottom plate to help better adhere to the substrate. Attach the adhesive tape to the seam side. Then, the tip of the silicone frame is cut obliquely according to the width of the slit, and the silicone resin is uniformly injected with a squeeze gun. When you use the hand of the immersed washing liquid to smooth out the gap, you get a clean and smooth gap. Before the material is hard, you should tear off the adhesive tape.
G. Special Situation Floor Tiles
The wooden floor must be tightened with the screws on the floor below, leveled and grounded. We recommend a fabric net or a floor mat system to ensure its stability when the wooden floor is heavily sunk. Please use plastic quenching adhesives and joint fillers, which can be continuously sprayed with elasticity.
H, outside the floor tiles
In addition to many details that require attention, this is all the most important tips. Use anti-frozen tiles and only select the first category. Please use only suitable adhesive extrusion and joint materials. Please note that the correct interior design (slope in front of the house) must avoid hundreds of water-filled cavities in uneven tiles.
J. How to deal with unsuitable ground
The tile on the chipboard has a special feature. You'd better use the slotted and spring (at least 22mm) waterproof chipboard V100. You can lay the chipboard in a free-floating manner (please stay 15mm away from the neighboring parts). These plates must be screwed to the underlying structure. In addition the seam must be glued. Please use plastic conditioning and bonding materials and joint materials. You must not fill the joints with a continuous elastic material.
If you want to place the tiles on the old tile, you must clean the floor without grease, then use a plastering trowel to apply a thin layer of floor tile adhesive to the layer and let it dry. The adhesive tile treated with a plastic quenched and tempered adhesive can bond well. You can also use any other ordinary sealing material.
K, Tips and Tiles
Important points at the time of purchase: In particular, when buying again, please pay attention to buying the same color (burnt color).
Some ceramic tiles are classified according to their size (D-diameter). You should also pay attention to this. The amount of squares required to calculate the amount of tiles + 5% scrap (10% on diagonals) + 5% margin = the amount of tiles that must be tiled using tiles from several cartons to achieve the best color image . The socket board made of tiles is very beautiful and attracts attention. Our experts are happy to recommend it to you. Wear group, what exactly is this? All glazed tiles are classified according to the wear group. The wear group gives information on the load capacity of the tiles, summarized here:
Wear 1: Pure Tiles
Wear 2: Walls and floor tiles in private bathrooms (with micro-loads such as casual shoes, bare feet, and lack of storage)
Wear 3: Floor tiles with a moderate load throughout the living area, except kitchens, aisles, balconies.
Wear 4: Floor tiles for strong loads (kitchen, aisle, balcony).
Wear 5: Floor tiles for maximum load
