Tips for tiling bricks
1. The paving of the floor tiles usually starts from the side of the door or window or from the balcony, from top to bottom and from left and right. For the specific paving, first use the slick to level the layer, then use a shovel to smear the mud on the back of the tile, then attach the tile to the wall and then tap the tile with a shovel handle or rubber hammer to make the mortar fill the wall. The space between the face and the tile will work better.
2. The surface of the floor tile layer should be cleaned, clean and solid with water rags within half an hour after the paste is applied; the width of the seam between the plates should meet the design requirements, and the width of the seam should not exceed 2 mm. Of course there are design requirements and additional considerations for antique tiles.
3. When the floor tiles are attached, the muddy water slurry in the brick joints should be cleaned in time for other sundries, and the stains on the floor tiles should be wiped off with a damp cloth. If it is waited until the muddy water slurry is dry and hard, it will not only be time-consuming and laborious, but also less effective.
This brings long-lasting damage to the tile glaze.
Method of affixing floor tiles
Tile soak
Clean the purchased tiles first and soak for more than 2 hours. Soaking is to let the tiles fully absorb the moisture, so as to avoid the moisture in the material after the paving is completed, resulting in insufficient moisture of the adhesive and affecting the adhesion firmness.
This causes an empty drum and falls off. The tiles need to be removed from the water and wiped off the surface before being fully immersed in water and ready to be laid.
Set up guides
Before starting the paving, you should first hang the vertical line on the wall level to determine the wall size line of the tile. Set the horizontal line again to ensure that the tile is laid flat and straight and the surface is flat.
Set the support planks.
In the tile laying, it is necessary to use a horizontal line as a criterion, and a wooden board capable of supporting the tile is provided to prevent the tile from being displaced or falling before reaching the adhesive strength.
Spread in order.
The paving of the floor tiles generally starts from the side of the door and window (or balcony), from top to bottom, in the order of left and right. The specific method of paving is: firstly leveling with water, using a shovel to smudge the mud (or other adhesive) on the back of the tile, then attaching the tile to the wall, then tapping the tile with a shovel handle or rubber hammer. Make the mud fill the space between the wall and the tile.
Precautions for tiling bricks
1. The concrete floor should be chiseled at the base layer, the depth of the chiseling is 5~10 mm, and the spacing of the chisel marks is about 30 mm. After that, the clean floating ash, mortar, oil stains, and the production of scattered water brush will be less on the ground.
2, before laying the line should play a good line, on the ground pops the baseline line at right angles to the doorway, the line should start from the door to ensure that the entrance is a whole brick, the non-whole brick is placed under the corner or furniture, the elastic line should Pop up the vertical and horizontal positioning control line.
3. Before laying the ceramic floor tiles, the ceramic floor tiles should be immersed in the shade.
4. When paving, the cement mortar should be satisfactorily applied to the back of the ceramic floor tile. After the paving, the rubber mortar is used for knocking. At the same time, check the calibration with a level gauge and wipe the surface cement mortar.
5, after 2 to 3 hours of paving, use white cement to wipe the seam, cement, sand = 1:1 (volume ratio) of cement mortar, the seam should be filled dense, smooth and smooth. Wipe the surface with cotton wool.
