Placing bricks on the wall is the most popular decoration method recently. Compared to wall tiles, floor tiles have richer colors and more optional types. In particular, floor tiles, such as full-glazed glazed stone and microcrystalline stone, are brightly colored and have smooth surfaces. They are used by many people as background wall decorations and their visual effects. The effect is indeed difficult to achieve with ordinary wall tiles or paints. So, what are the differences between floor tiles and floor coverings? How to paste the wall tiles ? Let's take a look together.
First, what are the differences between floor tiles and paved floors?
Because the original design of floor tiles and wall tiles is different, the same volume of floor tiles is much heavier than wall tiles. The dense, heavy-weight floor tiles should have been attached to the ground and have been firmly attached to the ground by their own weight. Once on the wall, the weight has become a big problem. In addition, the tiles used for wall decoration belong to porcelain tiles, that is, tiles with a water absorption rate of less than 0.5%. The aforementioned all-glazed glazes and microcrystalline stones belong to this category. The water absorption rate of the wall tiles is usually about 10%. After soaking, the wall tiles are fully immersed and fully combined with the clay after water absorption. The ordinary wall tiles can be firmly fixed on the wall surface. However, tile products with extremely low water absorption rates cannot be fully immersed to achieve a level of adhesion to the wall. Based on the above two points, the tiles on the floor will inevitably fail to be completed in the manner of ordinary wall tiles.
Second, how to paste the wall tiles
At present, there are two common paving methods, namely dry shop and wet shop.
Dry shop : first grind the groove on the back of the brick body, bury the copper wire, fix it with structural glue, and then fix it with structural glue and wooden keel attached to the wall. This paving method is usually used to lay the TV background wall. Generally, a wooden keel is made in the position of the TV background wall, and a 12-percent board or a 9-percent multi-layer board is sealed; the upper part of the floor tile is then slotted and the copper wire is hung; the floor tile is positioned to fix the screw at the corresponding position. And the copper wire is fixed (where the copper wire is equivalent to a tile belt); the structure glue is finally applied to the back of the floor tile, and is directly laid.
Wet shop : The general procedure is the same as the dry shop method except that the wet shop method is to use cement mortar with cement and fine sand to lay the tile on the cement wall. Before laying, the wall must be roughened to increase the friction.
In addition, there will be a lot of powder on the back of the new tiles, which must be handled before laying. Even if the water absorption rate of the tiles is small, they should be fully soaked and soaked for at least 2 hours before spreading. Due to the relatively cumbersome process, the labor costs for laying bricks of the same area are usually more than twice that of direct paving.
Third, the tiles on the wall to pay attention to matters
After all, the tiles are not wall tiles. Paving also requires extra attention. One is not good, and it may fall. Therefore, when constructing, we must pay special attention to details.
1. To see if the wall is suitable for paving ceramic tiles, check whether there is hollowing, cracking, whether the wall is waterproof, and whether the hair removal treatment is qualified. If it exists, it needs to be rectified and then tiled.
2. Determine the level of the tiles. The tiles that will be tiled will be fixed on the wooden side so as to prevent the newly laid tile from falling.
3. If the wall surface is too dry, there may be delamination of the tile and cement mortar. The wall should be moistened one day in advance.
4. If cement mortar is used as a binder, in order to avoid empty drums, cement mortar should be placed on the back of the brick.
5. When paving, one wall should not be tiled once to the top, and it can be layered one by one. If the whole wall is tiled, it may fall and fall.
6, the tile is not dry can not be hooking treatment, this will cause the tiles loose, uneven.
The above information on how to paste the wall tiles on the ground is briefly introduced here, and friends who want to put bricks on the wall can pay more attention to this information. After all, there are differences between tiles and wall tiles. It's not good for the tiles to fall and hurt people. Therefore, everyone must be careful when constructing.
