Small details of gaps and caulking in tile paving

Ceramic tiles are an indispensable main material in home decoration. Especially for southern areas where there are frequent returns to the south, owners tend to choose ceramic tiles in public areas when decorating. In the humid areas of the house, such as balconies, kitchens, bathrooms, etc., whether it is on the ground or on the walls, ceramic tiles are almost the only choice. In the past, when we talked about ceramic tiles, we often talked more about the purchase and paving of the main materials, and some small details were often overlooked, such as seams and caulking. If you can carefully consider the small details such as the gaps and fillings of the tile paving, the effect of the decoration must be more impressive in the details. Leaving and seamless. Regarding leaving seams, naturally different types of bricks have different width standards. Many people think that it is sufficient to leave the tile installation work to a professional worker, but in fact, the owner should communicate with the worker and make requirements according to the type of ceramic tile they choose. Because different seam widths will produce different effects, which directly affect the beauty of the area. Some owners are more 'willfulHowever, due to the consideration of natural factors such as thermal expansion and contraction, the work of leaving seams in the paving of tiles is a must. If no seam is left or the width of the seam is not enough, once thermal expansion and contraction occur, the tiles will squeeze each other to form bulging or peeling. In addition, another advantage of leaving seams is that it can eliminate the influence of the size deviation of decking tile products. Since leaving a seam is a necessary part, how wide the gap is appropriate? In fact, different tiles need to have different width of the seam; and different effects appear, the width of the seam is also different. In foreign paving specifications, a 2 mm gray seam must be left between tiles. In my country, there are many types of ceramic tiles, and the standard for remaining seams is also different for 'bricks': usually polished tiles are laid with a seam of about 3 mm, and porcelain tiles are laid with a seam of 2-5 mm. Antique tiles have the most seam. The width should be about 5-8 mm. In addition to different 'bricksFor example, in the kitchen and bathroom area, the wall tiles are generally 1-1.5 mm wide, while the floor tiles are 1.5-2 mm wide. It is not recommended to leave too wide, otherwise it is easy to accumulate dirt. For owners who do not like gaps, although it is impossible to achieve complete seamlessness, according to the category of tiles, you can still choose 'narrow gaps'. When decorating, the owner Xiaolin chose gray antique tiles for the floor tiles. She prefers simple splicing methods and prefers a texture that is close to 'seamless'. Therefore, the Tang worker of Mingjiang Decoration gave her the suggestion of laying tiles with 'natural seams'— —Simple narrow slit, simple effect. Some pave the antique floor tiles in the American style, leaving a wider gap, and the effect is very beautiful with the beauty joint agent. Part 2 caulking and beautiful seam tiles need to be caulked after the seams are left and laid. Filling is generally awakened 24 hours after the completion of the tiling, and the dust between the gaps must be cleaned up before the filling. Commonly used caulking materials are: white cement, putty powder, caulking agent, beautifying agent and so on. Among them, white cement and putty powder are traditional joint filling materials. These two types of materials are effective in a short time, but they will fall off after a long time. In addition, due to poor waterproof performance, it has been used for a long time in a damp environment, which can easily cause the outdoor wood deck tiles joints to become black and moldy. Therefore, nowadays, special joint fillers for ceramic tiles are used more and more in home decoration. The caulking agent is a dry powdery material formed by adding a small amount of inorganic pigments, polymers and a small amount of antimicrobial agent to white cement as the main material. It is divided into sand-free and sand-free. The former is mainly used on wide brick joints. The latter is mainly used on narrow outdoor wood deck tiles joints. It has better adhesion than traditional materials such as white cement, and has higher abrasion resistance and strength after drying. However, the special ceramic caulking agent lacks water resistance. In the bathroom area that is often in a humid environment, there will still be moldy and blackening in the gaps. Therefore, the beauty seam agent came into being. Therefore, in the selection of caulking materials, owners should consider their own practical situation and decoration budget.
