How to make beautiful ceramic tile joints?
1. Reserved design of narrow tile joint width: Generally, the reserved tile joint is 1 mm-8 mm wide and 1 mm-2 mm deep. The overall effect is good after the narrow tile joint is filled, and the three-dimensional effect is good after the wide tile joint, and the layering is strong, and the sleeve length error is easy to control.
2. Tile reserved joint: the locating cross can be embedded in the joint of tile, which is easy to ensure the uniformity of tile width. Then use ordinary cement or white cement to lay the bottom and fill the joints. After filling, level and compact the joint with wicker to keep the joint depth about 0.5-1.5 mm. ..
3. Drying period: After the paving and joint filling are completed, the cement material in the joint can be completely dried, and then the jointing construction of sealant can be carried out, and the dust in the tile can be removed with a rag.
When should the tiles be sewn beautifully?
1, kitchen, bathroom; Because the walls of the kitchen and bathroom will be tiled, these two places will be the ceiling after tiling. It is suggested to construct the sealant before the ceiling, because the ceiling should hold down some wall bricks, and the sealant should be prepared first, so that there will be no leakage of sealant at the junction of wall bricks and ceiling. If the ceiling is suspended first, and then the joint sealant is made, then the joint sealant construction will be incomplete, because the glue gun cannot inject the joint sealant. Cabinets must be installed after installation, and construction after installation is even more difficult.
2. Living room, balcony or bedroom; These places generally only have floor tiles, and the walls should be painted with latex paint or pasted with wallpaper, which will produce dust and garbage. It is suggested that the construction joint sealant should be used after these dust-producing processes are completed and cleaned, so that the home will be basically clean after sewing. Although it can be scrubbed normally 24 hours after sealant construction, if these processes are carried out after sealant construction, it will also increase the workload of cleaning in the future.
3, the living room, balcony or bedroom sewing agent construction after the painter (or wallpaper) is completed, the ceiling? In order to reduce the cleaning times and workload, furniture, cabinets and sanitary ware generally enter after the construction of caulking agent. This is our suggestion after comparing various time periods in actual construction, of course, according to the owner's construction cycle and progress. Because the caulking agent can be scrubbed and used normally after 24 hours of construction, it is easy to wipe off even if the dust falls on the surface of the gap.
Beautiful joint method of ceramic tile
1. Construction method: put the tile sealant into the glue gun, then slowly and forcefully drive the tile sealant into the joint, and after paving a joint (about 0.2m), block the nozzle with a wooden wedge first, and then scrape off the tile sealant with a small scraper or finger immediately. The overflow tile sealant on both sides of the joint can be wiped off with a wet sponge, and it must be cleaned before the tile sealant solidifies. After each wiping, the sponge should be washed with water for reuse. If the joint width is greater than 3mm, and the tile caulking agent filled into the tile joint is relatively uniform, then there is no need to scrape the tile caulking agent and let it level automatically.
2. Leave a gap with a depth of1mm.. Before applying the ceramic tile joint filler, clean the dust in the joint with a rag or a fine brush. Stick masking paper on both sides of the seam. It is advisable that the masking paper is about 0.5mm away from the edge of the gap. Put the tile joint filler on the glue gun and push it evenly along the brick joint. Construction is about 1 m, which should be evenly daubed with fingers or a small scraper immediately; When the tile sealant is not cured (about 1 m during construction), it is convenient to remove the masking paper.
3. Note: Be sure to tear off the textured paper in time after smoothing. After a long time, it is easy to uproot the tile sealant in the seam. Every time the tile sealant is used up, the outlet should be sealed with toothpick or tape (to prevent overflow and waste). When joining again, the discharge nozzle overflows a little, which can be wiped off by newspaper.
4. After curing, the surface of the ceramic tile joint filler is as smooth as porcelain, which can be scrubbed together with the ceramic tile, and has the characteristics of impermeability and waterproof, so that the real cracks of the ceramic tile will never turn black; At present, the living room and kitchen and bathroom at home usually encounter the problem that the gap between tiles turns from white to black, which is extremely unsanitary and unsightly. Black gaps between tiles will breed bacteria and produce peculiar smell, which will seriously endanger human health, especially in summer. So this is something that needs special attention.
abstract
Finally, Bian Xiao reminded everyone that during the exquisite splicing of ceramic tiles, we must ensure that the construction base material must be flat, solid and dust-free, and the width of ceramic tiles should be aligned with the plastic cross, otherwise it will affect the beauty of ceramic tiles. In addition, the mouth of the discharge nozzle should be small and the discharge should be uniform. After each scraping, there is a small amount of self-overflow material in the discharge nozzle when jointing. After construction, it is necessary to wait until the surface of the sealant is slightly dry before removing the overflow. Therefore, in the process of tile sewing, we must not be impatient, only Seiko can do fine work!
