How to install bricks on the wall so that it is not empty
How to install bricks on the wall so that it is not empty. Nowadays, many people are very confused when decorating. They don’t know how to compare. Well, with the popularity of large ceramic tiles, many people choose to install ceramic tiles on their walls in order to give themselves a more beautiful wall effect. Let’s take a look at how to install Zhongmo bricks on the wall without leaving it empty. How to move bricks onto the wall without leaving them empty 1
When decorating your home, install large bricks on the wall so that they will not be hollow. Pay attention to the following points!
1. Large bricks on the wall must be constructed using the thin-laying method. First, square and align the wall to ensure the squareness of the wall
2. Before laying the ceramic tiles, Apply glue on the back of the tiles to increase the adhesion of the tiles
3. Perform groove processing on the wall after square and alignment
4. Apply cement mortar evenly to make grooves processing, and intersecting with the wall grooves
5. Confirm the paving position, size and thickness
6. Prepare seams and lower supports for large brick paving in advance , and confirm the position of the tiles again
7. Use a vibrator to vibrate evenly to ensure that the tiles and the wall are dense.
1. The dry wall must be Sprinkle water to prevent the wall from absorbing the moisture in the mortar and causing the shape to become hollow.
2. Before laying ceramic tiles on the wall, apply Jingdi ecological wall solid or interface agent to remove dust on the wall surface and increase adhesion.
3. For kitchen and bathroom walls to be tiled, Jingdi rigid waterproof coating must be used for waterproofing. After the bathroom is waterproofed, it must be roughened.
4. Porcelain tiles should be soaked in water before being laid. Only when the tiles absorb water can they be laid.
5. All ceramic tiles on the wall must be painted with ceramic tile adhesive. You can also use Jingdi ceramic tile adhesive and ceramic tile adhesive together for better results. How to move bricks to the wall without leaving them empty 2
1. Cutting
Many people originally used floor tiles to install the wall, and the floor tiles are more difficult to construct due to their low water absorption rate and high density. trouble. Therefore, many people will use the tile cutting construction method to cut the original large tiles in the middle and turn them into several small tiles. In this way, the paving will become easier, and there will be certain effects, but because the gaps are relatively small, , there are basically no gaps visible after the paving is applied to the wall, and the overall feel is still good.
2. Brushing
Many walls are too smooth, which can easily cause the tiles to fall off. Therefore, we need to roughen the wall to make it uneven. Increase the friction on the wall to prevent the tiles from falling off. Especially the walls that have a waterproof layer and solid walls must be roughened first and then laid with ceramic tiles.
3. Ceramic tile adhesive
Many ceramic tiles have insufficient adhesion, causing wall tiles to fall off. Therefore, when laying wall tiles, it is best to apply tile adhesive. After applying the adhesive on the tiles, cover them with cement mortar. At the same time, the thickness of the cement mortar should not exceed 7mm to make the tiles more firmly adhered.
4. Tile adhesive
Although tile adhesive is one word different from tile adhesive, there is an essential difference between the two. When we use tile adhesive, we don’t need cement mortar at all. Tile adhesive is a mixture of glue and cement sand. Its paving thickness is much thinner than cement mortar, and its adhesiveness is strong. If you have certain requirements for thickness, you can choose Apply tile adhesive.
5. Pendant fixation
In order to prevent the tiles from falling off, we can also use pendants to fix the tiles. We can open two small grooves on the back of the tiles and place the hooks in the small grooves. Inside, then apply adhesive on the back of the tiles and lay cement mortar to secure the tiles to the wall. How to move bricks onto the wall without leaving them empty 3
01 Plan 1 Cutting
Before the emergence of large-size wall tiles, there was a patent for large-size ceramic tiles on the wall - on the floor tiles wall.
The biggest difference between floor tiles and wall tiles is that floor tiles have lower water absorption, higher density, and are more wear-resistant, but more difficult to construct.
When the floor tiles are installed on the wall, the commonly used method is cutting: the floor tiles are generally 800mm×800mm in size, and a knife is cut in the middle to turn it into 400mm×800mm. In this way, the weight of a single tile is small, and the difficulty of laying it is naturally low.
The person said that if big bricks become smaller bricks, wouldn’t the advantage of large-size ceramic tiles on the wall be lost? There will be an impact, but the advantages will not be lost: the water absorption rate of floor tiles is low, and all the tile gaps that need to be reserved are smaller. There are no tile seams visible on the wall, but there is still a certain sense of integrity.
02 Plan 2 Brushing
The large-size ceramic tiles on the wall itself are shaky, and if the wall surface is relatively smooth, it will be even worse. Therefore, some smooth walls need to be roughened to increase the friction of the wall.
What kind of wall is considered smooth? Remember two categories: walls with a waterproof layer or solid walls are considered smooth. When installing large-size ceramic tiles on this type of wall, roughening must be done first.
Brushing is to use cement to create an uneven feeling on the wall. There are many methods, the most common one is roller: it is the kind of roller used to apply latex paint, dipped in cement and applied to the wall. In addition, you can use a broom to throw against the wall, smooth it on the wall first, and then use a scraper to scrape out the dents.
03 Plan 3 Tile Adhesive
Why do wall tiles fall down? It’s not because it’s not glued firmly! Since the cement mortar is not sticky enough, we will add something more sticky to strengthen the fixation - ceramic tile adhesive, which is a kind of glue that can accomplish this goal.
Tile adhesive is a liquid adhesive that can be applied directly to the back of the tile. After applying the adhesive, cover it with cement mortar. It should be noted that the thickness of the cement mortar should not exceed 7mm in order to maximize the effect of the adhesive.
Tile adhesive is a very strong paving solution. It can not only assist in fixing the tiles, but also has a certain pulling effect on the cement mortar behind it. Ceramic tiles pasted with ceramic tile adhesive rarely have hollowing problems. This solution is currently the most popular method for installing large-size ceramic tiles on the wall.
04 Plan 4 Tile Adhesive
There is only one word different from tile adhesive, but they are completely different things. Tile adhesive is just a thin layer of glue, and cement mortar is still required as usual. When using tile adhesive, cement mortar can be completely eliminated.
You can think of tile adhesive as a mixture of glue and cement sand: when using, add water to mix it into a paste, and apply it on the back of the tile and the wall respectively. Then use a serrated scraper to scrape perpendicular grooves on the back of the tile and the wall to increase friction.
Finally, just stick the tiles on the wall: tile adhesive is stronger than tile adhesive, and the thickness of the paving is much thinner than cement mortar (including tile adhesive). Users who have requirements for thickness must not miss this treasure method.
05 Plan 5 Pendant Fixation
Do tiles always fall off? Then simply install a hook to hang it: the method of fixing the pendant is a bit like hanging a decorative painting. Install two hooks on the back of the tile to help secure the tile.
The method is to first make two small grooves on the back of the ceramic tile, with a depth of 3mm~5mm. Put the hook into the groove and stick it with marble glue - yes, the hook is glued to the tile.
After that, follow the construction method of tile adhesive on the back of the tile, apply adhesive on the back of the tile, spread a thin layer of cement mortar, and start paving. Generally, when the size of ceramic tiles exceeds 120mm×600mm, they need to be fixed with pendants or directly use tile adhesive for construction.
06 Plan 6: Fine wood board, structural adhesive
Large-size ceramic tiles on the background wall make construction easier. When making background walls, you need to use thin wooden boards.
We can first fix the thin wooden boards on the wall (with nails) and make a rough shape.
Reuse structural adhesive to stick large-sized ceramic tiles to thin wooden boards. Placing ceramic tiles on wooden boards is much more convenient than laying ceramic tiles on cement surfaces. Ordinary structural adhesive is enough to ensure stability.
The biggest drawback of this is that the ceramic tiles cannot bear load and are afraid of water. It is very likely that the tiles will be broken when bumped, and the thin wooden boards behind them will deform when exposed to water. Therefore, this most trouble-free solution is only suitable for background walls and cannot be used in other scenarios.
