The difference water absorption between floor tile and wall tile

According to paving place, Interior tiles can be departed into wall tiles and floor tiles. Strictly speaking, the wall tiles belong to ceramic products, floor tiles are usually ceramic products, their physical properties are different. Both are very different, brick from the choice of ingredients to the clay firing process. Wall tiles about water absorption is about 10%, water absorption ratio is only 1% of the floor tile to be several times higher. Bathroom and kitchen on the ground should be laying low water absorption floor tile, because the ground will often wash with plenty of water, so water vapor from the impact of tile can��t absorb stains. Wall is glazed earthenware, moisture content is relatively high. It is generally rougher on the back, which is also conducive to adhesive wall tiles affixed to the wall. Tile is not easy firmly on the wall, wall tile with too much water in the ground will become difficult to clean, we can see the wall, floor tile can��t be mixed.

Looking for flat shop front

Tiling should be clean before the primary, such as lime paste on the wall, paint, wallpaper and other decorative objects, or dirt on the ground, must be clean, otherwise the bond is not strong with the primary cement mortar; In addition, if the walls themselves cracks should be done only after proper treatment tiling, so that the basic structure of the larger cracks in brick walls lead to cracking or peeling; Also, for the degree of flatness or a large gap between the vertical ground, walls, but also with cement mortar for leveling process.

Laying order should be particular

Tile shall be affixed to the inside out, paste, such as sloping ground or floor drain child, you should pay attention to the direction of looking at the drainage slope; wall tiling from the bottom up, for the sake of appearance, after the bottom of the brick should be posted. After the pressure had finished wall tiles, in case of a half brick, should be placed below. In addition, a wall can not reach the peak of a paste, to prevent tile greater weight, causing collapse.

Wall tile should be fully immersed

Brick wall has a high moisture content, before the paste must take this feature into account. Tiling should be fully watering the grass-roots moist before paving, tiles should be soaked in water for at least 20 minutes before use. Otherwise, the mortar is dry water the grass roots and the rapid absorption and rapid condensation of tile, will affect its adhesion fastness. From the cement in the wall will absorb moisture, so that the cement paste can��t play the role of agents. In addition, each brand wall tile is not the same water absorption of l, this depends on experience to master
