Adhesive-backed tiles are a common way of tile construction that uses a special adhesive material to fix tiles to the wall or floor. This construction method is simpler and faster than traditional cement mortar pasting, and can provide better bonding effect. This article will introduce in detail the correct method of adhesive tiling, including preparation, glue selection, tile positioning, sizing and other links.
1. Preparations.
1.Clean the wall: Make sure the wall or floor is clean, level, and free of dust or oil stains. The walls can be wiped with a damp cloth and, if needed, cleaned with a dust collector or detergent.
2.Measurement and planning: Measure the size of the wall or floor that needs to be tiled, and make sure that the tiled area matches the size of the tile. Plan the arrangement of tiles according to the size and shape of the wall or floor to ensure that the overall effect is beautiful.
Second, glue selection.
1.Choose the right glue: Adhesive-backed tiles require the use of special glue, and there are usually two options: polymer glue and silicone rubber glue. Polymer glue is suitable for indoor use, and silicone rubber glue is suitable for outdoor or wet environments. Choose the right glue according to different construction needs.
2.Configure glue: Configure the powdered glue in proportion to the water according to the instructions for using the glue. Once stirred well, let it sit for a moment to thicken it.
3. Tile positioning.
1.Mark Guides: Use a spirit level and a measuring stick to draw up a guide line on the wall or floor to determine the horizontal position of the tiles. Use corner appliances in corners or corners to ensure tile fit.
2.Preparation before tiling: Use a guide line to divide the wall or floor into small pieces, and then apply adhesive to each area according to the divided area and tile size. A toothed trowel can be used to ensure an even thickness of the adhesive backing.
3.Tile positioning: Paste the tiles on the adhesive back according to the position of the reference line, making sure to align with the reference line. Use a tool such as a stick or rubber mace to gently tap the tile to make it conform to the adhesive backing and expel air.
Fourth, sizing. 1.Adhesive application: Use a toothed trowel to apply the adhesive evenly to tiles and walls or floors. Pay attention to the concentration of the adhesive backing and the thickness of the application to ensure that the tile can be firmly attached to the wall or floor.
2.Tiling: Attach the adhesive-backed tile to the wall or floor, making sure it aligns with the previously positioned position. Gently tap the tile with a stick or rubber mace so that it is completely attached to the adhesive backing and the air is expelled.
5. Check and fill in the gaps.
1.Clean up the excess adhesive: After pasting a small piece of tile, use a damp cloth or sponge to clean the excess adhesive in time to avoid being difficult to clean after drying.
2.Adhesive backing: If you find that a tile is not completely attached to the adhesive backing, you can use a brush or toothed trowel to apply the adhesive to the back of the tile or on the wall, and then apply the tile in its original position.
6. Maintenance. 1.Prevent collision: In the process of adhesive tiling, avoid excessive collision or pressure on the tile, so as not to damage the bonding effect of the tile.
2.Do not apply tiles before meals: After sticking tiles with adhesive backing, try to avoid touching water or force within 48 hours. It is not advisable to walk or place heavy objects in the tiled area for 48 hours after tiling.
3.Temperature and humidity control: During the adhesive tile application and the maintenance stage, try to control the temperature and humidity of the construction area to ensure the bonding effect of the tile.
Summary: Adhesive tile is a commonly used ceramic tile construction method, which can provide better bonding effect and construction efficiency. The method of correct construction of adhesive tiles includes preparation, glue selection, tile positioning, sizing and other links. In the construction process, it is necessary to keep the wall or ground clean and flat, choose the appropriate glue for adhesive tiling, and pay attention to the positioning of tiles and the uniformity of sizing. After the construction is completed, the excess adhesive should be cleaned up and supplemented in time, and maintenance measures should be taken to ensure the bonding effect of the tiles. Mastering the correct method of adhesive tiles can effectively improve the quality and efficiency of construction.
