Tile adhesive is a commonly used brick and tile paving material, which has good adhesion and water resistance, which can ensure that the tile is fixed on the wall or floor. The correct use of tile adhesive can not only improve the construction effect, but also prolong the service life of the tile. The following will introduce in detail the use of ceramic tile adhesive, including surface treatment, adhesive construction and precautions.
Before using tile adhesive, the necessary treatment of the wall or floor should be carried out first. First of all, make sure that the surface of the substrate is flat, clean, and firm, and that there are no visible cracks and uneven parts. Secondly, if there are impurities such as floating ash and oil stains on the surface, you should clean it first and make sure that the surface is dry.
Adhesive construction is a key step in the use of tile adhesive, and the following points need to be noted. First, follow the instructions on the adhesive wrapper, pour the adhesive into clean water and stir well until a homogeneous paste is formed. Second, use a scraper to evenly apply the adhesive backing to the back of the tiles to ensure that there is enough adhesive backing on each tile. Then, apply the evenly coated tile to the surface of the substrate that has been treated, and gently tap it with a rubber hammer to make full contact between the tile and the substrate to ensure that the tile is firmly attached. Finally, use a scraper to fill the gaps between the tiles with adhesive backing to ensure consistency throughout the tiling process.
In the process of using tile adhesive, you also need to pay attention to the following points. First of all, choose the right adhesive according to the different types and uses of the adhesive. The quality and scope of application of different adhesives are different, and they need to be selected according to the specific situation. Secondly, the construction environment should be well ventilated during the construction of the adhesive to avoid harm to human health due to the harmful substances contained in the adhesive. In addition, after the adhesive construction is completed, the necessary maintenance should be carried out to avoid moving the tiles before the glue is dry.
Summary: The use of ceramic tile adhesive is very important, through the correct surface treatment, adhesive construction and compliance with precautions, the quality and service life of tiling can be guaranteed. Hopefully, the above content will help you in the use of tile adhesives.
