Tile adhesive and cement tile are two commonly used ceramic tile paving materials. Choosing which way to use to pave tiles is a number of factors to consider, this article will make a detailed comparison from the aspects of construction convenience, durability and construction cost, hoping to provide some reference for you when purchasing ceramic tile paving materials.
Compared with cement tiles, the ceramic tile laying method is more convenient and fast. To use tile adhesive, you only need to brush the glue evenly on the ground and then apply the tile directly to it, without waiting for the drying time. The cement tile needs to be evenly applied to the ground first, and then the tile is paved after curing, and the whole process takes a long time. In addition, tile adhesive is not easy to stain the surrounding environment during construction, and it will not produce obvious odors, so it is more suitable for interior decoration.
From the perspective of durability, tile adhesive is better than cement tiles. Tile adhesive has good tensile strength and peeling resistance, which can enhance the adhesion of tiles, make the tiles firmly adhere to the ground, and have good durability. The adhesion of cement tiles is weak, and it is easy to have problems such as hollowing and cracking, which affects the paving effect and service life. As a result, tile adhesives are suitable for use in places where high durability is required, such as wet environments such as kitchens and bathrooms.
In terms of construction costs, tile adhesive is higher than cement tiles. The ** of tile adhesive is relatively high, and because there is no need to wait for the cement to cure during construction, it can save some construction time and increase the cost of workers' man-hours. The cement tile ** is lower, although the construction process is time-consuming, but the cost of man-hours is low. Therefore, in the case of a limited budget, it may be more economical to choose cement tiles.
In general, the choice of tile adhesive paving can save construction time, ensure the paving effect and service life, and be suitable for high-quality decoration; The choice of cement tiles can reduce the construction cost and is suitable for situations with limited budgets. In the actual choice, you need to consider your own needs and budget, choose the right way to pave tiles.
Tile adhesive and cement tile have their own advantages and disadvantages. Tile adhesive is convenient for construction and good durability, suitable for high-quality decoration; Cement tile construction cost is low, suitable for situations with limited budget. When choosing, you need to make a reasonable choice based on your own needs and budget.
