In the bathroom, the walls and floors are tiled.
Because the bonding method and sequence of wall and floor tiles are different, there are two forms: "ground pressed wall" and "wall pressed floor".
The treatment of wall tiles and floor tiles in these two bathrooms is very different, and many friends may not know.
Here, I would like to remind you not to make a mistake between the ground and the wall, the difference between the two is too great, and it can even cause water leakage, this is my advice.
What is a "ground pressure wall"?
Maybe many of you don't quite understand the meaning of crushing the wall.
Therefore, I will first introduce you to the characteristics and specific practices of in-ground pressure walls, as well as their advantages and disadvantages.
Because only by understanding this, we can better compare with the wall and the floor, and get the results we want.
1. Features
A floor pressure plate is when one side of the floor tile is pressed against the wall. It looks like tiles against a brick wall.
Therefore, the toilet floor tile floor pressure wall has the following characteristics:
Usually the brick wall is pasted first, then the tile, then the tile, so that the tile fits snugly against the wall.
There should be a certain amount of space between the tiles. This crack is vertical, separated from top to bottom, and we call it a vertical crack.
2. Advantages and disadvantages
In fact, ground pressure walls also have their advantages and disadvantages, and many times there will be different techniques, all of which have been tested.
I think the following advantages and disadvantages can be achieved by tiling the floor pressure board in the toilet.
1. Advantages
The order in which the tiles are applied is relatively easy to control. When laying tiles, the wall should first be attached to the wall, and the wall can be laid only after it is dry. This is also a normal procedure.
The stubble part is easier to process. Since it is the last layer of tiles, the gap between this tile and the tile is very easy to fill.
2. Disadvantages
Not very pretty. Because after the tile is pressed against the wall, you will notice that one of the tiles on the wall has been gnawed off, so it does not look very good after the seam.
Leaks may occur. This crack in particular, once a crack appears, water can seep into it, causing leakage.
What is "wall pressing"?
It is also popular to use wall presses in bathrooms.
The wall is on the floor, which can be said to be a common practice of wall tiles and floor tiles in the bathroom. Many renovation companies do this.
From this point, it can be seen that the wall pressure method has attracted more and more attention.
1. Features
The wall of the toilet tile is pressed to the bottom of the tile, which means that the bottom side of the tile is covered with tiles.
Finally, the overall wall and floor tiles can be well integrated together to achieve better results.
It has a good aesthetic effect. Since the wall is against the floor, you will find that the transition from tile to tile is natural and works well.
The requirements for the construction are quite high. As for the wall pressing the floor, it is generally pasted with wall tiles first, then a piece is left unpasted, then tiles, and finally the bottom wall.
2. Advantages and disadvantages
It is a common practice to stick to the wall on the floor of the bathroom. However, it has its drawbacks, but its advantages are obvious.
Therefore, the home miscellaneous altar summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of the bathroom wall flooring. Something like this.
1. Advantages
High aesthetics and high harmony. The so-called "beautiful" means that when you walk into the bathroom, you will find that the entire bathroom is made of a single tile, which works very well.
It is more conducive to the play of waterproofness. That is to say, after the wall is compacted, it will not affect the waterproofing, and there will be no cracks and leakage, and the waterproof effect will be better.
2. Disadvantages
construction difficulties; The project was carried out in two stages, the first step was to lay the wall, the second was to lay the bricks, and the third was to lay the bricks.
After the walls are all dry, the last tile is pasted. If you don't handle it properly, you will see that the bottom piece of tile may have cracked.
What is the difference between "wall pressing the ground" and "pressing the ground against the wall"?
The above is the introduction of the bathroom floor and wall flooring.
In fact, from this point of view, both ways can be done. There is only one type of material required, and that is the difference in the paving process.
Whatever the reason. All should follow the tile laying process. During the construction of the project, there can be no changes to avoid potential safety hazards.
I would recommend using walls and floors instead. This is because, the ground has one benefit over the ground pressure wall.
1. There will be no water accumulation
The bathroom floor is tiled, and the advantage of using wall pressing is that there will be no water accumulation at the bottom of the wall.
Although the bathroom is laid with floor tiles, the floor drain is sloped according to the need. Because of the way it is laid, you will find that the walls of the toilet are prone to water accumulation for many times.
There is water on the walls of the bathroom mainly for several reasons.
The tiles in the bathroom were removed and the tiles were pressed underneath, so the slope here became very low. In general, these reasons are caused by unreasonable construction techniques.
The nature of the ground pressure wall itself is determined. Because the floor tiles are all attached to the wall in the end, if it is not done well, you will find that the slope of the toilet is incorrect, and the corners of the wall are the steepest.
Practical Guidance:
The last tile on the wall of the bathroom had to be put on a week later than the other floor tiles. The top layer is to be dried thoroughly.
When laying floor tiles in the bathroom, it is necessary to find the right slope. The slope of the foot of the wall should never be reduced to the lowest point to avoid water accumulation.
Second, the tile rarely cracks
There is a place in the bathroom tile that is easy to crack.
I wonder if you've noticed this?
In fact, this is the lowest level of toilets.
And the reason for this is because of the way ordinary floor pressure plates are used.
Floor pressure plate, when the wall is fitted, all walls are formed at one time. In other words, all the floor tiles are pasted from the bottom up. As a result, the top tile may sink and squeeze the lowest tile, causing cracks.
On the floor plate, cracks occur in the floor tiles and wall tiles. In fact, this is also caused by the sagging of the tiles and the excessive spacing between the floor tiles.
Practical Guidance:
Whether it's a floor-pressed wall or a wall-pressed floor, I recommend that you build a brick wall all at once. The bottom tiles will take about a week to re-lay.
For the tiles and all cracks in the wall are a single tile. These cracks are not cut from the floor tiles, and if they were, they would be ugly when opened.
3. There is very little water leakage
The floor tiles of the bathroom are wall-to-floor, and its third advantage is that it is not easy to leak.
In fact, many friends don't realize that there is a problem with the toilet floor tiles, which can easily cause water leakage.
As long as there is no problem with the gap between the tiles and the floor tiles, then the bathroom will not leak.
The use of ground pressure plate, there are generally the following problems:
Moving the wall downwards will cause huge cracks to occur between the walls. When cracks occur, the waterproofing properties are broken, causing leaks.
After laying floor tiles, there is a risk of damaging the waterproofing material in the process. Most of the leaks that occur in the later stages of waterproofing are damaged.
Therefore, the floor tiles of the bathroom are pressed against the floor by the wall, which can also play a role in waterproofing, and will not have such a problem like the floor pressure board.
Practical Guidance:
For the floor tiles in the bathroom, it is best to use the wall to cover the floor first. However, it is necessary to first meet the adhesive strength of the brick wall, and then lay the floor tiles, so as to achieve the best effect.
Bathroom tiles, if it is a floor pressure board, it is recommended that you must pay attention to the protection of the waterproof layer. Then use beauty glue to treat the gaps between the wall tiles.
Review:
The wall and floor tiles of the bathroom are actually very good after the wall pressing and floor pressing board are done.
However, due to the lack of strict construction technology of the ground pressure wall, many problems of the ground pressure wall have been caused, therefore, more and more people choose the ground pressure wall.
Therefore, when pasting toilet floor tiles and floor tiles, it is best to understand these treatment processes first to avoid problems.
