Wall tiles have long been nothing new. Wall tiles have become a popular decoration method in recent years. Many homeowners are recommended to use floor tiles as wall tiles when they purchase ceramic tiles. A consistent choice of tiles on the wall, they feel personality, fashion, in line with their own aesthetic standards. Some are used to decorate walls such as TV background walls and sofa walls, while others are used in kitchens and bathroom walls. So, tiles on the wall, OK it? Sometimes when we choose the decoration materials, we should not be too capricious. Considering the actual use and safety is the most important thing. Maybe many people have not realized the problem of the wall on the floor tiles. This is also a lot of renovations for the owners. There are some questions. Here I will tell you about the good or bad of the brick on the floor and the construction of the tiles on the wall construction precautions.
| First, the brick case on the wall analysis: |
In order to maintain color harmony, Ms. Wang of Beijing used the same style of floor tiles for kitchens, bathrooms, and other rooms when she renovated the room. However, after using it for a period of time, she discovered that the “wall on the floor tile†is aesthetically pleasing, but it is not practical. Affected by the characteristics of the floor tiles, once the brick surface is stained, it is particularly difficult to clean.
At the moment, the concept of personality has penetrated into all aspects and corners of home decoration. Tiles are used as materials for large areas, and their styles, colors, and even paving methods all require individuality. The use of floor tiles as wall tiles is a popular way of pasting in the past two years. That is to say, tiles are cut after arbitrary cutting. This method does indeed reflect the design personality to some extent. However, not all tiles can be used as wall tiles. A certain brand tile sales manager Li Xian told reporters that, strictly speaking, wall tiles are ceramic products, floor tiles are porcelain products, both from the choice of clay ingredients to firing process are very different, so the water absorption rate is different. Among them, the water absorption rate of wall tiles is about 10%, and that of floor tiles is only 1%. The ground of the bathroom and kitchen often needs to be washed with water, so tiles with low water absorption rate should be laid, so that the tiles are not easily affected by water vapor, nor can they absorb stains easily. The wall tiles are made of glazed ceramics and have a high moisture content and are not easy to clean. The back surface is generally rough, which is conducive to the wall tiles sticking more firmly to the wall. Therefore, it is best not to mix wall tiles and floor tiles, otherwise it is likely to bring unnecessary security risks to life.
| Second, the advantages of tiles on the wall |
Tiles on the wall is now a popular way of paving, especially since the construction of houses or villas, you can let the atmosphere, beautiful, some grades.
| Third, the shortcomings of the wall on the floor tiles |
The physical characteristics of wall tiles and floor tiles are different. The water absorption rate of wall tiles is about 10%, while that of floor tiles is only 1%. The water absorption rate of the floor tiles is far lower than that of the wall tiles, which is likely to cause empty drums; the wall tiles are glazed tiles and are easier to clean; the labor cost of the walls on the floor tiles is high and the construction is difficult.
| Four, on the brick wall construction precautions |
Although the wall on the floor tile is beautiful and graded, it may cause dangers such as emptying or even falling. Let's take a look at the construction precautions on the floor tiles and try to avoid these problems.
1. To see if the wall is suitable for paving ceramic tiles, check whether there is hollowing, cracking, whether the wall is waterproof, and whether the hair removal treatment is qualified. If it exists, it needs to be rectified and then tiled.
2. When using cement mortar to tile the wall, the wall surface must be brushed to increase the contact area between the wall and the tile.
3. Determine the level of the tiles. The tiles that will be used for paving will be fixed and supported with wood, etc. to prevent the tiles that have just been paved from falling.
4. When the wall is too dry, there may be delamination of the tile and cement mortar. The wall should be moistened one day in advance.
5. If cement mortar is used as a binder, in order to avoid empty drums, cement mortar should be placed on the back of the brick.
6. When paving, one wall should not be tiled once to the top, and it can be layered one by one. If the whole wall is tiled, it may fall and fall.
7, the tile is not dry can not be hooking treatment, this will cause the tiles loose, uneven.
8. After the paving is completed, check and check if there is empty drum and other problems. If there is no problem, proceed with the subsequent installation.
| Fifth, the reason that floor tiles are not recommended for use as wall tiles |
1. The problem of adhesion to cement or adhesives is that the pores of the porcelain blank are more conducive to adhesion; and the water absorption of the tiles is much lower than that of the tiles, which easily causes the water absorption rate of the hollow drum tiles to be far lower than the wall tiles. , Plastering on the wall can easily cause empty drums. After a long time, the bricks are easily detached and there are hidden dangers.
2. Is the floor tile good or bad? Strictly speaking, wall tiles are pottery products and floor tiles are porcelain products. Both have great differences in the selection of clay ingredients and firing techniques, and therefore have different water absorption rates. Among them, the water absorption rate of wall tiles is about 10%, and that of floor tiles is only 1%. The ground of the bathroom and kitchen often needs to be washed with water, so tiles with low water absorption rate should be laid, so that the tiles are not easily affected by water vapor, nor can they absorb stains easily. The wall tiles are made of glazed ceramics and have a high moisture content and are not easy to clean. The back surface is generally rough, which is conducive to the wall tiles sticking more firmly to the wall. Therefore, it is best not to mix wall tiles and floor tiles, otherwise it is likely to bring unnecessary security risks to life.
3, wall tiles are generally glazed tiles, smoother than the floor tiles, easier to clean up, at this point, the wall on the bathroom floor is not yet a big impact, but the impact on the kitchen is very large, the kitchen is heavy oil pollution, Easy cleaning is the focus of kitchen decoration.
4, wall tiles and floor tiles in the paving method are also different. Because the wall brick has a high moisture content, it should be fully watered and immersed before sticking. It is better to soak for more than 2 hours before construction, so as to prevent the moisture of the mortar from being quickly absorbed by the dry base and tiles and quickly condense, thereby affecting Bonding fastness. At the same time, the wall tiles will absorb moisture from the cement so that the cement cannot function as an adhesive. In addition, there is a difference in the water absorption rate of different brand wall tiles, which depends on the experience of construction personnel.
5. It is difficult to lay the wall on the floor tiles, and the corresponding artificial expense for the paving is also high, which virtually increases the decoration costs. In particular, the large-scale floor tiles on the wall will make the budget for the decoration excessive. Easy to drop bricks can be dangerous.
Editor's summary: Regarding whether the wall on the floor tile is good or bad, everyone has read the article and got a certain understanding, but overall, Xiaobian feels that the brick wall is not desirable. Everyone needs to consider safety issues while pursuing beauty. What kind of decoration materials will be selected for future house decoration, and although this decoration method is more beautiful, it is still recommended to choose a professional wall tile to prevent it from happening.
