We all know that it is necessary to seam ceramic tiles. The gaps between ceramic tiles that have not been seamed will inevitably look dirty. In the past, when we seamed the floor, we would have thought of seaming agents and the like, but you didn’t know. , if you want to know that metal strips are already popular in Tile Beautiful Seams, let’s follow Zhongtao Jun to find out more!
1. What is a metal bar?
1. What is a metal bar
In terms of practicality, because it is made of metal, the second advantage is that it is not easily deformed. Unlike materials such as white cement and resin caulking agents, once it turns black or falls off, you will definitely have to ask a master to redo it, which is troublesome and expensive. The life of metal strips is very long.
2. How to construct metal strips
In fact, construction is not as difficult as everyone thinks! You can embed the metal strips while laying the tiles, or you can lay the tiles and then embed the metal strips. Some friends here may ask, if the reserved gap is large or small, wouldn’t it be embarrassing if the metal strips cannot be embedded or there are gaps? Friends, do you know that there is a thing called a sewing artifact (that is, a plastic cross). According to the width of the metal strip you choose (widths are available from 2 to 8mm, 8.7 to 15mm), choose the corresponding size Just use a cross to ensure that the gaps reserved for the tiles are even in size.
If you choose the latter construction method, there are other issues that need to be noted. Unlike L-shaped metal bars, T-shaped metal bars can be insertedIn order to prevent loosening or falling off caused by improper construction by some masters, it is not enough to fix the anchor feet with hard-coated mortar. It is recommended to use caulking glue with strong adhesion to fix them again.
2. Why do ceramic tiles need beautiful seams
1. There are errors in the size of ceramic tiles
Although ceramic tiles are now mechanized production, there will be certain dimensional errors in the product production process. If no seams are left, the joints will be uneven when the ceramic tiles are laid, which will affect the appearance of the ceramic tiles.
2. Ceramic tiles have thermal expansion and contraction problems
Ceramic tiles and the cement mortar pasted on them will have the problem of thermal expansion and contraction. During the process of temperature or moderate changes, the tiles and cement mortar will expand and contract to a certain extent. If no seams are left, it will cause the tiles to expand and contract during later use. Bulging or cracking occurs.
3. Workers have errors in construction
The laying of ceramic tiles is a construction project with a very high degree of proficiency. During the entire laying process, it is impossible for workers to completely lay every tile without errors.
4. Beautiful
The decorative effect is particularly strong after the ceramic tiles are seamed. The caulking agent is made of high-tech new polymer materials + high-grade pigments and special additives. It is different from white cement and color caulking agents (dry powder cement materials + low-grade pigments) which are mainly composed of inorganic materials. It is rich in color, natural and delicate, and has luster. When matched with ceramic tiles of different colors, it can bring a better overall decorative effect to the home.
5. Environmental protection
The materials used are advanced, non-toxic, odorless, and do not contain benzene, toluene, xylene and other harmful ingredients. Not only is it non-toxic and harmless, but it can also effectively prevent the growth of bacteria after use, making your beautiful home warmer and more comfortable, making you and your family more comfortable.People's lives are healthier and more environmentally friendly.
