Floor tile is an essential building material in the decoration of every family. The quality of floor tile laying will directly affect the quality of home decoration. Now many families use a master to lay the floor tiles, but sometimes you need to do it yourself. Next, follow us to understand the daily simple method of the floor tile paving process, I hope to help you.
The first step, floor tile soaking
Clean the floor tiles first and soak them for more than 2 hours. Soaking is to let the floor tile fully absorb enough water, so as not to absorb the water in the material after the completion of the paving, resulting in the lack of adhesive water, affecting the adhesion firmness, resulting in hollow drum, fall off. The floor tile needs to be removed from the water and wiped off the surface moisture after it is fully immersed in water and before it begins to lay, in order to lay.
The second step, set the auxiliary line
Before the start of the shop paste in the wall screed layer hanging vertical line, used to determine the wall size line of the floor tile. Then set the horizontal line, so that you can ensure that the floor tiles remain horizontal and vertical and the surface is flat.
The third step, set up the supporting board
When the floor tile is pasted, it is necessary to take the horizontal line as the criterion and set the wooden board that can play a supporting role on the floor tile to prevent the floor tile from displacing or falling before reaching the adhesive strength.
The fourth step, in order to lay paste
The paving of floor tiles generally starts from the doors and Windows (or balconies), from top to bottom, from left to right. The specific paving method is: first moisten the screed layer, use a shovel to paste slurry (or other adhesive) on the back of the tile, and then paste the floor tile on the wall, and then use a shovel handle or rubber hammer to tap the floor tile, so that the sand slurry is filled with the space between the wall and the floor tile.
Note that the mouth should be aligned with the horizontal line. If it is uneven, it can be adjusted by placing small pieces of wood under the floor tile. Stick after a line to use the ruler horizontal, leveling. Hammer the higher part flat and fill the concave part again to make sure it is flush. The adhesive material should not be too thick or too thin. Too thick to spread, too thin to stick.
The fifth step, cleaning, maintenance
The stains and dust on the surface of the floor tile need to be cleaned in time. Here are some cleaning and maintenance methods. In the surface pollution is serious, especially with some difficult to remove stains can use 10% concentration of dilute hydrochloric acid solution to wipe. If using dilute hydrochloric acid cleaning, be sure to use running water rinse again. After the floor enamel cleaning is completed, a thin layer of bilizol brightener can be sprayed on the surface and wiped again with a soft cloth to keep the surface of the tile bright and not easy to be polluted.
