How to make the gray edge of wall tiles well

1. First, clean the back of the pre-selected tiles and soak them in water for more than 2 hours. The purpose of soaking is to allow the tiles to absorb water in advance to avoid absorbing moisture from the adhesive material after paving, which will affect the bonding strength or cause the adhesive material to shrink excessively, resulting in hollowing, debonding, etc.

2. After the tiles are soaked in water, they should be taken out of the water before paving, and the surface moisture should be wiped off with cotton cloth or the surface moisture should be dried before paving.

3. Before paving, you should hang a plumb line on the wall leveling layer to determine the size of the tiles out of the wall and draw a horizontal line, so that the surface can be flat and the tiles can be horizontal and vertical when paving.

4. Ensure that the base surface is firm, flat, clean, free of pollution, loose objects, hollows, etc. The surface with curing agent, release agent and relatively smooth concrete surface needs to be roughened before construction.

5. Use a toothed scraper to evenly apply the glue on the work surface, about 1 square meter each time, and then press the tile on the work surface.

6. Depending on the contamination of the entire tile wall, the surface can be scrubbed with clean water.

How to maintain and clean bathroom wall tiles

1. Loose and falling tiles in bathroom

This is because the cement mortar used for pasting tiles is not strong enough and is in a humid environment for a long time, so it is easy to loosen and fall off. Solution: Use resin-type adhesive to paste tiles. The strength can not only reach or exceed the body strength of the tiles, but also will not cause falling off in a humid environment for a long time.

2. Bathroom tile stains

Bathroom tiles are often stained by grease, rust, soap scum, etc. In order to keep the porcelain surface clean without damaging the gloss of the porcelain surface, you can use a multi-functional decontamination paste to clean it. As for the gaps between tiles, you can first use a brush dipped in a little decontamination paste to remove the dirt, and then apply a layer of waterproofing agent on the gaps.

3. Use neutral detergent to clean bathroom stone

At present, the cleaning and disinfecting agents widely used in households contain chemical substances such as acid and alkali, which have a great impact on natural stone, and have adverse reactions to the surface color and internal mineral components of the stone. What is particularly serious is that most cleaning agents must react on the stone surface for at least five minutes to be effective. However, during this time, the cleaning agents have already damaged the stone. Therefore, cleaning agents with neutral pH values ​​should be used to clean the stone surface in the bathroom.

What kind of adhesive is used for wall tiles

1. Ordinary tile adhesive. Ordinary tile adhesive is suitable for sticking various floor tiles or small wall tiles on ordinary mortar surfaces.

2. Enhanced tile adhesive. It has relatively strong bonding and anti-falling force, and can play a good role in pasting wall tiles and non-mortar surfaces that require relatively high bonding strength, such as wood boards.

3. Heavy brick tile adhesive. This type of glue has strong bonding strength and is flexible. It can resist the stress caused by thermal expansion and contraction of the bonding layer. It can be used for large areas such as gypsum boards, fiberboards, plywood or old finishes.

Do I need to paint the wall before laying the wall tiles?

1. Before laying wall tiles, you need to apply wall fixer. Applying wall fixer can lay a good foundation for the wall. Especially when there is a large area of ​​sand or powder peeling on the wall, apply a layer of fixer and then lay tiles, it will be more firm.

2. If there is no problem with the wall, you can directly apply wall tiles. It is not necessary to apply wall glue before applying tiles. However, the editor recommends applying a layer of wall glue before applying tiles.

3. During the home decoration process, if the wall foundation is good, very flat, and the dryness and humidity are just right, then it will not have much impact if we do not apply wall primer. If the wall paint is peeling or dusty, we need to scrape off the wall paint, clean up the floating dust inside, and then apply a layer of wall primer to lay a good foundation for the wall before starting to lay tiles. This can extend the service life of the wall.
