Is it good to lay tiles on wooden floors? What will happen if you lay tiles on wooden floors?

We all know that floor decoration is also a very important part, especially the laying of floor tiles and wooden boards. Some people will lay tiles in their homes, while others will lay wooden floors, which will have different decoration effects. So can you lay tiles on wooden floors? Let's take a closer look!

Can you lay tiles on wooden floors?

It is not allowed to lay tiles on wooden floors. The surface of wooden floors is painted, and the bottom layer is wood. Such a surface does not have adhesion. According to the laying structure of tiles, there are no prerequisites for laying on wooden floors.

Ceramic tile paving requires cement mortar, but the moisture of cement mortar does not meet the dry requirements of wooden floors. Before paving ceramic tiles, the base must be sufficiently moist to ensure its firmness.

The prerequisite for laying tiles is that the base must be firm and strong and can bond with cement mortar. Only in this way can the laying quality be guaranteed. The laying methods of floor tiles can be mainly divided into "wet laying" or "dry laying", the difference lies in the ratio of cement to water and the different content of adhesives and glue used. No matter which method is used, the base will become damp, and the wooden floor will deform when it encounters dampness, and the laying quality of floor tiles cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, the prerequisite for laying tiles on the wooden floor is not met.

Adverse reactions to tiling on wooden floors

1. The surface of the wooden floor is painted, and cement mortar is needed to lay tiles. The two materials cannot adhere to each other. If you forcibly lay tiles on the wooden floor, the entire tile floor will become hollow and delaminated, and the quality cannot be guaranteed at all.

2. Directly laying wooden floors will increase the height of the floor if you lay tiles, and normally you need to subtract 5 cm from the thickness of the tiles. This will directly lower the floor height and make the room very depressing, which is something many people cannot accept.

3. While laying tiles on the wooden floor increases the height, it will make it impossible to open the wooden door that can be opened normally. The distance between the wooden door and the ground will be reduced, and the wooden door needs to be reprocessed and its original shape changed, which affects the overall proportion of the wooden door and directly affects its aesthetic effect.

4. If the original wooden floor has been used for many years or the quality was average when it was purchased, then the quality will become worse after all these years of use. The service life of the wooden floor has been reached and many quality problems will arise if it continues to be used.

5. Water must be used when laying tiles on wooden floors, and the nemesis of wood is that there cannot be water. As long as there is water, the wooden floor will deform, bulge or rot. When the wooden floor meets water, it will expand and crack the tiles on it. Therefore, laying tiles on this base will definitely have quality problems.

Standard construction steps for laying tiles on wooden floors

1. Remove the original wooden floor and clean it up;

2. After cleaning the ground, sprinkle water to ensure the moisture content of the original ground;

3. Apply cement slurry to the ground to increase its adhesion;

4. Spread out the 1:2.5 cement mortar and level it using a level ruler for the first leveling;

5. According to the paving space of the whole floor tile, determine the starting position of the first tile to ensure that the first position seen by the eyes is the whole tile, so that the paving effect is more beautiful and tiles can be saved;

6. Lay the floor tiles on the cement mortar and use a rubber hammer to hammer them firmly and flush with the first reference tile;

7. After the floor tiles are firmly hammered, check the levelness, then pick up the floor tiles to see if there are any areas where the mortar is insufficient or uneven, and sprinkle mortar to fill them up;

8. Continue to tap the floor tiles until they are level, check whether the ground mortar is full, and then evenly apply a layer of plain cement slurry on the back of the floor tiles;

9. Lay the cement-coated floor tiles on the adjusted cement mortar, and then knock and level them;

10. Clean the cement mortar dust on the floor tiles and in the gaps;

11. The floor tiles are laid.
