Wall and floor decoration strategy

In modern room design, due to the waterproof, moisture-proof, wear-resistant and easy-to-clean features of tiles, they play an important role in decorative materials. How to choose and install the floor tiles is very important during the decoration process.
Choose floor tiles

When selecting the floor tiles, it should be screened according to the personal hobby and the functional requirements of the living room, according to the layout of the floor tiles, the color, texture and other aspects. The color and style of the floor tiles should match the overall space color. At the same time, when you choose the floor tiles, you can take six steps.

The first step: look at the glazed surface with pinholes, spots, glazed texture, with or without color;

Step 2: See if the tile is deformed and measure whether the two diagonal lines of the tile are equal;

The third step: look at the water absorption rate of the tile, use water droplets on the back of the brick, the smaller the diffusion area, the longer the drying time, the lower the water absorption rate, the better the quality;

The fourth step: listening to the sound, tapping the tile with your hand, the sharper the sound, the better the quality;

Step 5: Measure the weight, the heavier the weight, the better the texture;

The sixth step: unpacking inspection, pumping each box of different products, and seeing whether there is any color difference after tiling, whether the size is small or not.

Installing floor tiles

Dry-laying method: In theory, the floor tile should adopt the dry-laid method to wet the base layer and remove the floating sand and debris. Wipe the bonding layer, use one to three dry cement mortar, level the paving according to the horizontal line, put the brick on the mortar and vibrate with a rubber hammer, remove the floor brick and pour the cement slurry, and then level the floor bricks. . The dry-laying method effectively avoids the occurrence of bubbles and hollow drums caused by the floor tiles during the paving process. However, since the floor brick dry-laying method is relatively labor-intensive and technically high, the general dry-laid method is more wet than the wet-laid method. The cost of the law is much higher.

Wet shop method: It is a floor tile paving method commonly used by many home improvement owners. The difference between this process and the dry shop method is to replace one to three dry cement mortar with ordinary water and cement mortar. The tile floor with wet-laid method may produce empty drums and air bubbles, which affect the service life of the floor tiles. However, due to the simple operation and low price of the wet-laying method, many families still use the wet-laid method to lay the ground.
