Tell me that tile beautifiers are very popular now? But when you go to the building materials market and ask, many prices are really not cheap. So is seam sealant easy to use or not? What is the effect?
1. What is a ceramic tile grout? Why leave a seam?
The simplest explanation for the beautiful seams of ceramic tiles is to fill the gaps between the tiles. So why should we leave seams? The main reason for leaving seams is to consider three factors:
(1) 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 ceramic tiles and cement mortar will expand and contract to a certain extent. If no seams are left, the ceramic tiles will be used later. bulging or cracking may occur during the process.
(2) There is an error in the size of the tiles
Although ceramic tiles are now mechanized production, there will be certain dimensional errors during the product production process. If no seams are left, the joints of the ceramic tiles will be uneven during laying, which will affect the appearance of the ceramic tiles.
(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 each brick without errors. In addition, owners are reminded that the effect of tiles laid at different times and under different circumstances will be different. If no seams are left, it is also difficult to ensure the straightness of the joints of the tiles, thus affecting the continuity of the tiles.
2. What is the appropriate size of the gap between ceramic tiles?
Regarding this issue, there is no unified standard. In addition to satisfying the factors of thermal expansion and contraction of the ceramic tile itself, it also needs to be determined based on the decorative effect of the ceramic tile paving. The following are some common ceramic tile gap sizes for your reference:
(1) Generally speaking, the size of the gap left in the wall tiles of the kitchen and bathroom should be about 1-1.5mm, not less than 1mm. You can use air nails or packaging bags as a reference.
(2) Special effects can also widen the gap, such as 5mm, etc. For example, some antique bricks, exterior wall tiles, and balcony strip tiles are better to leave wide seams.
(3) When laying floor tiles, such as vitrified tiles, the seams are generally left at about 1.5-2mm.
3. What are the benefits of seaming agent?
1. Beautiful
The decorative effect is particularly strong after the ceramic tiles are seamed. The caulking agent is made of epoxy resin, curing agent, and color powder. It is different from white cement and color caulking agent (dry powder cement material + low-grade pigment), which is 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.
2. Practical
The caulking agent has the characteristics of cold resistance, heat resistance and impact resistance. Use the caulking agent to make beautiful seams on ceramic tiles. After solidification, the surface will be as smooth as porcelain. It has high strength, wear resistance, does not stick to dirt, and has excellent self-cleaning properties. It is easy to clean, can be wiped clean with a single wipe, and can be scrubbed together with ceramic tiles; it is not easy to trap dirt and evil people and practices, preventing mold from breeding in gaps and endangering human health.
3. Durable
The seaming agent is also waterproof, mildew-proof, and anti-fading. After the ceramic tile seams are seamed, it has the characteristics of waterproof, moisture-proof, and anti-penetration, which can truly make the ceramic tile seams "never turn black."
4. Environmental protection
You can live a healthy and environmentally friendly life after the ceramic tiles are beautifully seamed. The caulking agent is a new environmentally friendly product. It uses advanced materials, is non-toxic, odorless, and does not contain harmful ingredients such as benzene, toluene, and xylene. It can make your beautiful home warmer and more comfortable, and make you and your family's life healthier and more environmentally friendly.
5. Save money
To make caulking + caulking agent, use caulking agent as base and leave about 2mm as caulking agent, which saves money and benefits!
Recommended uses of the caulking agent: beautifying gaps in various home spaces, residences, hotels, commercial places, floors, corners, edges, toilets, kitchen countertops, shower room partitions, balconies, window sills, etc.
