The decorator knows that there should be seams in the middle of the tiles, because the tiles will have the problem of thermal expansion and contraction, and even the same batch of tiles, there will be a certain size error, so when laying tiles, all the seams must be left in the middle. , So that the construction workers are also convenient to adjust. So what size gap is suitable for ceramic tiles? How to use the beauty joint agent correctly? Let's let Vantoni, the manufacturer of Wuhan beauty joint agent construction company, tell you.

   1. How large is the gap between the tiles?

   In fact, there is no uniform standard for the gaps reserved for tiles, because the gaps must not only meet the thermal expansion and contraction factors of the tiles themselves, but also need to be combined with the decorative effects of the tile paving. The common situations are as follows:

  1. Generally speaking, the size of the gap between the wall tiles of the kitchen and bathroom should be about 1-1.5mm, not less than 1mm. Air nails or packaging bags can be used as reference objects. Special effects can also widen the gap, such as 5mm. Like some antique bricks, exterior wall bricks, balcony strip bricks, it is better to leave wide seams.

  2. Special effects can also widen the gap, such as 5mm. Like some antique bricks or exterior wall bricks, balcony strip bricks, it is better to leave wide seams.

  3. Floor tiles, such as vitrified tiles, are generally left at about 1.5-2mm when paving.

   2. How to use the beautifying agent correctly?

   Tile gaps will also affect the appearance of the ground and walls, so many people use beautifying agents to beautify them. Generally speaking, there are two ways to use beautifying agents:

   1. Put the seam agent into the glue gun, and then slowly force the material into the seam evenly. After one piece (about 0.2 meters) is made, first block the material nozzle with a wooden wedge, and then use a small scraper Use your child or your fingers to smooth the seam agent immediately, and wipe off the overflowing material on both sides of the brick joint with a moist sponge. Be sure to wipe it off before the seam agent is solidified. After each wipe, the sponge should be cleaned with water so that it can be used continuously. If the seam width is more than 3mm and the beautifying agent filled into the tile joints is relatively uniform, then there is no need to scrape the beautifying agent and let it level automatically.

  2. Leave a gap of 1 mm deep. Before applying the beauty grout, use a rag or a fine brush to clean the dust and other magazines in the gap. Paste textured paper on both sides of the seam. The texture paper should be about 0.5mm away from the edge of the gap. Install the beautifying agent on the glue gun and drive it evenly along the brick seam. Construction is about 1 meter, and immediately spread it evenly with your fingers or a small scraper; when the beauty joint agent is not solidified (approximately 1 meter), remove the masking paper.
