    I believe that many people will have such a problem at home, the bathroom has a peculiar smell every day, how to deal with the peculiar smell or remain in the air, and can not find the reason, thinking that it is the reason why the toilet is not flushed。But many people don't know that the smell in the bathroom may be caused by the hollow tiles, so how to deal with the hollow tiles is more appropriate?

    First of all, why there will be tile hollowing, the plastering is not standard when paving, the time of tile soaking is short, and the cement mortar when paving is not full, which will cause tile hollowing, in fact, the most fundamental reason is to cut corners. If this situation is discovered, it should be remediated in time. Otherwise, the cracking of the tiles will cause the air to circulate, which will cause the odor in the bathroom to not be discharged, and it will also affect the appearance.

    If you find that the tiles are hollow, first clean up the dust and impurities in the gaps, if there are still tiles left over from the decoration at home, you can directly re-pave, or you can use Polly suction cups to suck down the cracked tiles and re-pave. After sucking it out, clean it first, then soak it thoroughly in water until it does not bubble, and then take it out and wait for it to dry. Or supervise the workers who paved the shop during the decoration at that time to avoid hollowing.

    So how can you prevent tile hollowing. The method is also very simple, hit the four sides of the tile with your hand, or hit the middle part, and if you listen carefully, it will make an "empty" sound, which is different from the sound of the glued tile. It may be that it was not glued when it was paved, but this method is only suitable for bathroom tiles, because the walls of the bathroom are solid, and this method is not suitable for use in the kitchen.

    Also a reminder to the owners who are being renovated.

    The most common problem for many people is that the bathroom tiles are hollow. You must know that the bathroom is a very important place in the home, what should you do if the tiles are hollow and accidentally fall down! In fact, the hollowing of bathroom tiles is also divided into situations, and the severity of different situations is also different!

    Let's talk about the reasons for the hollowing of bathroom tiles and what to do.

    The first is that the cement mortar under the tile is not covered and has obvious holes, resulting in hollowing. There will be noticeable gaps behind the tiles. This phenomenon usually occurs in the tiles of the walls.

    The most common is hollow corners. Of course, local gaps are also common. This phenomenon is often associated with the mason's craft; The second is that there is a thin separation between the tile and the cement.

    In this case, it is difficult to detect even after the tile has been removed, because the gap is too small to be noticeable after the tile is opened. The occurrence of this phenomenon is generally related to non-standard construction processes. For example, the water filling time of the tile is insufficient or not soaked with water, so the tile cannot be completely flooded, and the water in the cement layer separates the cement and the tile after the paving; The third is that the tile and cement are good, but there is a gap between the cement and the wall, and it is difficult to find a cracked cement layer in this case.

    The occurrence of this phenomenon is usually related to the developer's hunger construction process, such as the wall is not accepted, etc.; The fourth is that the walls are empty (except for the kitchen flue and the internal insulation wall), which means that the quality of the house is not very good. It belongs to the developer's problem, and generally everyone looks for the developer.

    Generally, if you find that the bathroom tiles are hollow, you still hope that you can remove all the bricks that have been hollowed, and then re-pave. This is the safest and most conservative method. If it is caused by the developer's housing quality problem, you can negotiate with the developer to find the most appropriate solution.

    The above is about the bathroom tile hollowing is what is the situation and how to solve it, you can take a look at the troubles.

    1. Corner hollow drum remedy:If the corners of the bathroom wall tiles are hollow, the gaps around the wall tiles must be shoveled, and the dilute cement should be used for pouring and the tiles should be knocked while pouring, so that the cement slurry can penetrate completely. This treatment saves time and effort, and is not easy to cause damage to the tiles.

    2. Remedies for hollow drums in the middle:If there is a hollow in the middle of the tile, it is necessary to pry the tile off and re-lay it. Specifically, it is necessary to smash from the middle part of the tile, but not directly from the middle, you can use a small rhinestone to open a hole first, and then use a tool to slowly spread to the surrounding way to pry open the tile, to avoid damage to the surrounding tiles.

    3. Large-area hollowing remedy:If there are hollows in more than 1 3 pavement areas, it is necessary to pry off all the tiles on the whole surface and re-pavement. Usually this large-area hollowing drum is caused by improper construction, and the construction party should bear the cost of tile damage and labor accessories.

    Precautions for the use of bathroom tiles.

    When the bathroom is tiled, do not scratch the brick surface, pollute the brick surface, walk around on the brick surface that is not dry, paint the wall and paint the floor without using protective film, etc., which often occur in the process of construction, which will cause damage to the tiles.

    Don't leave the tile gap in the bathroom too small for waterproofing, it is easy to cause thermal expansion and contraction, the tile is broken, and it is quite difficult to put tiles in the bathroom.

    In addition, try not to use large size floor tiles in the bathroom, due to the limited space in the bathroom, there are more corner places, if you choose large size floor tiles, it will cause the cutting frequency of tiles to increase, and the waste is also larger, which will cause waste for ground leveling and installation of floor drains.

    Treatment method of tile hollowing: 1. Grouting method.

    For a small number of corners of hollow tiles, can be treated by grouting method: scrape the tile gaps at the corners and hollows, and fill them with cement mortar. This method can play some role in the hollowing of a small number of corner tiles on the ground.

    2. Replace the hollow tiles.

    For the tile with the hollow drum in the center, the use of grouting can not solve the fundamental problem, and the tile with the hollow drum needs to be smashed off and re-pasted with a new tile. Here's how to deal with it:

    1. Clean up the grout in the gap between the tile that needs to be replaced and the adjacent tiles around it;

    2. Cut the tiles that need to be replaced along the diagonal with a cutting machine, pay attention not to the four corners of the tile, and the angle is about 10-15 cm;

    3. Smash it from the intersection of the diagonal of the tile, and then gradually pry the tile from the edge of the middle part to the surrounding until all the tiles that need to be replaced are taken out from the base layer;

    4. Clean up the base layer of smashed tiles, and clean up the loose muck dust;

    5. After sprinkling water on the base layer, paste the new tiles with cement mortar.

    Bathroom tile hollowing causes and repair methods.

    1. If only the tile falls off, and the mortar is left on the wall and the ground is not loose, the solution is to scrape the residual mortar on the back and side of the tile, and then apply a layer of uniform mortar on the back of the tile and press it back to its original position.

    2. If the mortar and the tile fall together, the solution is to first dig some pits on the wall and ground foundation, and then layer a layer of mortar on the foundation surface, and then press the tiles up until the tiles are fixed on it. Home Doctor Tips: Ceramic tiles fall off generally because of the use of ordinary cement mortar to bond when laying, the adhesion of cement mortar is relatively low and particularly susceptible to environmental factors, and there are often tile hollowing and even falling off.

    3. If such a phenomenon occurs, it is best to switch to tile adhesive with strong adhesion and waterproofness. The special tile adhesive will not be affected by the environment, it is very practical and inexpensive. Tile paste can repair obvious cracks, which can be bought in the general large building materials market, tell the merchant the cracking condition of your home, and he will know what to give you.

    Tile paste is mainly used after hooking, it can produce a visual effect that is almost the same as the surface of porcelain, and it is hard and wear-resistant, and it is generally used by customers with high decoration standards. Tile paste has a variety of colors to choose from, according to the brand and net content ** there are differences, the general is more than 10 yuan.

    1. Choose a tile with a deep texture on the back.

    Ceramic tiles will be designed on the back of the design into a grain shape, this is to make the tile and the wall can be better close contact, easy will not fall off, it is worth noting that the deeper texture can ensure that the tile and the cement mortar layer are partially detached but will not fall off, so you should pay attention to it when purchasing, try not to choose the back of the tile with too shallow texture.

    2. Choose tiles with low water absorption.

    If you want to avoid the hollowing of the tile, a good way is to avoid the purchase of tiles with too high water absorption, when the tile is purchased to understand its water absorption, the main detection method is to drop water on the back of the tile, to see the speed of infiltration after the water is dispersed to judge, the slower the water absorption, the greater the density of the tile, on the contrary, it means that the density of the tile is relatively sparse, the water absorption rate is relatively high, so the tile should try not to choose, because the water absorption rate is too high, it will be easy for the tile to absorb water and expand and the hollow drum falls off.

    3. The effect of choosing Zhongsha is good.

    Another way to avoid tile hollowing is to choose good sand, generally sand can be divided into extra-fine sand, fine sand, medium sand and coarse sand according to the thickness of the four kinds, the coarser the sand out of the cement mortar strength will be higher, but you know, not the higher the strength of the representative of the better, too fine sand is not a good choice, because the adsorption capacity is relatively poor and difficult to paste the tile, so it is recommended to choose the sand in the home decoration, because its particle thickness is more moderate and suitable for use in the cement mortar as an auxiliary material for pasting tiles.

    4. The ratio of cement and sand should be moderate.

    In home decoration, the general floor tiles are dry paved, and the cement and sand are mixed with a small amount of water in a ratio of 1:3. The general wall tiles are wet paving, and the ratio of cement and sand is according to 1:

    The ratio of 2 is more suitable after mixing with water. Too high a cement mortar ratio will lead to excessive water loss after drying, which will lead to the hollowing of tiles.

    At present, the more common cement on the market is divided into 225 and 525 four types, different types of cement will adapt to different concrete needs, in the home decoration generally use 325 cement will be better, because in the home decoration cement does not need much bearing capacity, so do not have to choose high-grade cement, and in addition, in the purchase of cement to pay special attention to its quality, to avoid the selection of inferior products as much as possible.

    1. What to do if the bathroom wall tile is hollow repaired, if only the cement and wall foundation are empty, only 1-2 bricks are empty, it will not affect the use. It is not recommended to replace it immediately, wait until the brick can be completely removed, and then reglue it with silicone; If there is a large area of hollowing, it should be replaced immediately. However, it is more troublesome.

    It was necessary to remove the tiles of the entire wall and redo the base. Therefore, it is advisable to have a professional do it in this situation.

    Second, it is necessary to replace all the hollow drum repairs on the wall tiles in the bathroom First of all, you need to check the tiles of the entire bathroom to see if there are individual tiles or hollow drums. Quite simply, just hit the tile. If a "dong" sound is made, it means that the block is empty, that is, the block is separated from the cement layer.

    If such a tile is pressed, it is prone to cracking. Therefore, the tiles must be crushed and re-laid. If there are a large number of empty bricks, they can only be re-paved.

    Next, the hollow tiles are sawed with a cutter (a lot of dust is generated during cutting, so the cutter must be continuously filled with water). Lift the tile carefully, remember to be very light, otherwise it can easily cause the tile to crack. Secondly, shovel off all the material that sticks to the tile and treat the cement layer under the brick, then remove 1-2mm until it is cleaned up.

    Apply an even layer of mixed cement mortar. The cement number is. In addition, if white cement is used, 108 glue is required, which can make the cement and floor tiles tightly bonded.

    Finally, the purified tiles are re-flated and flattened, and then the cement is dried and then consolidated with a caulk, which can effectively prevent the tiles from upturning and cracking.

1. Floor drain In the past, in addition to the flush toilet drain design with a reverse bend, the bathroom and kitchen floor drain also had a reverse bend, usually relying on the sealing of water to prevent odors. At present, in order to increase the floor height and reduce the cost, many new residential areas have canceled the anti-drain under the floor drain, but adopted a new type of anti-odor floor drain to ensure that the sewer odor does not escape. These odor-proof floor drains are often made of PVC materials, which are far less beautiful than the stainless steel and copper floor drains sold on the market. >>>More
