How to pick wall tile caulk, how to use wall and floor tile caulk

1. Traditional tile caulk (cement-based).

Cement-type tile caulk is composed of high-quality cement, fine sand and polymer additives, with the addition of special effect polymers, which make it have certain elasticity, plasticity, tensile strength and mold resistance, and is available in a variety of colors. However, because such caulk products are cement-based, the microscopic porous structure of cement is susceptible to contamination by water, oil, bacteria, etc.

2. Special tile caulk.

Water-based epoxy caulk: The stain resistance effect is better than that of ordinary types of caulk, and it is resistant to long-term mopping. Water-based epoxy caulk has excellent anti-mildew performance, is not easy to cause mold in long-term wet or oily conditions, and has a certain degree of hydrophobicity.

Its surface is dense, long-term water-resistant, impermeable, wear-resistant, and will not be weathered in long-term use.

Solvent-free epoxy caulk: the product with the best decorative effect, with excellent mechanical properties, excellent chemical resistance, resistance to weak acid and alkali salts and other aspects of erosion. It has excellent stain resistance, mildew resistance, surface hydrophobicity, abrasion resistance and scrub resistance.

However, solvent-free epoxy materials also have their fatal shortcomings, which are difficult to install, not easy to modify the gaps, and difficult to clean.

3. Select according to the color of the tile.

It is best to choose the contrast after construction is not obvious, so that the overall effect is beautiful and generous, the color will appear more harmonious, try to choose light beige, white, or transparent, white as a versatile color, is a very good color, can be compatible with any color.

Tile caulk is divided into: solid powder box and colloidal water agent cartridge. The solid powder box can be divided into two kinds: sand-free and sand-free, and sand-free caulk refers to the fineness and particle size of the quartz sand contained in it are relatively small, and the relative bearing pressure and coagulation force are smaller than those of sand.

The basic function of caulk is to fully fill the gap between the ceramic tiles, so when choosing caulk, it is especially necessary to consider the design of the joint width, the narrower the joint has higher requirements for the workability of the caulk, and the wider the joint has a stricter limit on the shrinkage of the caulk.

1. Caulk is now mainly divided into sand and non-sand, generally speaking, paving bright wall tiles and vitrified tiles are suitable for using sand-free, and paving matte bricks and antique floor tiles are suitable for using sand.

2. The color of the caulk should be close to the color of the brick surface, except for special effects.

3. The width of the designed seam: the narrower the seam has higher requirements for the workability of the caulk, and the wider the seam has the stricter the restriction on the shrinkage of the caulk.

4. The caulk is waterproof, oil-proof, anti-fouling and other effects, environmentally friendly, safe and non-toxic.

1. Mix the caulk. Pour the special stirring liquid into a clean container, then pour in an appropriate amount of caulk, stir evenly until it is paste and no powder ball, leave it for 3-5 minutes, and stir it again.

2. Fill in the gaps. Use a scraper and a scraper to stir the stirred caulk, carefully fill in the gaps between the tiles in turn, the action should be gentle and not disconnected, and the scraping action should not be repeated between the same gaps, so as to avoid uneven conditions on the surface of the gap filling, and the gaps must be filled, do not leave empty, and scrape off the excess slurry with the bevel angle of the gap in time, and the action must be careful to avoid bringing out the slurry embedded in the cracks.

3. Press the caulk. After filling the cracks, you need to wait for 10-15 minutes, wait for the surface caulk to dry, and then wipe the surface with a slightly damp cotton cloth or sponge, towel, etc. with a wreath action, and gently press the caulk to ensure that the caulk is dense, which can also make the surface of the caulk smooth.

4. Cleaning and maintenance. Wait until the caulk is completely dry, and then wipe the surface of the tile with a clean cotton cloth or sponge, towel, etc., to remove the residual caulk, so that the overall tile paving effect will be better. Remember, you must wait for the caulk to fully cure before cleaning, otherwise all construction efforts will be in vain.

The above is an introduction to how to use and purchase wall and floor tile caulk, I hope it can help friends in need.

1. The material of caulking. The materials commonly used in grouts are mainly cement, grouts, putty powder, etc. Among these materials, putty powder and white cement are more traditional materials, and now they are used more as jointed materials, mainly balcony cultural bricks, such as paving balcony tiles, and ordinary cement mortar can also be used directly.

Putty powder, white cement waterproof performance, scrubbing resistance to the long light and short decanter of the decay containing performance is poor, now, in the family Tong talk decoration process, in the kitchen and bathroom wall floor, living room floor tile joints are generally not used, now basically choose professional tile caulk (also known as grout).

2. The type and selection of grouts. Generally speaking, paving bright wall tiles and vitrified tiles are suitable for using sand-free, and paving matte bricks and antique floor tiles are suitable for choosing and using sand. There are two ways to choose the color of the grout, one is the proximity method, which selects the grout that is close to the color of the tile, and the second is the contrast method, where the color forms a strong contrast with the color of the tile.

3. The selection of hook seam time. Generally, the time of joint selection is 24 hours after tiling, that is, after the tile is dry, the joint time is too early, which will affect the tiles, resulting in unevenness or loosening and falling off. In addition, before hooking, it is necessary to clean up the dust and debris in the cracks of the tiles.

Problem 1: How to use tile grout.

1.Choose a clean and suitable container, pour in the special stirring liquid for tile caulk, pay attention to the amount, and then slowly add the tile caulk, stir evenly until it becomes a paste without flour, let it stand for 3-5 minutes, and stir it evenly again.

2.Fill the reserved brick joints with evenly stirred caulk, fill all the gaps along the diagonal direction of the tiles, leave no blanks, scrape off the excess with special tools, and be careful not to scrape away the gaps when scraping.

3.Wait 10-15 minutes after caulking to allow the tile caulk to dry first. Then use a soft object such as a sponge or towel to wipe the caulk, and use a circular pattern when wiping to compact the caulk and make it appear smooth.

4.Once the tile caulk is completely dry, wipe the tiles with a clean towel or sponge to remove any excess caulk that remains on the tiles.

Question 2: According to your description, you should use powdered caulk, and you need to add an appropriate amount of water to make a paste to have an effect.

Abstract For the protruding joints on the tiles, you can use a rag dipped in hydrochloric acid or oxalic acid to wipe them, but be careful not to touch the joints. The toilet cleaner used at home can also be diluted to clean the sewing agent. Professional sewing cleaners or rosin cleaners can be purchased.

Some slippery areas are just fine to scrape with a shovel. If it is difficult to clean, you can ask the after-sales personnel to come forward to solve it.
