Is it better to lay the bathroom tiles dry or wet?

First of all, I want to tell you the difference between dry and wet paving, dry paving is when the bricklayer master and the cement paddle have very little water, and then it is not formed, and the floor tiles can be adjusted when placed on it. Wet paving is the bricklayer master and the cement paddle can be wiped on the tile, and the general bathroom is purchased porcelain tiles. When the master sticks the bricks, he will soak them in water, so that they can be wet.

Under normal circumstances, wet paving will be much more difficult than dry paving, and the bathroom should also make a slope, tilt a little to the floor drain, so that it is convenient for the bathroom floor to go water, and the method of paving is more difficult.

The bathroom must be a wet bunk, there is no doubt about this. I know a little about this process, dry paving is generally used for the floor tiles in the living room, because the floor tiles are relatively large, and there is no water on its side, and a flatness is also needed, so they are all dry shops, which is conducive to adjusting the smoothness and leaving joints. In the later period, there were fewer hollow drums for the tiles.

If it is a bathroom, dry bunking is not suitable.

Because the bathroom is to be leveled first, and then waterproof. If you choose to dry shop in the bathroom, and then the waterproof layer of your home is not very good, it is easy to seep water, and it is better to seep into your own home, if it seeps downstairs, this is another trouble. Because the cement paddle underneath the tile is not the kind of molded, the water can easily be lost.

If the outside of the bathroom is floored, it is also easy to warp.

If your home waterproofing is done in the early stage, after three or five years, the waterproof layer is broken, and it happens that your home chooses to be wet paved, or even better than the all-cement paste, and the water in your bathroom will never seep downstairs, and there is no worry at all.

The floor is tiled, and most people currently use the dry paving method, and there is less wet paving. Dry paving method refers to the method of sprinkling water and stirring evenly with 1: volume ratio) cement and sand to form a dry cement mortar (dry and wet consistency, it is advisable to knead it into a ball by hand and not loose), and use tiles to level the ground.

Generally speaking, dry paving has high technical requirements, large mortar thickness, so that the cost is high, of course, the floor tiles after dry paving are regular, not deformed, not easy to hollow and the line edge is flat, the effect is good, so the floor tiles should be dry paved, especially like marble (granite), more than 500 mm 500 mm of all-ceramic floor tiles and other high-grade ground finishing materials must generally be dry paved. ‍‍

Dry tiling is better.

The dry paving method of ceramic tile mainly uses a dry cement mortar of one to three, which has the advantage of making the tile fully contact with the ground, which can effectively avoid the bubble and hollowing phenomenon caused by the tile in the paving process, and has the characteristics of not easy to deform, not easy to jump porcelain and crack.

The paving method replaces the dry cement mortar of one to three with ordinary water and cement mortar, and the paving thickness is relatively thin, especially suitable for the wall, the ground is not a large brick and the place where the thickness is required, sometimes it can be directly pasted with plain ash, the construction is relatively simple, and the cost is not dry paving.

But the disadvantage of the wet paving method is that the construction is difficult, not easy to operate, if the operation is not proper in the construction process, the cement mortar water evaporation and drying process is easy to form small bubbles, resulting in the phenomenon of tile hollowing. At the same time, in the construction process of wet paving method, it is necessary to reserve a certain tile joint, otherwise the phenomenon of tile collapse will occur due to expansion and contraction. Here it is recommended that large tiles are best laid dry.

However, in the construction process of dry paving, due to the large thickness of dry paving, the ceramic tile master is required to have a high technical content in the construction process, so the dry paving method of floor tiles is more labor-intensive, and the cost is relatively high.

Suggestion] According to the specific purpose of the construction to determine which method to choose, it is better to use the wet paving method for wall tiles and smaller tiles, and it is recommended to use the dry paving method for large tiles, so as to effectively avoid the occurrence of hollowing.

Dry paving construction].

Step 1: Water and moisten the base layer, remove floating sand and debris, and ensure that the base layer is clean and flat.

Step 2: After the base absorbs enough water, some tile masters will use a knife to cut the base layer, which can effectively increase the binding force of the tile and the base layer, and then avoid the hollowing phenomenon.

The last step: is to lay the base layer according to the horizontal line, and then put the tiles on the mortar and use the rubber hammer to vibrate, remove the ground tiles and pour the cement slurry, and then put the ground tiles on the solid and vibrate it.

Dry paving method, that is, the cement sand leveling layer at the bottom must be dry and solid before it can be paved, and the level of the dry paving method should be done well to ensure that the brick surface is smooth.

Wet paving method, directly spread the mixed cement mortar to the ground, requiring the hand to grasp and loosen tightly, the cement mortar is loose, and then the bottom surface of the brick is plastered with plain plaster.

Dry paving is the dry cement mortar below, and the cement stained on the tiles is attached to the ground. In this way, the underground void is large, and it is easy to get water and damp.

Wet paving is a direct dilute wet mortar to lay the bottom and paste tiles. This sticker can keep there no gaps in the ground and the toilet will not be too wet. Your dad was right.

Mine is not very professional, hope it helps!

Friend; Dry paving is to mix the mortar into not dry or wet, the reverse side of the floor tile is laid with cement glaze, and now almost all of this is the case in Lanzhou, whether it is home improvement or engineering, your father's friends don't understand.

Is it either that the mortar is mixed into a glaze that is not dry or wet? The advantage is that there are no empty bricks, but if the heat is not well controlled, the bricks will be uneven.

Your satisfaction is truly speechless.

Search for dry paving. And your answer to the wet pavement is the same.

Toilets must be wet.
