What materials are used for decoration tile joints

Hello. Tile grouts tile shops have specialized caulks.

To achieve the effect of hook seams.

Tile shops have clips that are specially used for hooking.

Cross shape. The width is also not the same.

You just need to tell the tile shop how big a gap you want to leave.

They will provide you with the appropriate card.

Then the construction is completed and it is good to patch it with caulk!

The connoisseur [He Guangning] will answer for you. If mine is helpful to you, please be prompt! Your recognition is the biggest motivation for me to answer the questions! Thank you!

1. White cement.

The color is single, divided into ordinary white cement and decorative white cement, the former has a slightly higher strength, whiteness of about 80%, and the latter has a lower strength, whiteness of about 84%; In short, the whiteness of white cement is low, the paste strength is low, the chalking phenomenon is serious, the brick joints are easy to yellow and dirty, and it is a mold breeding ground in a humid environment.

2. Putty powder.

Also known as binder, it is the most critical component of putty, mainly playing various roles such as bonding. The most commonly used binders for putty are cement and organic polymers, which are divided into emulsions and latex powders. Cement is a binder with good cohesiveness, durability and reasonable cost performance, but it has poor tensile strength and crack resistance.

Organic polymers can be modified and toughened to improve putty performance.

3. Grout.

The ingredients are white cement, trace polymers and pigments; The whiteness of white is about 86%, and the surface strength is slightly higher than that of white cement; There are many colors of color caulk, but they are dull and dull, and the effect of antique brick hooking is generally slightly better; For ceramic tiles with bright colors and high gloss, especially for mosaic tiles and mosaics, the joints of these types are wide and many, and the use of colored caulk obviously affects the overall effect of the wall and ground from a distance, and the difference between the light and dark of the bricks and joints is too large and uncoordinated; The color caulk is easy to pollute the surface of the tile during construction, and it is more troublesome to clean, so most of them have to use white caulk to hook the joint; After the use of colored caulk, the brick joints are very easy to get dirty like white cement, which is why people often choose black caulk when they hook the floor tiles, because the use of other colors will quickly bloom and be difficult to scrub clean.

Fourth, the beauty of the sewing agent.

After curing, it is composed of polymers and high-grade pigments and trace additives, with rich colors and bright colors, and has gold, silver, pearlescent and stainless steel colors, which are suitable for matching with various color tiles; The whiteness of white is about 95%, the surface strength is high and the toughness is good, its surface is smooth, easy to scrub, easy to clean, waterproof and moisture-proof, avoiding sanitary dead ends, can often maintain the original color, and will not pollute the tiles during construction; It is the most cost-effective to use a sewing agent.

Summary: From the above introduction, we can see that the waterproof performance and scrubbing resistance of putty powder and white cement are poor, and now, in the process of home decoration, the tile joints on the walls and floors of the kitchen and bathroom and the floor of the living room are generally not used, and now they basically choose professional tile caulk (also known as grout). The caulk and beauty sewing agent have the advantages of changeable color, mildew-proof, the highest degree of adhesion, will not fall off, easy to scrub, and the most convenient cleaning, etc., but its disadvantage is that it is rare in the market and needs to be purchased by the owner himself, which is higher than the above two.

Therefore, when you pave tiles, you can choose the right tile caulking products according to your own needs.

Ceramic tiles and tiles are gaps, the gap between the joint tiles does not do beautiful seams, it is easy to have bacteria, it is easy to hide dirt, will bring trouble to our lives, whether it is for beauty, or for the convenience of use, the joint is must be done, but many people because they have not done it, tile joint requirements? What are the materials of tile grouting? Ceramic tiles and tiles are gaps, the gap between the tiles is not beautiful, it is easy to have bacteria, it is easy to hide dirt, it will bring trouble to our lives, whether it is for beauty, or for the convenience of use, the hook joint must be done, but many people because they have not done it, they do not know much about the hook joint.

So I'll introduce the tile grout requirements? What are the materials of tile grouting?

Tile grout requirements2. Jointing materials: The common jointing materials on the market mainly include white cement, putty powder, beauty sewing agent, beauty sewing glue, etc. Among them, white cement and putty powder are more traditional joint materials, which have been gradually eliminated due to their poor waterproof performance and wear resistance, and are currently only used in outdoor spaces such as balconies.

Home interior decoration will choose professional sewing agent or sewing glue, etc., these professional sewing materials not only have good waterproofness, good wear resistance, but also a variety of styles, rich colors, and more space to choose.

3. Grout process: According to different tiles, there will be different grout process. Generally, for ceramic tiles with high flatness such as vitrified tiles and polished tiles, use a scraper to scrape hard when caulking, and the caulk can be compacted.

For antique bricks, wood grain bricks and other types of tiles with rough surfaces, you cannot use a scraper to scrape a large area, otherwise it will cause the residual caulk on the surface of the tile to be difficult to remove. Therefore, this kind of tile is suitable for the construction of the feeding joint method.

What are the materials of tile grouting?

1. Grout.

The ingredients are white cement, trace polymers and pigments; The whiteness of white is about 86%, and the surface strength is slightly higher than that of white cement; There are many colors of color caulk, but they are dull and dull, and the effect of antique brick hooking is generally slightly better;

2. Beauty sewing agent.

3. White cement.

The whiteness of white cement is low, the paste strength is low, the chalking phenomenon is serious, the brick joints are easy to yellow and dirty, and it is a mold breeding ground in a humid environment.

The above are the tile grout requirements I introduced? What are the materials of tile grouting? For the problem of grouting, we have some understanding, we know that the materials used in tile grout are generally made of grout, beauty grout and white cement, we can choose materials according to our own needs, when hooking, we should also pay attention to the construction method, after all, the working method will affect the effect of the joint.

Exterior wall tile caulking can generally use pure cement slurry or caulk or caulking glue, but if the expansion joint depth is deep, the width is generally about 20mm, the innermost part is filled with polyethylene foam rods, and the surface is sealed.

During construction, there is a professional exterior wall tile grout machine, and the outer convex ribs of the portable trowel board move in the gap between the tiles or marble veneers of the exterior wall during the work, and the cement mortar in the cylinder is sent to the slurry outlet to flow out and fill the gaps, and form a concave cement joint by dragging.

There are also special (special for external wall insulation) ceramic tile grouting powder for exterior walls, (special for external wall leakage) ceramic tile grouting powder and other special grout materials, if there is no professional machine, you can use professional materials to hook the joint.
