Exterior wall tiles used to be a trend in the countryside, why is it gradually declining?

I remember that in the 90s, the rural house was very fond of tiling and decorating, and after the house was completed as a whole, the last process was to apply tiles. This sequence takes the longest time, and in order to piece together the pattern, you must find a skilled mason, otherwise it will not only take slow time to put together, but also will not be able to stick it firmly. But the wall after pasting is indeed beautiful and beautiful, but also to protect the wall from wind and rain, although the purchase of tiles is expensive, but for the sake of beauty, or comparison, this process must not be less, but then why not use it?

In the final analysis, ceramic tile is like a child's sticker painting, it mainly relies on the adhesion of concrete, after fixing, after the concrete is dry, it can be tightly attached to the wall, the basic theoretical service life of concrete is 60 to 70 years, but the quality of cement is very short.

According to the national standard, the validity period of concrete is 3 months, but if it is a humid environment or temperature, the quality of cement is more than half a month, that is, if you buy the quality of concrete, the tile is very likely to burst out anytime and anywhere, in case of smashing people, then it will be troublesome, even if the quality is qualified, seven or eight years of wind and rain are damaged, the adhesion is loose, and the tile may also burst out, so for the safety of the family, the tile will pass away.

We sometimes see some houses with wall tiles in the countryside, the tone of the tiles is white or the color is dull, this is because the "color decay" of the tiles through a long period of exposure to the sun, and the key raw materials of the tiles are composed of clay and quartz sand, and the exterior wall tiles belong to the glaze color, and the glaze is also resistant to the wind blowing gently, the rain hits, and the sun, so that most of the background color fades not obviously, but what can not withstand the tempering of the years, and gradually the color will be biased, and the overall dismantling and replacement is very inconvenient, and it is troublesome not to replace it. Therefore, the wall tiles gradually withdrew from people's field of vision.

Nowadays, the income from farming is too low, most of the young people in the countryside work in the city to make money, the probability of them returning to the countryside to live is too low, before the rural children get married, it is okay to build a house in the countryside, so the house is built beautifully and brightly, but now that the marriage is completed, there must be a residence in the city, so no one spends the idea on decorating the rural house, but all for the purchase of commodity city, for a long time, the rural tile paste exterior wall is gone.

In short, the exterior wall tiles that were once popular in the countryside because of the development of society, gradually withdrew from people's field of vision, both their own characteristic defects, but also the elimination of the socialization process, so now no one uses exterior wall tiles in rural buildings.

This is because if you put tiles on the exterior wall, it is likely to fall off, and there will be safety hazards, so it will decline.

The exterior wall tiles are blown by the wind by the window, and it is very easy to loosen and crack in the process, so the countryside will basically not choose this way now. Many people will use real stone paint.

Because this kind of tile is very easy to fall, sometimes it will affect people's safety, and the effect of this tile is relatively simple.

I took a look around the village and found that there were only two houses with tiles on the exterior walls, one was the richest man in the village, and the other was the former richest man. It is conceivable that a few years earlier, the exterior wall tiles were a symbol of luxury and wealth in the countryside.

Why are there very few exterior tiles now, or even disappear? I think there are a few reasons for that.

1. Short service life. Sticking tiles on the exterior wall is a difficult technical job, my father is a mason who has been doing construction all his life, he is careful and technically hard, and the tiles pasted by his hands have to be peeled back and forth several times to see if there is no cement that is not sticked, so as to re-wipe the cement. The tiles on the railings in the courtyard and the building were all pasted by him, but even if he was so serious, the tiles on the railings of the building had already fallen off several pieces.

The tiles on the exterior wall of the former richest man in my village have also fallen, which is particularly unsightly and affects the appearance, so some people say that it is better not to stick it!

2. High construction costs. Since the technical requirements for exterior wall tiling are particularly strict, it is also particularly labor-intensive. This kind of slow work and meticulous work, the masons are not willing to do it, and the time and effort are time-consuming, and the wages cannot be less.

Another is the cost of tiles, if you think about the entire exterior wall, the tile money alone is a lot of money. When the two are combined, the construction cost must be much higher.

3. Aesthetic changes. In the first few years, the exterior wall was tiled, which looked very foreign, and it was more beautiful than the cement wall, but now on the exterior wall, you can brush various colors of paint or latex paint, and there are more decoration methods to choose from, so people's aesthetics are also quietly changing.

In fact, even in the years when the exterior wall tiles were popular, there was no blind follow-up in the countryside, because it was pasted outside, which could only be regarded as a useless decoration, and it was better to save money to decorate the house and live in it more comfortably! A larger part of the peasant friends are still more pragmatic, able to see and do it.

The newly built ones in my house are still tiled, don't listen to those people's nonsense.
