5 precautions for mosaic tiles

✔️Note 1: How to choose auxiliary materials

Usually, when laying ordinary tiles, cement is generally used. However, when laying mosaics, a grout should be selected. This is because the mosaic density is high, and its water absorption rate is very low. The use of cement with poor adhesion cannot guarantee the firmness of the mosaic, but the grout can.

Tips:

There are two kinds of jointing agent: waterproof and non-waterproof. Waterproof jointing agent is mainly used in bathroom, kitchen and other home improvement functional areas. In addition, the craftsmanship of laying mosaics is relatively high, and professional construction is required, so don't try it yourself.

✔️Note 2: How to clean mosaic tiles

After the self adhesive mosaic kitchen tiles are laid, what should be paid attention to when cleaning? Generally speaking, the surface of the mosaic is very flat and smooth, and it is not easy to hide dirt, so it is very convenient to clean, simply use clean water and good water absorption and just wipe it with a cotton cloth. If there are too many oil stains in the kitchen, you can choose a neutral brightener to wipe, which is more helpful to maintain the brightness of the mosaic surface.

✔️Note 3: What season is the most suitable for paving mosaic tiles

Generally speaking, there is no specific time limit for mosaic installation, and you can freely arrange it according to the decoration time. However, there are two times that should be avoided as much as possible. One is the midsummer season, when the weather is too hot, the glue will be acidic, which is not conducive to the firm bonding of the mosaic to the wall; the other is the severe winter season, if the weather is too cold, it will be too cold. It affects the adhesiveness of the glue to a certain extent. We recommend that you try to choose May and June for mosaic paving.

✔️Note 4: What color mosaic tiles are suitable for the bathroom

Most bathrooms are small in size. In order to increase the brightness of the space and magnify the visual effect, you can choose neutral colors, such as yellow, green or beige, etc., or you can choose several light colors to match each other, which not only shows the personality, but also can play a role in expansion. Black, dark blue, dark red, etc. will make small spaces appear more depressing, so it is recommended to choose as few as possible.

✔️Note 5: What color mosaic tiles are suitable for the kitchen

Light and cool tones

The kitchen space belongs to a high temperature environment, and the color of the tiles should preferably be light and cool, such as pink, light green, light gray and other colors. Such colors will make people feel the breath and coolness of spring under high temperature conditions, and light colors can make people feel that the space is expanding and extending, avoiding dark colors that make people feel dull and depressing in a small space.

White

The kitchen is the place where people cook, and it is also the place where some families eat. If the color of the tiles is too dark, it will cause visual fatigue. It can easily lead to loss of appetite. Therefore, the color of kitchen tiles can be selected from white. White can better understand the hygienic conditions of your own kitchen, so as to facilitate timely cleaning, and at the same time, it can also avoid long-term accumulation of foul fumes and oil fumes in the kitchen and damage people's health.

Light yellow

The kitchen is the place with the most oil fume. Even if the home is spotless, oil fume will inevitably fall on the ground when cooking. Over time, the stick on mosaic kitchen tiles may turn yellow, so light yellow or orange-yellow is a good choice.
