How to Prevent Mosaic Tiles From Falling Off

When it comes to bathroom renovations, one of the building materials that people often use is bathroom mosaic tiles. However, as we all know, the bathroom is the place where the humidity is relatively heavy, and it is also the place where the tiles fall off the most. There are many reasons for bathroom tiles to fall off, so how to prevent them? Let's look together.

How to prevent mosaic tiles from falling off?

✔️When the bathroom tiles are laid, the ground is flat

Lay the uncoated floor tiles on the ground, and after knocking it flat, apply the grout all over the floor tiles and lay them on the ground, and the diagonal positions of the four tiles are flush. The order of laying is also important.

The porcelain mosaic tile for bathroom floor should be pasted from the inside to the outside. If the ground has a slope or a floor drain, you should pay attention to finding the slope according to the drainage direction; the wall tiles should be laid from the bottom to the top. For the sake of beauty, the bottom layer should be pasted later. After the wall tiles are pasted, the floor tiles are pressed. In addition, one wall cannot be attached to the top at one time to prevent the tiles from being too heavy and causing slumps. Do not step on the floor tiles for a short time after paving.

In summer, because the materials are drier than usual, for materials such as floor tiles and ceramic tiles that need to be soaked in water, the soaking time should be extended to make the water close to saturation. In this way, there will be no water absorption from the cement due to the drying of the tiles during bonding, resulting in weak bonding with the cement, hollowing and falling off, which will bring you some unnecessary troubles.

Since wall tiles have a high moisture content, this feature must be taken into account when pasting. Before tiling, the base layer should be fully watered and damp, otherwise, the moisture in the mortar will be quickly absorbed by the dry base layer and tiles and quickly coagulate, which will affect its bond fastness. Otherwise, the wall tiles will absorb moisture from the cement, making the cement unable to function as an adhesive.

If there are decorative objects such as lime paste, latex paint, wallpaper, etc. on the wall, or there is dirt on the ground, it must be cleaned up, otherwise the cement mortar and the base layer will not be firmly bonded; in addition, if the wall itself has cracks, after the proper treatment, bricks can be tiled, so as to prevent the cracks in the basic structure from becoming larger and causing the wall tiles to crack or fall off in the future; also, for the ground and walls with too much difference in flatness or verticality, cement mortar should be used for leveling treatment. Before laying, compare the color differences of the tiles.
