The Construction Method Of Mosaic Tiles

Many people hold that mosaic is more difficult to install than tile for it is much smaller than tiles. So a lot of people give up the mosaic. However, it is not the case. The installation steps are easy for mosaic too. The following are the construction method of mosaic, I hope this may help you.

Installation Method Of Mosaic

Construction thickness

The thickness of the mosaic itself varies from two millimeters to five millimeters. Some special mosaics can even reach one centimeter. In addition, the thickness of mosaic and ceramic tile is also different. Therefore, in order to make the wall smooth as a whole, it is sometimes necessary to consider making a leveling layer again in a thinner area. Silver grey travertine brick mosaic is a highly recommended mosaic in our store.

The spacing of construction joints shall be uniform

The seam spacing between the block mosaics must be uniform, and the size of the spacing should be equal to the original seam spacing between the small mosaics. In this way, the whole wall is formed as a whole, and it can't be seen that it is made of a large piece of mosaic mold.

Control the construction pace

During the paving process of mosaic, there may be phenomena such as slurry flow and whole block sliding. These situations are generally caused by the failure to grasp the construction rhythm. A better way is to wait until the last batch of mosaic adhesive is slightly cured, and then paste the next batch on it, then the effect of paving will be ideal.

Pointing with joint sealant

At present, the auxiliary materials of mosaic special bonding and caulking agent are generally used for pointing. Apply the joint filler first, and then it will be formed after curing. Finally, wipe it with a dry towel. In this way, the effect of the mosaic wall will be more uniform, and the decorative effect is much stronger than that of the block material, because the construction joint can not be seen.

Each mosaic can only be caulked after the surface is stable. When caulking, try to use a rubber caulking knife. The scraping must be full. At the same time, note that the scraping area should not be too large, otherwise it will cause difficulty in cleaning.

Characteristics Of Mosaic

Environment protection

Some products use natural raw materials, such as shell mosaic, marble mosaic, etc. In today's era of pursuing environmental protection and nature, it is easier to meet people's concept of environmental protection.

A sense of decoration

Mosaic uses the form of jigsaw puzzle to strengthen its decoration. Mosaic materials are very rich and have many color changes. It has gradually evolved from traditional small stone particles to shell, porcelain, metal, glass and other materials as raw materials. Mosaic can incisively and vividly deduce the temperament and mood of the material itself. When decorating the indoor space, it can be used not only as the decorative material of other decorative materials, but also as the background wall of mosaic in a large area; Both the gradual change of mosaic color and various geometric arrangements can be used.

Long life

Because the main raw materials of mosaics are mostly natural stones, its wear resistance is unmatched by decorative materials such as ceramic tiles and wooden floors. Because there are many gaps between each small particle of mosaic, its stress resistance is more advantageous than other decorative materials.

Security

Due to its strong anti-skid and wear resistance, mosaic is widely used in places with high anti-skid requirements, such as bath center, swimming pool, kitchen and bathroom space, which is both practical and beautiful compared with other traditional materials.

Individualization

Mosaic gives consumers who pursue individuality a space to show their creativity.
