When laying ceramic tiles, seams must be left, seams must be left, seams must be left, and important things must be said three times. Why is it so important, you ask? Take a look at the following reasons why seams are necessary. Will there be any gaps when tiling? Please stick to Article 12 before deciding!
12 reasons why seams must be left
1. Both ceramic tiles and cement have large thermal expansion and contraction characteristics. If no seams are left, the ceramic tiles will be damaged as the cement expands and contracts during use;
2. Because during the use of a newly built house, the ground and walls will undergo certain physical changes. If no seams are left, it will cause pressure between the bricks, causing the tiles to stretch, crack, and bulge. Phenomenon;
3. There are slight differences in the size of the tiles themselves. Even if it is produced by machine, even if the error has been reduced to the minimum, there will still be more or less errors. This is inevitable. Only a certain gap is left during paving to make up for this mistake and ensure that Flatness of tiles.
4. During the paving process, errors in manual construction are unavoidable, and the effects of paving will be different at different times and under different circumstances. Leaving seams can ensure the continuity of ceramic tile paving.
5. When paving, due to uneven mixing of the mud, uneven pulling force generated by the condensation of the mud after construction will also lead to uneven ceramic tiles. Leaving seams can avoid such problems.
6. During the paving process, leaving seams can avoid collisions between tiles causing bad edges.
7. The wall and floor tiles are paved with seams to form regular lines, which can improve the aesthetics of the paving and add layers and texture.
8. Leave seams in the tiles to facilitate future maintenance and upkeep. For example, if one tile is accidentally damaged, other tiles will not be affected when the tile is replaced.
9. Seamless paving will still have very small gaps, and dirt will be more difficult to clean. Properly leaving gaps and using a seam beauty agent is the easiest to clean, and there will be no black dirt in the gaps, which will affect the Beauty and health.
10. Today’s caulking agents are diverse in variety, rich in color, good in performance, and have many options. They are easy to clean and also increase their appearance.
11. Antique tiles must leave seams, because in order to create an antique effect, the flatness of the antique tiles is relatively poor. Leaving seams can make up for this defect and can create an overall effect.
12. The last and most important point is that manufacturers and merchants will not accept problems such as chipping, cracking, arching, hollowing, or falling off of ceramic tiles due to lack of seams. in the case ofThe construction party ignored the problem of leaving seams, and the construction party will bear the resulting losses. If the owner insists on leaving no gaps, the resulting losses will be borne by the owner.
