After a long stay in a new house, many families may encounter such a situation: the floor tiles of the house suddenly arch up. A lot of people are confused why? What should I do?
1．Why do floor tiles arch?
The causes of the floor tile arch are as follows:
First, the expansion gap between the floor tile and the floor tile and the surrounding walls is too narrow! When the room temperature changes dramatically, the floor, cement layer and ceramic tile will appear the phenomenon of thermal expansion and contraction. For example, the gap is too thin, and there is not enough space for the ceramic tile to "stretch", so the ceramic tile is easy to arch, which is easy to appear in the north. Because of the large humidity and small temperature difference in the south, it is not easy to appear.
Second, when laying the floor tiles, the cement and yellow sand are not mixed according to the correct proportion. If the cement grade is low and the yellow sand is put much more, the cement in the lower layer will not stick to the floor tiles as soon as the time is long, causing the floor tiles to rise.
2.The method of solving the arching of ceramic tile
Check whether it is individual tile or large area arch. Can use knock ceramic tile, the ceramic tile that sound sends empty is already empty, that is to say ceramic tile has already separated with cement layer, such ceramic tile if press hard, very easy to break.
In the process of tiling, it is very important to be careful, which is a test of workers' attitude. In the process of tiling, the four corners of the tiles must be aligned. The significance of alignment is not only to see it with the naked eye, but also to use tools to measure, and finally to get the exact answer. We try our best to The tiles are laid on the same horizontal line, and the gap size of the tiles is consistent, so it will look more beautiful. For example, we can use a tile leveling tool to achieve this.
According to the above statement, there is a problem that we must pay attention to, that is, if we do not clean the tile gap, then the gap will turn black after a short time of use. In this case, it will become troublesome and unsightly to clean it again.
So when we decorate the house, we need to pay more attention to the tiling process. Before pointing, we need to clean up the tile gap first, which is very helpful for our later decoration. If we find someone from the decoration company to paste the tiles, we need to communicate well in advance, without any omission.
Check whether it is individual tile or large area arch. Can use knock ceramic tile, the ceramic tile that sound sends empty is already empty, that is to say ceramic tile has already separated with cement layer, such ceramic tile if press hard, very easy to break. Therefore, it is necessary to pry up the arched tiles and pave them again. If the number of empty tiles is large, the whole tile will simply be repaved.
