Workers used a kind of cross when they pasted it, so they consulted with their master and found that the little cross was so useful that they regretted that our house didn't use tiling! First of all, let's understand why this kind of cross is needed when pasting antique bricks?
1. This kind of cross is generally made of plastic. It is used to paste tiles and wall tiles. After being pasted, it can be pulled out. It is not left in the seam.
2. From the perspective of aesthetics, no matter what kind of ceramic tile, there are errors, such as length, right angle and edge straightness. Because it is cut, so the inevitable edge is not neat, so the paste will be uneven. In this case, a cross is needed.
3. From the perspective of construction, it is inevitable that there will be errors in the manual operation of workers. And because of the reason of season, ceramic tile will expand and shrink, if not cross, the gap between ceramic tiles is too big or too small, that's not good. Generally speaking, the cross is used to assist the seam of ceramic tiles. The width specifications of the cross on the market are 1mm, 2mm, 3mm and 5mm. Generally, the joint is about 1.5-2mm when tiling, while the wall brick of kitchen and toilet is usually 1-1.5mm. Some designs will widen the gap, so the effect will be very special. So how much is the cross to buy?
The 5mm tile crosscan be used three times, as long as the tiles are completely dry and then pulled out. But the smaller ones are not easy to take down. They are usually covered by caulking. When you buy it, you can buy it with a piece of brick and a cross. You can figure out how much it will take.
