It is better to use cement or tile glue for tile tiling in the bathroom

As we all know, cement mortar is generally used for tiling, but in recent years, there have been more tile adhesives on the market, and I don't know which one is better to use!

Let's look at the cement mortar first, that is, it is mainly cement, add yellow sand and some waterproof additives, and then mix with water, which is basically zero pollution, high adhesion, and preferential price.

But the bad thing is that cement mortar is affected by many external factors and is easy to fall off. In addition, the hardness of tiles on the market is getting higher and higher, and the focus is on poor water absorption, so the tiles often fall off.

> from the outside, tile adhesive and cement are almost the same, mainly mixed with water, and then directly used to paste tiles. However, tile adhesive has an advantage that cement does not have, that is, it is less affected by external factors, and it is resistant to low temperature and water. The bad point may be that the price is expensive, and there are many bad tile adhesives on the market, and there may even be the problem of excessive formaldehyde.

> compared with cement and tile adhesive, the adhesive performance of ceramic tile adhesive will be better, the point is that you don't need to run the tile in advance, you can paste it directly. There is no need to paint a thick layer on the wall, and it is basically very firm when pasted on.

Of course, the price of good things will generally be on the expensive side, so there is no need to use tile glue in all places, you can use it in the kitchen and bathroom, because these places are often wet, and it is easy to fall off with ordinary cement.

Generally in the case of budget or choose professional tile adhesive is better, compared to the cement river sand, tile adhesive is not only stronger adhesion is more than three times that of cement river sand, a tile adhesive as long as a thin layer can be, and cement mortar is the need for a thick layer, tile adhesive no toxic additives can reduce waste, in line with environmental protection characteristics is high bonding strength, water resistance, frost resistance, good aging resistance.

Tile adhesive has good flexibility and anti-deformation ability, which can effectively prevent the tile from hollowing and falling off. High bond strength, water resistance, heat and cold aging resistance, good workability.

> cement-based paving tiles, due to the high amount of cement and the large shrinkage of the solidification process, the internal stress between the cement paste and the ceramic tile is concentrated, and it is easy to cause the separation of the tile and the mortar after the cement solidifies, resulting in hollowing, falling and other problems!

> tile adhesive is made of selected high-quality cement and washed sand supplemented by a variety of polymer materials through scientific compatibility and specific process processing, which is used to pave ceramic tiles not only greatly improves the bonding strength, but also effectively overcomes the problem of internal stress concentration, so there is no hidden danger of hollowing off bricks.

> tile adhesive is more space-saving than cement yellow sand, and only a thin layer of 5 8mm is needed during the construction process. Cement yellow sand can only paste ceramic tiles with rough and porous surfaces and high water absorption, and there is nothing that can be done about the high-grade dense vitrified tiles that are popular on the market! Tile adhesive is gradually promoted with the popularity of vitrified tiles, not only can paste rough ceramic tiles, but also paste dense and hard vitrified tiles!

Tile adhesive is suitable for the pasting of indoor and outdoor wall floor tiles and mosaics, and is also used for the waterproof layer tiling of kitchens, bathrooms and balconies. The premise of selecting tile adhesive is that the base surface must be firm, smooth, no oil stain, no release agent, etc.

As follows: the two are better than tile adhesive, paste better and do not need to soak the tile, especially do not need to wet the wall base, you can directly pull the hair on the wall base and apply it evenly, and you only need to paste it and press it evenly when paving.

Tile. Ceramic tiles, also known as tiles, are refractory metal oxides and semi-metal oxides, through the process of grinding, mixing, pressing, glazing, and sintering, and form an acid-alkali resistant porcelain or stone, etc., building or decorative materials, called ceramic tiles. Its raw materials are mostly mixed with clay, quartz sand and so on.

The quality of the tile paste directly affects the use of the owner in the later stage, many times the tile will appear hollow and fall off, this is because there is no attention in the process of pasting, now tile glue and cement are more commonly used tile materials, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages, let's take a look at it!

Advantages and disadvantages of tile adhesive Tile adhesive is a new type of auxiliary material for paving ceramic tiles, mainly because the viscosity of tile adhesive is relatively high, and it is relatively thin when it is pasted, then it will undoubtedly increase the height of the house, and the construction is also very convenient, but the disadvantage is that compared with cement, the cost is very high.

Advantages and disadvantages of cement Traditional cement is the most common building material, and the price is cheap, cement is firmly glued together with other materials after drying, so the use of cement is very many, but cement also has a lot of disadvantages that the thickness of the paving is too large, the paste is not firm, and it is easy to cause hollowing in many cases, which makes the status of cement slowly decline.

Which is better to use for tiling.

In terms of convenience, it is definitely that tile adhesive is more convenient, and the practicality is very strong, but in terms of cost performance, cement must have a very big advantage, but cement tiles will be hollow after a period of use. In terms of materials, the current tiling technology is constantly improving, the structure of the tile is getting better and better, and the water absorption rate of the tile is decreasing, so the ordinary cement can not be completely fitted, and the size of the tile is also expanding, it is not easy to fit, so it is best to use professional tiling materials.

Aesthetic aspects. We know that cement tiles are generally very much cement paved on the tile, then the whole ground will be improved a lot, and tile adhesive can solve this problem well, and the ratio is very uniform, the shrinkage in the bonding process is more consistent, so the surface of the tile will be relatively flat, and because it is full of slurry, so there will be no hollowing, falling off, and the tiles posted out are of course more beautiful and stronger.

Judging from the above aspects, the advantages of tile adhesive in each aspect are more prominent, but the price is too expensive, so it is a good choice for those families with more decoration budgets, but it should be noted that if tile adhesive has been selected, then do not add cement in the process of construction.

What is the difference between the tile adhesive used by the decorator and the traditional cement? Today is a long time to see.

1. What is cement mortar? What is Tile Adhesive?

1. Cement mortar.

Cement mortar is a traditional construction scheme, but cement mortar construction, it is difficult to ensure that the cement mortar can be evenly covered, in addition to pay attention to the selection of cement number, cement mortar ratio and other precautions, there may be hollowing, falling off in the later stage; In addition, cement mortar construction is longer than the use of tile adhesive, and there are strict requirements for the level of construction workers.

2. Tile adhesive.

The new type of tile paste material has the advantages of simple construction and firmer paste, however, tile adhesive also has certain disadvantages, compared with cement mortar, the construction needs to ensure the flatness of the wall, and the base layer should also be cleaned, otherwise it will affect the bonding effect of tile adhesive.

Second, is it better to use cement or tile glue for tiles?

1. Comparison from the construction aspect.

If the cement mortar is used to paste the bricks, the construction steps have wet walls, brick throwing, support, etc., the effect is low, and the effect will not be too good, and it is easy to produce the situation of tile hollowing and falling off; If you use tile glue to paste tiles, tiles do not need to be soaked in water in advance, nor do you need to wet the wall, the technical requirements of decoration workers are not high, the paste speed is 4-6 times that of cement, the brick joints will not have excess slurry, the brick surface is not dirty, and you can also pave multiple tiles at the same time, which is much better than the paving method of cement mortar to be single-piece sizing.

2. Comparison in terms of aesthetics.

When using tile glue to paste tiles, the glue ratio of the wall is uniform, and the shrinkage during the bonding process is also consistent, so the flatness of the tile surface is high.

3. Start from the decoration materials.

At present, the quality of the ceramic tiles used in tiling is high, and the water absorption rate of ceramic tiles is also decreasing, so that if the traditional cement mortar is not improved in quality, the demand for tile adhesive will be higher, of course, the decoration market is also full of cement and tile adhesive of different quality, and the owners should pay attention to the method when they go to buy.
