2) 12mm thick 1:3 cement mortar priming, priming should be layered, each layer thickness should be 5 7mm, and then smooth and rub the hair.

3) Wait for the bottom layer to be ashed.

When the sixth and seventh layers are dry, according to the requirements of the drawings, the specifications of the bricks and the actual conditions, the bricks are arranged and the elastic line is carried out.

4) Use 1:3 cement mortar to stick the corner bricks on the ground as a reference point to control the surface flatness of the floor tiles.

5) Bottom ruler, calculate the elevation of the lower mouth of the next brick accurately, the upper skin of the bottom ruler is generally 10mm lower than the ground, and put the bottom ruler on this basis, which should be horizontal and stable.

6) Before the veneer brick, the face brick should be soaked in water for more than 2 hours, and then taken out to dry and set aside.

7) Wipe the 8mm thick cement mixed mortar bonding layer, scrape flat, paste the surface brick with the wipe from top to bottom, require the mortar to be full, remove and repaste when the ash is lost, and check the flatness with a ruler at any time, and ensure that the width of the gap is consistent.

8) After pasting after self-inspection without hollowing, unevenness and straightness, wipe it clean with cotton yarn, wipe the joints with white cement slurry or pat dry cement, wipe the plain slurry in the joints with a cloth, and wipe the brick surface clean.

Hook the seam material.

1) The materials commonly used in grout are mainly cement, grout, putty powder, etc. Among these materials, putty powder and white cement are more traditional materials, and now they are used more as jointed materials, mainly balcony cultural bricks, such as paving balcony tiles, and ordinary cement mortar can also be used directly.

1) putty powder, white cement waterproof performance, scrub resistance is poor, now, in the process of home decoration, in the kitchen and bathroom wall floor, living room floor tile joints are generally not used, now basically choose professional tile caulk (also known as grout).

Types and selection of grouts.

1) grout is now mainly divided into sand and no sand on the market, generally speaking, paving bright wall tiles and vitrified tiles are suitable for sand-free, paving matte bricks and antique floor tiles are suitable for sand.

2) There are two ways to choose the color of the grout, one is the proximity method, which is close to the color of the tile, and the second is the contrast method, which forms a strong contrast with the color of the tile.

Selection of the time of the hook seam.

Generally, the time of joint selection is 24 hours after tiling, that is, after the tile is dry, the joint time is too early, which will affect the tiles, resulting in unevenness or loosening and falling off. In addition, before hooking, it is necessary to clean up the dust and debris in the cracks of the tiles.
