    After the bathroom is tiled, it is better to use it for a long time. If the bathroom is ventilated, it can be used within two days. If there is no ventilation, it will be fine for a few days at most.

    If you don't, it's pointless. The bond strength of ceramic tiles mainly depends on whether the material is dry or not, and the strength time of cement mortar is 72 h.

    Therefore, domestic hot water is available after 24 hours of toilet decoration and tiling. Underneath the floor tiles is a mixture of cement and yellow sand, mainly yellow sand, with only a small amount of cement, and it is basically dry and does not need to wait long for it to cure. When laying floor tiles, after hammering with a rubber hammer, it is mixed with the yellow sand below, and the position cannot be moved well.

    When laying bricks, the tile is well protected and does not scratch the brick surface and pollute the brick surface.

    Walking on uneven brick surfaces, painting walls, not using protective films, etc., often occur during construction, which can cause damage to the tiles. After the bathroom is waterproofed, a test water test, also known as a closed water test, will be performed. In order to prevent floor leakage, the first thing to do is to pack the prepared sand in a plastic bag to strictly seal the floor leakage and prevent the loss of stored water.

    Fill the door with cement with water. Get the water out. Water should soak the entire floor for a closed water test.

    After 48 hours, check the results of the shut-off water experiment and go downstairs to carefully check for leaks. Of course, if the tile is posted by someone else, he will help you test the water, and the owner will test it himself, because the master here basically has no responsibility in the later stage. Therefore, it is recommended that you find a master to test the water, so as not to leak the water downstairs and be knocked on the door.

    If you don't do it well, the downstairs will leak. You don't have to go out of your way to test the water, the downstairs will look for you if the water leaks.
