What should I do if the wall tiles in the bathroom at home are hollow?

Hello, there are two kinds of empty drums: corner hollow drums and middle hollow drums, determine what kind of hollow drums your home is, and then use the corresponding method to end up.

1.If there is a hollow drum in the corner of the wall, the grout method is used to repair the gap around the tile, and then pour with relatively thin cement and knock the tile while pouring, so that the cement grout can penetrate and is not easy to damage the tile.

2.The tiles are hollow, but the base mortar has not fallen off, and can be paved with weather-resistant adhesive.

3.The tile is hollow, and the mortar of the tile base has been loosened, so it is necessary to plane the tile down and lay it with cement mortar again.

Before paving the wall tiles, the wall surface is sprinkled with water, and the glazed tiles are fully soaked (about 30 minutes), and the hollow drum can be avoided by beating it with a leather hammer when paving.

Bathroom wall tiles hollow drum and cracks may be because the home's waterproof brushing is not done well, waterproof is to stabilize the structure, there will be no infiltration, dampness and other scattering, and brushing is to make the tile more stable, strong grip, not easy to produce detachment tile hollow drum must be the decoration worker's process problem It is recommended to re-paste.

Tile hollowing is the responsibility of the decoration construction party, if the tile appears hollow, it is generally caused by improper construction, when laying tiles, the mortar of cement mortar is relatively thin; Or when the floor tiles are paved, the cement slurry has dried; Or there are contaminants on the back of the floor tiles that are not cleaned, etc. You can find a contractor to repair it for you.

There are two phenomena of tile hollowing.

One situation is that the original brick is separated from the cement connection layer used for the wall, and the tile can be removed with a light grip.

The second situation is that the brick and cement are connected relatively strongly, and the base layer of the cement and the wall itself is hollow.

You can take a small hammer and tap the surface of the tile where the hollow drum appears and listen to the sound, if the sound is crisp, it is the first case; If the sound is muffled, it falls under the second case.

If there is a hollow drum between the cement and the wall base, and there are only one or two bricks hollow, it will not affect the use, and it is not recommended to replace it immediately. You can wait until the tile can be taken off and reattached with silicone. If the entire wall is hollow in a large area, it may fall off and hurt people, so it is recommended to replace it immediately.

However, it is necessary to remove the tiles of the entire wall and redo the base, so in this case it is recommended to ask a professional to replace it.

It may be because the tiles are not soaked in water during the decoration, and the tiles are paved with cement mortar, and the tiles need to be soaked in water for about two hours in advance. The higher the density and quality of the bricks, the shorter the time it needs to be immersed in water. The thin paste method does not need to be soaked in water, and the proportion of adhesive components contained in the ratio mortar used is large, and the water retention is extremely strong.

The tile hollow drum can be filled with grout, the bonxl epoxy injection glue, which can be filled with glue into the back of the hollow drum brick, which is very firm.
