Friends who have experienced renovations must have seen the workers and masters to soak the tiles before laying the tiles. For such a phenomenon, many people feel very curious, no matter what the tile brand is, how about the tiles, how the tiles are paved. I definitely need to soak water before. So where is the purpose of the tile soaking water? Let's take a look at why the tiles need to soak in water? How to soak the tiles?
Why do you want to soak the tiles?
For this problem, Xiaobian also consulted the company's supervisor, they told Xiaobian, the tile soaking water is to prevent the absorption of water cement mortar moisture, so as not to cause empty drums, shedding, or even cracks, especially for wall coverings. Before the wall is laid, it is necessary to sprinkle the wall. This is also the reason. Tiles have more or less pores. The water is soaked before the paving to make the pores fully absorb water. The porcelain bricks have a much higher density and a much smaller porosity, which makes the water absorption rate very low.
Which tiles need to be soaked in water?
In order to absorb the water absorption of the tiles, the water absorption rate of <0.5% does not need to be soaked when laying, and the glazed wall tiles and floor tiles used for kitchen and bathroom generally have a water absorption rate of more than 10%. It is necessary to soak the water (if it is a porcelain wall tile, the water absorption rate is less than 0.5%, of course, there is no need to soak the water). As the consumer asked in the morning, you can have the following answer: The water absorption rate of Enoch polished brick is below 0.5%, which can be ignored as no water absorption. If it is foamed, the anti-staining wax on the surface will be washed off, and the construction will not be well protected. The brick surface will be contaminated or smeared.
How to soak the tiles?
Since the "bubble" is said, the tiles must be completely immersed in the water, and the general construction party will prepare a large basin. However, there are also some irresponsible construction teams that pick up the tiles and use water pipes to pour water on them. This will only wet the tiles, and they will not allow the tiles to be fully "drinked". After laying, there may be various problems.
How long is the bubble suitable?
There is no specific standard due to the different water absorption rates of different tiles. But the end result is that the tiles "satisfy" the water and no longer bubble. If the water absorption rate is high, it will take a little longer. Due to the humidness of the air during the rainy season, the time should be shortened accordingly; when the hot weather is dry, the time will increase accordingly.
Improper soaking water will lose porcelain?
When the tiles are placed in the basin, the glazed face is facing up and the pottery face is facing down. If the glazed face is facing down, the tile corners will bump each other and it is easy to drop porcelain. When the bricks are removed from the basin, the ground should be packed with a carton, and the tiles should be placed against the wall with the glazed side facing up. If it is reversed, it is the sharp corner of the glaze, because the corner of the tile is very brittle and it is easy to get rid of porcelain.
Can the tiles that have been soaked in water be retired?
Generally, when we buy tiles, we will consider the loss and other issues, so when buying bricks, everyone will buy more, then if you put the tiles on the tiles, you can’t retreat after the extra tiles are soaked. Darken, there will be a noticeable color difference between the old and new tiles. Moreover, when the water is soaked, the tiles of the first water are soaked, and the color will be different from the tile of the second water.
Summary: Tile water is a must-have before laying tiles, but tiles should use a few pieces of foam, do not soak all the tiles at once, otherwise the tiles that are soaked in water can not be retired , causing unnecessary losses.
