What are the construction processes of diatom mud?

Decorating a house is a complicated and tedious matter. Whether it is soft or hard, you need to know the relevant matters in advance. Diatom mud is a popular wall decoration material in recent years, so what should be done before construction? Let me introduce its construction process, hoping to help you.

Diatom Mud Construction Process: Preparing Tools and Materials

Commonly used construction tools for diatom mud wall materials include portable electric mixer, 2-3 20-liter clean white latex barrels and 4 trowels. Pedal ladder, water measuring container, masking tape and other protective articles, brushes, rags and other cleaning articles.

Diatom mud is a powdery material, which needs to be prepared before construction and the dosage should be calculated. Diatom mud products will generally indicate the construction area per kilogram of diatom mud. Therefore, we can measure the building area, determine the texture pattern, and confirm the required amount of diatom mud wall materials accordingly.

Diatom Mud Construction Technology: Basic Treatment

Whether painting latex paint, diatom mud or wallpaper, the wall foundation needs to be treated. The basic treatment of wall generally includes wall leveling, anti-crack treatment and waterproof treatment. Need to scrape putty and brush sealing primer in batches. Attention should be paid to the selection of environmental protection materials in grass-roots treatment, and try to choose accessories with high environmental protection level.

Diatom mud construction process: mixing diatom mud.

1, add a proper amount of water.

Prepare materials and tools, do a good job of basic treatment, and then you can mix diatom mud. The proportion of water needs to be determined according to the texture, and it is best to use a cup when adding water. Avoid directly turning on the tap to fill the bucket with water, and determine the amount of water by experience.

Step 2 add color paste

If you are making colorful diatom mud patterns, you need to add color paste. Not all color pastes are compatible with materials, and the added color pastes must be used together with products of the same brand. When you decide your own color paste, test it in advance. Pay attention to stirring to the bottom of the barrel when stirring, and stir the color paste until it is evenly dispersed.

Step 3 add diatom mud

Check whether the diatom mud packaging bag is complete, remove the dirt outside the packaging bag, and open the packaging bag with scissors to seal it. First, 70% of the materials are slowly poured into the bucket, and then stirred with a blender. After the dry powder and the color paste water are completely mixed, the remaining materials are poured into the bucket and continue to be stirred until the materials become fine paste (no particles or lumps). Stir for a few more minutes before the formal construction.

Diatom mud construction technology: making texture

There is no limit to the texture expression of diatom mud. As long as you have imagination and artistic skills, you can give full play to the construction wall. But ordinary people don't have such strength. So at present, the texture making of diatom mud is mostly made with various tools. On the next page, we will talk about the method of making diatom mud texture in detail.

This paper introduces four processes of diatom mud construction, one is the preparation of tool materials, the other is the basic treatment, the third is the mixing of diatom mud, and the fourth is the texturing. Then, before decorating diatom mud, we should understand the relevant matters clearly, so as to make exquisite background walls and improve the grade of home.
