Bricklaying must be confirmed by the bricklayer.

This 10 event must be confirmed with the bricklayer before sticking bricks.

Be sure to confirm these ten things with the bricklayer before sticking bricks. 1. Tile typesetting

Tiles should be typeset before paving, according to drawings or on-site typesetting.

Typesetting should be considered comprehensively, whether it is necessary to lay the floor, whether it is necessary to sew the kitchen and bathroom walls, whether it is necessary to threshold stones, how to waste less tiles, hide small tiles, and use a few millimeters of cross cards. For ceramic tiles with shapes, they must be typeset on site and have sizes.

Problems can be adjusted in time.

After a paste, there will definitely be problems such as shape mismatch and uneven gap on the back.

Do you want to soak the tiles in water?

Be sure to tell the bricklayer what tiles you bought and whether you want to soak them in water.

The water absorption of traditional ceramic tiles is high, which is more than 10%. If you don't soak in water, it will absorb the water in the cement mortar, which will lead to the tile falling off, so you must soak in water when paving. The number of bricks needed should be calculated well, which will not affect the return of the remaining bricks. Tiles with water absorption less than 0.5% need not be soaked in water when paving. On the contrary, soaking water will not absorb the moisture of cement mortar, which will lead to the instability of ceramic tiles.

3. Wall pressing or wall pressing?

Ground pressure wall:

The construction method of floor tile pressing wall brick is to stick brick from bottom to top.

Then lay the floor tiles.

Advantages: simple construction, and the wall brick is not easy to fall off. Masons usually paste by default.

Disadvantages: this method will leave cracks, and poor paving may form water accumulation.

Wall pressure:

The wall brick is pressed against the floor tile. When sticking wall tiles, leave a row of bricks at the bottom, then stick them up from the second row, and then stick the first row of wall tiles after sticking the bricks.

Advantages: the water on the wall will not flow into the gap to form stagnant water, and the joint is small and more beautiful.

Disadvantages: it is difficult to lay bricks on the wall, and the hanging bricks have no bearing. The first row of tiles should be polished, cut and leveled.

If the bricklayer's workmanship is not up to standard, the wall tiles are easy to empty and fall off.

Many owners tend to press the wall on the ground, and bricklayers default to press the wall. If there is no good communication in advance, the consequences can be imagined.

4, used for hanging upside down, but also for protection.

Bricklayers always deal with external corners when sticking wall tiles. The second is to protect the corners.

Cheap money can ensure the coexistence of beauty and practicality.

There are two common treatment methods. First of all, chamfering, chamfering: the sides of two tiles are polished separately to make the sides of the two tiles completely fit.

Advantages: beautiful and beautiful, and the joints of ceramic tiles are not easy to shelter evil people from evil.

Disadvantages: The bricklayer's skill is relatively high and the treatment is not good. Ceramic tiles are easy to crack and collapse, and the loss of ceramic tiles will increase a lot.

Corner protector: wrap this convex corner with corner protector.

Advantages: cheap and money-saving, simple and fast construction.

Disadvantages: the low face value affects the effect of the whole house and feels like a rented house.

In order to save trouble and convenience, masons usually do corner protectors by default when laying tiles. We must find out in advance,

Tips: If you are worried that there will be bumps in your daily life, it is safer to choose corner bars. But we must use high-quality corner guards instead of the cheap corner guards of 10 yuan, so as to ensure the coexistence of beauty and practicality.

5. Dry shop, wet shop or plastic shop?

Different paving techniques have different effects on tile paving.

Dry paving: it can reduce the hollowing rate of tiles, and it does not require high ground flatness, but it tests the bricklayer's technology.

Wet paving: the construction difficulty is low, but the tiles are easy to empty, which requires high ground flatness.

Glue paving: it belongs to thin tile pasting. After the tiles are pasted, the thickness is much thinner than that of cement mortar. The advantage of using special tile adhesive is that the construction is simple and convenient, it can also increase the bonding ability of tiles, reduce the hollowing rate of tiles, and save space compared with ordinary adhesive methods, but the price is much more expensive than traditional cement mortar.

Ceramic tile laying, dry laying, wet laying or rubber laying? What kind of paving method is used in which place? All these require us to discuss with the bricklayer in advance. In order to save trouble, the bricklayer chose wet paving, and the tiles were empty in the later period. The owner can only admit that he is unlucky and blame himself for not making it clear in advance.

6. Do you want to hook or sew beautifully?

Tile paving, in order to prevent the tiles from squeezing each other due to thermal expansion and contraction to form cracks and arching, the general master will leave cracks. At this time, we have to communicate with the master to determine whether the tiles should be stitched or stitched beautifully. How big is the gap between tiles?

If you don't communicate with the bricklayer in advance and want to make beautiful joints, the tiles at home are too small to make beautiful joints. The tiles in the house are too big, and the tiles in the whole house may have to be repainted.

In order to form a beautiful joint, the gap between tiles should be at least 2-3mm.

If there is no fine seam, the default seam distance for ordinary tiles is1-1.5mm. ..

(5mm should be reserved for matte bricks such as antique bricks)

Tips: It is popular in the south to use large tiles as floor tiles or upper walls, which can be paved with tight joints or micro-joints. After the completion, there are no cracks in the tiles, and the cracks in the tiles are controlled within 1 mm, which cannot be done in the north due to climatic reasons.

7. Floor drain paving fee

Communicate with the bricklayer in advance about the laying style of floor drain. At present, zigzag paving is still relatively mainstream, with simple shape, and the surrounding four tiles will make a slope in the direction of floor drain, with fast drainage speed, no water accumulation, exquisite and practical.

8. Remind the master to use a professional hole opener.

Many times tiles need to be perforated. If you don't use a professional punching machine, the tiles will break if you are not careful when punching, and it will be very troublesome to replace them.

9, residual brick processing problems

Remember to make it clear to the master that if a brick with color difference or defect is found during construction, don't soak it in water or paste it, and put it aside to inform you to deal with it. Otherwise, it won't be worthwhile to rework one or two defective bricks in the future.

10, indicating the location of water and electricity pipelines.

Tell the master to mark the location of the water and electricity pipeline with tape after pasting the wall tiles. When installing the bathroom and hardware in the later stage, it is necessary to punch holes in the wall tiles, so as to avoid the marked position and avoid punching through the water pipes.
