Ten things to be determined before bricklayers stick bricks.

Be sure to confirm these details with the bricklayer before sticking bricks! Otherwise it's too late to regret it.

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

1, tiled typesetting problem

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 the size problem can be adjusted in time. After a paste, there will definitely be problems such as shape mismatch and uneven gap on the back.

2. Build the wall according to the ground method and customize the wall.

Earth pressure wall, floor tile and wall brick, the construction method is to stick tiles from bottom to top, and then spread them. 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.

The wall is pressed against the ground, and 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 press the wall and lay bricks on the ground. Hanging bricks have no bearing, and 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.

3, used for upside-down use and fixed protection.

Masons always have to deal with external corners when paving wall tiles, and there are two common ways to deal with them. The first is chamfering, and the second is corner protection.

Chamfering: Grind the sides of two tiles separately, so that the sides of the two tiles are completely attached. 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 is to 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. If you don't make it clear in advance that you don't want to stick corner strips, you should chamfer the corners of Haitang. After the wall brick is built, it feels so ugly that you can only spend money to repair it.

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.

4. Dry paving, wet paving or rubber paving?

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.

5. 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, forming cracks and arching, the general master will leave seams. 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.

6. 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 it is not soaked in water, the water in cement mortar will dry up, which will lead to the return of goods.

Tiles fall off, so be sure to soak in water when paving. It is necessary to calculate the number of bricks needed, so as not to soak the tiles with water absorption less than 0.5% when paving. On the contrary, soaking water will not absorb the moisture of cement mortar, which will lead to the instability of ceramic tiles.

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.

Of course, there are also some network celebrities paving the way, with high value and complicated splicing. The master may increase the money. If you want to do it, you have to ask if you need to add money.

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.

What should bricklayers prepare before entering the site?

1: water deflector

The shower bar should also be purchased in advance, and the bricklayer can be embedded under the tile in advance after entering the venue, which is both beautiful and waterproof. Otherwise, it can only be installed on tiles in the future.

2. Cement

Cement must be bought in advance. Bricklayers suggest buying 325 cement before entering the site. Strength and white flexibility are just right.

3. Safety door

The owner who is going to change the security door must change it before the bricklayer enters the site, so that the bricklayer can fill the vacancy. Moreover, the bricklayer's tiling leveling should also refer to the lower mouth of the security door to determine.

4: flue check valve

The flue check valve is to prevent the oil fume from flowing back. Before bricklayers stick bricks, confirm the size of the range hood before buying. When bricklayers stick bricks, they should open holes according to the size of the check valve and install them in front of the kitchen ceiling.

5: hydropower identification zone

Buy a roll online for 3 yuan. Remember to remind the bricklayer to clearly mark the water and electricity lines with the water and electricity marking tape after bricklaying. Function: to prevent water from being accidentally penetrated when installing hardware in the later stage.

5: Floor drain

The floor drain will be used when sticking bricks, and it will be ready before the bricklayer enters the site. If you buy temporarily, choose less and the price is expensive. Remember that the floor drain must buy a deodorant core. If you don't know how much to buy, you can ask the project manager to help you calculate.

7: Large floor tiles

At present, 80*80 floor tiles are mostly used. If you want to use large flat floor tiles, you must prepare a special tile binder, otherwise the large flat floor tiles will fall off the wall in less than half a year.

8: Tiles

Ceramic tiles should also be purchased in advance and sent to the construction site. Remember to give the merchant a word card. The bricklayer's+card for setting the gap distance of floor tiles is 2.5mm, and the wall tiles are 1.5 mm, which is neat and beautiful.

9: soundproof cotton

If you don't want to sleep well at night, be sure to prepare soundproof cotton in advance. There are thick soundproof cotton merchants with glue on the Internet who will also send cable ties, which is convenient to use and has a very good mute effect.

10: Temporary toilet

People have three urgent needs, and decorators also need toilets, so temporary toilets are essential. A few dollars to buy a good quality can always be used until the end.

1 1: waterproof material

After the ground waterproofing is finished, it is necessary to lay 5cm thick floor tiles to ensure that the waterproof layer is not destroyed.

Knowledge point: the ground should be waterproof with viscosity, and the wall brick with good effect needs viscosity, so it should be waterproof with rigidity.

12: human feelings

This is also the most easily overlooked point by many people, thinking that if I give him money to work, things will be solved. Actually, it's not. You should know that this is for your own decoration, so man-made accidents are inevitable. The mineral water and snacks in my home decoration site have never been broken, and occasionally I sold a pack of cigarettes. Don't worry, you won't lose money. Being a master of a bricklayer will make your works much more exquisite.
