The method of laying floor tiles first or laying floor tiles on the wall first
Floor tiles or walls first?
1, the characteristics of different sequences. Different people have different answers, and different orders have different characteristics. If the tiles are laid first in the decoration process, it is necessary to wait for a period of time after the floor is laid to ensure that the adhesive is dry enough and the laid tiles are firm enough before the wall decoration. During this period, it is necessary to cover the ground to prevent the dust generated in the decoration process from falling on the ground, which will bring difficulties to the later cleaning work; However, if the wall is decorated first and then the floor tiles are laid, the required working hours are relatively short, and it is not necessary to wait until the wall is painted dry before laying the floor. But be careful not to touch the newly painted wall to avoid damage. Moreover, attention should be paid to the protection of the wall surface during the decoration process to prevent the wall surface from being bumped by other construction operations or getting stuck on the painted wall surface during the decoration process.
2. Advantages and disadvantages of different sequences. In the process of home improvement, both methods can be carried out, but different sequences have different advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of laying tiles first and then painting the wall surface is that it can better protect the wall surface, and if the shielding work of the ground is in place, it can also protect the ground from damage and pollution. However, this method takes a long time, and it is necessary to wait until the ground laying work is completely completed and guaranteed to be firm before the wall decoration work can be carried out; The advantage of painting the wall before laying the floor tiles is that it takes less time than the former. After painting the wall, you can directly spread the floor decoration materials until the wall is completely dry. However, it should be noted that it is also a disadvantage of this method to prevent the wall from being damaged during the decoration process. In the process of decoration, it is inevitable that there will be large-scale construction work, which will easily damage the unfinished wall. If it is serious, it needs to be reworked. This not only increases working hours, but also increases manpower and material resources.
3. Which is better in different decoration order? After understanding the characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of the two methods, let's see which order is good. Under normal circumstances, people will leave the floor decoration until the end, and finally lay the floor tiles or floors under the condition of ensuring that everything else is perfect, which not only protects the floor decoration materials, but also achieves better wall and floor decoration effects. Of course, it can also be done in the order of building first and then wall. Although there are many working hours, it is safer.
Method of laying floor tiles
1. If you are laying tiles on the floor, the floor of the bedroom must be leveled first to avoid hollowing out in the future. Then, for some uneven places, cement mortar can be used to smooth them out. In addition, the floors of the kitchen and bathroom must be tilted to facilitate drainage in the future.
2. If the wall is brick, the wall covering should be leveled first. Then, be sure to install the paving from the bottom up, and one wall cannot be glued to the top at a time; The middle of the glue should be slightly higher than the surrounding areas, and it should be struck with a rubber hammer to avoid air accumulation in the glue layer, so that the tiles can be well fixed on the wall.
3, for the kitchen and bathroom walls, but also pay attention to the treatment of waterproof layer, because replacing tiles usually destroys the original cement mortar waterproof layer, especially the bathroom itself is relatively humid, so it is very necessary to pay attention to the waterproof layer. The correct operation step is to coat a layer of asphalt waterproof layer before paving tiles, and the gaps between tiles can be filled with cement or waterproof caulking agent.
4. whether the floor or the wall is paved with tiles, the tiles should be soaked in water for half a day. Be very careful when laying, not only the angle should be accurate, but also the interface should be fixed correctly. After all the local bricks are laid, remember to cover them with cardboard In addition, the most important thing to pay attention to when laying tiles is that you have to wait at least 24 hours before you can walk on the brick surface and touch the wall.
