Is the tile wet or dry?

Tiling, different teachers have different paving methods, but wet paving and dry paving are common. There is no difference between the two methods. Personally, I think these two methods are aimed at different kinds of tiles.

▲ Wet paving is suitable for laying tiles. Wet paving is generally aimed at flat surfaces, and the paving thickness should not be too thick. If the shop is too thick, it will easily lead to empty drum and warping. Generally, the wet paving method is mostly wall tiles, and some masters use it to lay floor tiles.

▲ Dry-laid tiles suitable for paving are dry-laid with cement and sand at the ratio of 1:4, and then mixed with a small amount of water. The final product can be held in your hand and will blossom when you land. Because it cannot be independent and has adhesion, it is only suitable for laying floor tiles.

▲ Advantages of dry paving of floor tiles Dry paving can be used for floors with different flatness, and it is not easy to make tiles slip. Compared with wet paving, wet paving is not easy to control the overall flatness and the flatness of a single tile, and it is easy to empty and slide.

▲ The correct operation steps of dry paving are 1: Clean the ground that needs to be paved, draw a horizontal line with a level, and measure the lowest point to see if the lowest point reaches the thickness that needs to be paved, with a thickness of at least 5 ~ 8 cm.

2. Sprinkle water on the ground, then sprinkle cement powder, and sweep the cement powder to every place with a broom into a paste, just like the wall roughening, to enhance the firmness with the ground.

3. Nail a horizontal line on both sides of the corner and find a right angle. Of course, you can also locate the right angle line with the help of the level that can play the right angle line now.

Don't underestimate this right-angle positioning line, which is related to the subsequent overall paving. If the opening is not good at first, there will be many jokes later, such as the more tiles are laid, the more inclined they will be.

4. Pave the mixed dry cement sand ash according to the horizontal line, then lay the floor tile on it and beat it with a rubber hammer until the floor tile is in the same plane with the horizontal line. Remove the floor tile, and fill the place where the dry ash is not dense at the bottom with dry ash.

5. There are two ways to lay floor tiles. One is to pour the slurry, which is to mix cement and water into a very thin paste. Cross the bottom dry ash, pour cement mortar on the dry ash until the surface is soaked, then lay floor tiles on it and knock it flat. Like another wet paving, the pre-mixed cement mortar is smeared on the back of the floor tile like mud, and then spread on the dry ash surface and knocked flat.

6. After the floor tile is leveled, wipe off the cement mortar and surface overflowing from the floor tile surface with a dry cloth. A special plastic cross card can be used for the gap between two floor tiles, generally leaving a gap of 2mm.

Conclusion Dry paving or wet paving is suitable for ceramic tiles. In fact, this problem has long been summed up by bricklayers' long-term experience. Dry paving is used for floor tiles and wet paving is used for wall tiles. Are you right?
