First, why do tiles have to leave gaps?
1The seam is laid, which can reflect the beauty between the line and the surface.
2 tiles will also expand and contract
Everyone knows that the floor will be inflated and contracted due to temperature. In fact, there will be tiles. If there are no seams between the tiles and the tiles, it is easy to have problems such as "bunking" or "cracking", which greatly affects the appearance.
3 Tiles also have very small errors in the production. It is easy to appear unevenness when laying seams, which affects the overall appearance.
4 Even the best masters will have a small mistake. If the bricks and bricks are seamless, it is difficult to correct them. On the contrary, if there are seams, just adjust the bricks with deviations.
Second, how big is the gap between the tiles?
Tile gap size recommendations:
1 kitchen wall tiles:
Paving and sewing seams are around 1~1.5mm, not less than 1mm
Tile locators can be used to leave gaps, also called tile crosses, tile clips, and the cross is much more precise than the seams.
2 Antique bricks, matt bricks:
Need to keep the seam around 3~5mm
Many European-style retro-effect home decoration, the use of antique bricks, should be as large as possible, and then use the "fine seam" to sew.
3 polished glazed tiles, full polished glaze, microcrystalline stone:
Spread the seam at about 1.5-2mm
The gap of the floor tiles is generally not too large. If it is too large, it is easy to accumulate dirt and affect the cleaning.
Warm little post:
When you buy ceramic tiles, you can also consult the sales merchant for a special cross for the tile. The cross width of the tile has 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 5mm, etc. The cross can make the tile joints straight and even. In addition, if the tiles are laid in the winter, it should also be noted that the seams should be slightly enlarged to prevent thermal expansion and contraction, and the caulking will squeeze each other.
