Magic weapon 1: use corner bars
Tile corner strip is a kind of line that protects the corner of the tile (also called the corner line). It is in the form of a sheet. It is inserted into the wall during construction. The side that is exposed to the fan shape covers the corner of the tile. The material is generally Plastic, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, PVC.
In addition to protecting the tile corners, the corner strips can beautify and mask the tile defects. For example, some tiles have irregular cross-sections, and the corner joints are difficult to seam perfectly, and the corner strips can be covered.
Magic 2: caulk
Most of the tiles are dirty because the cracks in the tiles are mildewed or dust off. To solve this problem, it is enough to use the caulk during the construction of the tiles.
The caulk should be used for 48 hours after the tile is applied. Before the construction, the gravel of the brick joint should be removed. The construction environment should be kept ventilated and dehumidified. The materials used should be evenly mixed during the construction, and the grout should be filled like the soil. Press in the gap and clear the remaining surface of the brick.
Magic weapon three: waxing
After laying the tiles, a layer of wax can improve the water resistance and antifouling properties. Polishing and waxing can be carried out once every 2-3 months. Only four times a year can make the tiles of the home last longer and prolong the life. .
When waxing tiles, pay attention to whether the tiles are clean and tidy before waxing. Generally, it is not allowed to step on the surface within 8 hours after waxing, waiting for it to dry.
If there is a small break in the edge or the middle of the tile, the small part that is dropped can be pasted with white latex.

The kitchen is a heavy place in the home. The tiles are easily soiled and difficult to clean. If used for a long time, the tiles will fade. You can put the tile on a grease-proof sticker before using it in the kitchen. This trouble can be easily solved.
In addition, after the kitchen is finished with tiles, it is best to stick grease-proof stickers on tiles that are more likely to be contaminated with oil, so that it can not only be clean but also protect the tiles.
