What is a tile grout? Tile grouts have a very important role in tiles, natural and delicate, shiny, non-fading, and have a strong decorative effect. What are the functions of tile grouts, how to choose? The following small series to come to you! First, the role of tile grout Tiles currently admire seamless paving. Seamlessness is inherently contrary to the normal use of tiles. Tiles should have gaps. Walls or tiles can be thermally deformed. If the seamless stickers will cause the bricks to squeeze each other, the porcelain will be dropped. personal suggestion. Paving bricks with appropriate equal width seams (now selling professional tile cross locators) There are many brands and types of caulking agents currently on the market. Let me talk about the difference between the sealant and the previous white cement. In the long long caulking career, many renovation teams used white cement to fill the seams. The stability of white cement is not strong. It feels good at the beginning, but after a long time, there will be a situation where the surface leaks out of the gap, and there is a discoloration in the damp place, and then the cement is water-absorbent. It also sucks some dirty things on the inside of the tile, causing discoloration. There is also a lot of sealant brands are added with white cement plus solid glue. Such products are not environmentally friendly and are not harmful to the human body (because the glue is a chemical containing benzene). The top products on the market have solved these problems, and they have achieved this function using the most advanced technology available in foreign countries. Tile grout is a colored joint filler made up of cement, fine sand and various polymer additives. The object is powdery and the texture is fine. It is suitable for most of the seams of tiles and stone. The combination of tile grout and water enhances the bond between the tile and the base, the tile and the tile, preventing the tile from expanding and deforming. Some products are more resistant to seepage and mildew. After the tile is solidified, a smooth, porcelain-like clean surface will be formed on the tile seam. It is wear-resistant, waterproof, oil-proof, non-staining, and has excellent self-cleaning properties. It is not easy to hide dirt, easy to clean, and wipe clean. Therefore, it can completely solve the problem that the ubiquitous tile seam is dirty and difficult to clean. Whether it's just renovating a new paving tile seam or a tile seam that has been used for many years. Avoid blackening and dirtying of the gap, affecting the interior beauty, and preventing the mold from harming human health. Tile grout: The upgraded product of tile grouting agent can completely solve the problem of dirty black seams, make the tiles bright and beautiful, never dirty! Environmentally sound: no erosion or pollution of other building materials; Strong adhesion: can adhere to brick, concrete, wood, gypsum board, hard board, fireproof board, ceramic, aluminum and painted surface; Excellent weatherability: can withstand bad weather, can be used indoors or outdoors; Can be painted: when the surface is dry, it can be painted; special wide seams, preferably painted after 48 hours; Elasticity: It is suitable for sealing seams with vibration (no sag, peeling or cracking); convenient and easy to use: easy to clean with water or wet cloth when not dry Second, how to choose ceramic tile sealant The basic function of the caulking agent is to fully fill the gap between the ceramic tiles, so the seam width of the design should be especially considered when selecting the caulking agent: the narrower the seam, the higher the workability of the caulking agent is. The wider the seam, the more restrictive the restriction of the amount of shrinkage of the caulk. It is generally suitable for fillers with a larger particle size for caulks with a seam width of 3 mm or more. This approach not only reduces costs, improves wear resistance, but more importantly controls shrinkage. The choice of caulk must also depend on the particular service conditions of the ceramic tile system and the type of load it is required to withstand. For example, it is necessary to avoid pollution and high hygienic requirements to apply chemically resistant and almost non-absorbent reactive type (RG); and high dynamic load to apply high wear-resistant modified type (CG2A). The nine models of the caulking agent in China's current JC/T1004-2006 (ie, the third part and the fourth part of the international standard ISO13007:2004), and the lateral deformation ability S1, S2 can cope with various complicated combination conditions.
