Due to its unique material and thickening characteristics, Thickened Amethyst Stone has some special requirements during construction.
First of all, the base treatment is crucial. Compared with ordinary tiles, Thickened Amethyst Stone is heavier, so it has higher requirements for the flatness and strength of the base. Before construction, it is necessary to carefully check the base floor or wall to ensure that there are no cracks, hollows and other problems. For uneven bases, leveling treatment is required to ensure the flatness after the tiles are laid. Cement mortar or self-leveling materials can be used for leveling to ensure that the base is firm and flat.
In the selection of pasting materials, tile adhesive with high bonding strength is required. Ordinary cement mortar may not provide enough bonding force to fix thickened tiles, which may easily cause tiles to hollow or fall off. High-quality tile adhesive has good flexibility and anti-slip properties, and can better adapt to the weight and size of thickened tiles. When mixing tile adhesive, add water and stir in strict accordance with the proportion in the product instructions to ensure that its bonding performance reaches the best state.
The paving method is also different. Since Thickened amethyst stone is heavier, it needs to be laid more carefully. It is generally recommended to lay from bottom to top and from inside to outside. When applying tile adhesive, cover the base evenly and fully, then press the tile gently on it, and tap it gently with a rubber hammer to make it fully fit the base. At the same time, pay attention to controlling the gap between tiles, and use a suitable tile cross to ensure the uniformity of the gap.
Special cutting and splicing are required for the treatment of corners and edges. Due to the high hardness of thickened tiles, professional tile cutting tools such as electric cutters are required when cutting, and ensure that the cutting surface is flat and smooth. When splicing the corners, pay attention to the angle of the tiles and the tightness of the splicing to avoid excessive gaps or unsightly situations.
In addition, the temperature and humidity of the construction environment will also affect the construction of Thickened amethyst stone. In an environment where the temperature is too low or too high and the humidity is too high, the drying time and bonding performance of the tile adhesive may be affected. Therefore, try to choose to carry out construction under suitable temperature and humidity conditions.
Finally, after the tiles are laid, proper maintenance is required. Avoid walking or placing heavy objects on the tile surface for a certain period of time to allow the tile adhesive to fully dry and solidify. At the same time, pay attention to keeping the construction site well ventilated to speed up the drying process.
In short, the construction of Thickened amethyst stone needs to be strictly carried out in accordance with special requirements. From the base treatment, the selection of adhesive materials, the laying method to the treatment and maintenance of the yin and yang corners, etc., it is necessary to carefully control the quality and effect of the tile laying, so as to show its unique beauty and quality.
