Everyone knows that winter is cold, and it takes courage to even get up in the morning. Is it because the quilt is holding you down and preventing you from getting up, or because you don’t want to get up at all? This is so true! This is a meme that Mr. Zhongtao saw on Douyin, haha. When it comes to decorating houses in winter, many people will want to know what are the precautions for laying ceramic tiles in winter? Then let’s find out together!
1. Is it good to lay ceramic tiles in winter?
Everyone knows that cement mortar is needed when laying ceramic tiles. If the weather temperature is too low, the mortar will be unevenly mixed and may even freeze, which will affect the effect of laying ceramic tiles. Therefore, strictly speaking, it is recommended that you do not lay ceramic tiles when the room temperature is below 0 degrees. In winter, the temperature can be high or low. You can choose to lay ceramic tiles when the weather is sunny and the temperature is high.
So there are four things to pay attention to when laying ceramic tiles in winter. Let’s take a look at them together! ! !
Note 1 when laying tiles in winter: Pay attention to whether the tiles have been filled before
The ceramic tiles’ grouting agent is not completely dry before they are seamed. No matter how good the material is, it will get damp and even change color. Especially in bathrooms with higher humidity, the lime and white cement used to fill the joints will absorb moisture in the air in rainy or humid weather, causing the beautiful joints to change color or even fail to solidify.
If you find that the grout on the ceramic tiles has become damp when you are doing the caulking, first check whether the ceramic tiles have been filled with grout, what kind of grout was used, and whether the grout has become damp under the prevailing weather conditions? If moisture returns, be sure to use a dryer to dry the gaps.
Note 2 when paving in winter: Keep the room dry
Reducing the moisture content of the air is the most effective way to avoid getting damp.
The temperature is high in spring and summer, and water vapor is easy to evaporate. During construction, the ground must be completely dry before construction. When constructing during the continuous rainy season, pay attention to indoor dryness, reduce the moisture content of the air, do beautiful joint construction, use winter hot fans in the house, or use air conditioners, floor heating, etc. to increase the indoor temperature and solve the indoor humidity problem. After the construction is completed, tell the owner not to wipe it with a wet mop within 48 hours, let alone use a cleaning sander to polish it.
Three things to note when paving in winter: during constructionThe house is airtight
In the first step during construction, pay attention to the airtightness of the house. If you are still worried after completing the first step, you can use dry cotton balls to clean the gaps again. Otherwise, it is easy to have intermittent whitening after curing, the bright film on the surface is blurred, and the golden color cannot come out. It will become bright after being wiped with water, and it will turn white again after the water dries. During the construction process, you must not wipe with water. Wiping with water is more likely to absorb moisture and turn white.
Note 4 when paving in winter: Keep the room dry after construction is completed
Even after construction, windows need to be sealed to prevent rainwater and humid air from entering the room, causing moisture absorption and whitening during the curing process. ?
Do you understand the above four Precautions for laying ceramic tiles in winter? I believe there are many decoration masters who are working hard to decorate their houses now? It’s great because many property owners are rushing to move into new homes. The above is what Zhongtaojun shared with you! Lio la li la O(∩_∩)O haha~
