What are the advantages and difficulties of using Tile Glue in tile renovation projects?
Publish Time: 2024-08-02
In tile renovation projects, Tile Glue has significant advantages. First, Tile Glue has good adhesion. During renovation, it can firmly stick new tiles to the surface or base of old tiles, without the need to remove old tiles on a large scale, saving time and labor costs. Compared with traditional methods, it reduces damage to the building structure, which is especially important for some older buildings. Secondly, Tile Glue is relatively easy to use. Its construction thickness is thin, and it does not need to be applied as thickly as cement mortar. For renovation projects with limited space, it can avoid taking up too much space and ensure that the size of the space after renovation is not affected too much. Moreover, Tile Glue has a certain degree of flexibility and can adapt to slight deformation of the base. In the case of some slight settlement that may exist in old buildings, it can still ensure the firm adhesion of tiles and reduce the risk of hollowing and cracking of tiles.
However, Tile Glue also faces some difficulties in tile renovation projects. On the one hand, the treatment of the surface of old tiles is a key issue. If there is oil, dust or other contaminants on the surface of old tiles, it will seriously affect the bonding effect of Tile Glue. Cleaning the surface of old tiles requires appropriate methods and cleaning agents, and it must be cleaned thoroughly, which increases the complexity and workload of construction. On the other hand, the cost of Tile Glue may be higher than that of traditional cement mortar. In renovation projects, cost control is an important factor, and higher material costs may cause some owners to have concerns. Moreover, in some humid environments, the drying and curing of Tile Glue may be affected, and additional moisture-proof measures need to be taken to ensure its normal performance. In addition, if the renovation project involves the mixed use of tiles of different types and specifications, the adaptability of Tile Glue is required to be higher, and it is necessary to select appropriate Tile Glue products and accurately adjust the construction process to ensure the overall bonding effect. In short, although Tile Glue has advantages in tile renovation projects, it also needs to overcome related difficulties to better play its role.
