Hollowing rate detection method
There are several common methods for detecting the hollowing rate between Tile Glue and ceramic tiles. The first is the tapping method, which uses a small hammer or other similar tools to gently tap the surface of the tile and judge the hollowing situation by listening to the sound. The sound of the hollowing place is relatively crisp, while the sound of the well-bonded place is relatively dull. The second is to use professional hollowing detection instruments, such as hollowing hammers, ultrasonic detectors, etc. These instruments can more accurately detect the location and range of hollowing. During the inspection, the tiles need to be fully inspected according to certain rules to ensure the accuracy of the results.
Preventive measures during the construction process
During the construction process, strict control of each link is the key to preventing hollowing. First of all, the base layer should be properly processed to ensure that the surface of the base layer is flat, clean, free of oil and loose objects, etc. If necessary, roughening can be performed to increase the adhesion between Tile Glue and the base layer. Secondly, the selection of Tile Glue should be appropriate. According to factors such as the type, size and use environment of the tile, choose Tile Glue with corresponding performance, and correctly mix and stir according to the product instructions to ensure the quality and performance of Tile Glue.
Key points of construction operation
Whether the construction operation is standardized directly affects the bonding effect of Tile Glue and tiles. When applying Tile Glue, ensure that it is applied evenly and with moderate thickness to avoid local glue shortage or excessive glue layer. When pasting tiles, the kneading method should be used to gently knead the tiles until they fit tightly with the base layer, expel air, and ensure that Tile Glue fully fills the gap between the tiles and the base layer. At the same time, pay attention to the gaps between the tiles to avoid hollowing caused by the mutual squeezing of tiles due to thermal expansion and contraction.
Post-maintenance and inspection
After the construction is completed, appropriate maintenance measures will help improve the bonding strength of Tile Glue and reduce the occurrence of hollowing. Before Tile Glue is fully cured, avoid walking on the tiles or applying external force, and keep the construction environment dry and ventilated. In addition, within a certain period of time after construction, hollowing inspections should be carried out in a timely manner, and hollowing problems should be repaired in time to prevent the problem from expanding. For cases where the hollowing area is large or the hollowing rate exceeds the specified standard, rework should be carried out in a timely manner to ensure the quality of tile paving.
Through the comprehensive application of the above detection methods and preventive measures, the hollowing rate between Tile Glue and tiles can be effectively controlled, and the quality and service life of tile paving can be improved.
