What are the skills of tile protection? After the tiles at home are laid, they must be maintained and protected if they want to maintain their original luster. Next, Bian Xiao will explain the skills of ceramic tile protection.

Magic weapon of ceramic tile protection: using corner protector

Advantages: it can not only protect the corner of the tile, but also play the role of decoration and covering the gap.

Corner protection of ceramic tile is a line (also called corner line) that protects the corner of ceramic tile. One side is flaky and inserted into the wall during construction. The exposed sectors cover the corners of the tiles. Colors are golden yellow, rose gold, silver gray, stainless steel mirror color and so on. Materials are generally plastic, aluminum alloy, stainless steel and PVC.

The outer corner of traditional ceramic tile is generally right-angled, so families with children can buy thick ceramic tile with inverted arc corner protector to solve the potential safety hazard. In terms of materials, it is recommended to choose stainless steel corner protectors. The corner protector made of aluminum alloy is soft, and it will sag and deform when it is slightly collided or squeezed during construction.

Corner protectors can not only protect the corners of tiles, but also beautify and cover up the defects of tiles. For example, some tiles have irregular sections, and it is difficult to achieve perfect joints at the joints of the outer corners, so the corner protectors can cover them up.

The magic weapon of ceramic tile protection: joint sealant

Benefits: high pollution resistance, strengthening the mildew resistance of the bathroom.

Generally, floor tiles are not easy to get moldy and dirty. Most dirty tiles are caused by moldy or dusty cracks between tiles. In the traditional tile construction, cement and silica gel are used instead of caulking agent, even without caulking agent. In fact, this problem can be prevented as long as good caulking agent is used in tile construction.

The most suitable time to use caulking agent is 48 hours after the tile is pasted. Before construction, stones in brick joints should be removed, and the construction environment should be ventilated and dehumidified. During construction, the materials used should be stirred evenly, and the pigment should be pressed into the gap like dirt, and then the residue on the brick surface should be cleaned up. You can also use caulking agent to fill the cracks that have peeled off, but the color may be slightly uneven.

The quality of caulking agent is very important to the use effect. At present, there are four kinds of caulking agents on the market: cement, silica gel, cement, latex and epoxy resin. Most caulking agents need to add latex to improve wear resistance, viscosity and elasticity.

The magic weapon of tile protection: waxing

Benefits: improve waterproof and antifouling performance, keep bright and prolong service life.

Don't think that only the floor needs waxing. In fact, waxing tiles is also a good way to protect materials! After the tile is laid, a layer of wax can improve its waterproof and antifouling properties. If it's no trouble, polishing and waxing can be done once every 2-3 months, and only four times a year can make the tiles at home last and beautiful, and prolong their life.

When waxing the floor tile, pay attention to clean the surface of the tile before waxing, and spread the wax evenly on the floor tile. Generally, you can't step on the surface within 8 hours after waxing, waiting for air drying. If the edge or middle of the tile is slightly damaged, you can paste a small part with white latex.

If it is re-waxing, it needs to be treated with a wax remover. Spray the wax remover evenly for about 15 minutes, wait for the wax remover to penetrate into the tile, then wet the tile with water, and finally wax it, and the tile will be bright. Golden light!

The magic weapon of tile protection: anti-oil paste

Benefits: Oil-resistant lazy people are good helpers and easy to clean.

The kitchen is a heavy oil fume area in the home, and the tiles inside are the easiest to get dirty and the most difficult to clean. Kitchen tiles will fade after being used for a long time, which makes people feel plugged. However, sticking an oil-proof sticker on the kitchen tile before use can easily solve this problem.

After the tiles are laid, it is best to stick anti-oil stickers on cooking areas such as cookers and range hoods, as well as tiles that may be seriously polluted by oil pollution, because this is the place where oil spills, oil stains and the quality of tiles are most likely to be damaged. Pay attention to the matching with the decoration style and color of the space when sticking the sticker. When cleaning, use a dish cloth, put some detergent on it, and brush it like a dish (steel balls are not allowed, the hardness is higher), which is very convenient.
