Product knowledge of tile locator

 

 

Ceramic tile locator, also known as tile clamp, plastic tile locator or plastic cross, is a positioning tool for bonding ceramic tiles. It originated abroad and is now widely used in China, especially when laying antique tiles. The design of this tool aims to improve the effectiveness and quality of tile laying, and solve problems such as unevenness and gaps that may occur after tile pasting. The tile locator is made of green and environmentally friendly HDPE new material, which has the advantages of good toughness, strong tensile strength, non toxicity, impact resistance, moisture resistance, chemical resistance, etc. It is also non explosive and can be recycled and reused, which is both environmentally friendly and economical.

 

 

 

The method of using a tile locator is relatively simple and mainly includes the following steps:

 

 

 

Prepare the pull ring and triangular cone.

 

Apply adhesive on ceramic tiles.

 

Insert a triangular pyramid.

 

Squeeze tightly.

 

After completion, use a soft hammer to remove the triangular cone and pull ring.

 

After removing the pull ring, it can be used as an adjusting piece to adjust the gaps between tiles.

 

The main functions of tile locator include:

 

 

 

Adjust the gap size between tiles to ensure that they are neatly and beautifully applied, making the gaps between tiles consistent and even.

 

Simplify the construction process, improve the efficiency of tile laying by construction personnel, and save a lot of construction costs.

 

In use, under normal circumstances, two tiles are paired with a tile locator. The 5mm tile locator can be removed and recycled after the tiles are almost dry.

 

In addition, tile locators are also suitable for laying wall tiles, which can help achieve perfect laying results and avoid uneven laying caused by construction differences. Although some masters may find using a locator troublesome and choose other methods such as using packaging bags instead, professional tiling work still recommends using a tile locator to ensure the best tiling effect.
