Why use a tile locator during the process of decorating and tiling? (Wenzhou Zhaohong Plastic Co., Ltd.)

When laying tiles, it is necessary to leave gaps, regardless of whether the tiles belong to "seamless tiles" or "round edge tiles"! The main reasons are as follows:

1) Ceramic tiles have thermal expansion and contraction problems

Ceramic tiles and cement mortar used for tile pasting will have problems of thermal expansion and contraction. During temperature or moderate changes, ceramic tiles and cement mortar will have certain expansion and contraction. If no joints are left, it will cause ceramic tiles to bulge or crack during later use.

2) Ceramic tiles have errors

Although ceramic tiles are all produced mechanically, there may be certain dimensional errors during the product production process (if the error is too large, it belongs to the quality problem of the product). If no joints are left, it is easy to have uneven joints during tile laying, which affects the beauty of the tiles.

3) There are errors made by the construction workers during the construction process

The laying of tiles is a highly skilled construction project, and workers cannot completely ensure that each tile is laid without errors throughout the entire laying process. The effect of tiles laid by workers in different situations, such as bad mood, day and night, will vary. If no joints are left, it is also difficult to ensure the flatness of the tile joints, which affects the aesthetics of tile laying.
