Can you tile in the dog days?

Dog days are the hottest time of the year. July16-August 24, 2020 It will be very hard to work or travel in the dog days, and so will the house decoration. Due to the high temperature, some processes of decoration construction will inevitably be affected. Next, I'll talk to you about how to stick tiles in dog days and the precautions for sticking tiles in dog days.

Can you tile in the dog days?

There is nothing wrong with laying tiles in dog days, but it will accelerate the setting speed of cement mortar or binder, and you can enter the next process as soon as possible. However, due to the rapid evaporation of water in dog days, the tiled tiles should be watered and maintained on time.

Matters needing attention in tiling in dog days

1, prolong the soaking time of ceramic tile.

Tiles need to be soaked before laying. In the dog days of summer, the temperature is high and the water evaporates too fast. If we do it according to the proportion of water in the usual decoration, the water will evaporate quickly, which may lead to the construction quality problems caused by the too fast drying of tiles after paving. If the water consumption is not appropriate, the tiles are easy to empty and scatter after laying. Therefore, during tile construction, the water consumption should be slightly increased compared with the decoration in other seasons, so as to make the moisture of tiles close to saturation as far as possible, and avoid problems such as empty drum of tiles, unstable cement bonding and tile falling off when paving.

Usually when decorating, the tiles should be soaked for 15 minutes, and in the dog days of summer, the maximum soaking time is 25 minutes. Some all-ceramic tiles and vitrified tiles need to be properly extended. Take Foshan Jin Duo ceramic tile, known as the "originator of polished tiles", as an example. The better the ceramic tile, the worse its water absorption, so the soaking time is longer.

2. Correctly treat tile joint paving.

There is a strange phenomenon in the market now, that is, seamless tiling is beautiful. In fact, when paving tiles, it is necessary to leave seams, but too large or too small gaps in tile paving will affect the paving effect. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a good sense of proportion when paving tiles, especially in the dog days of summer, when paving tiles, the gaps should be arranged more closely than before, so as to avoid the gap becoming larger when the temperature drops and affecting the appearance. But the gap should not be too small, so as to avoid the arch deformation after the tile expands due to moisture.

3, consider the mood of the shop is stuck.

The high temperature in dog days is easy to make people fidgety, especially paving workers working in hot and humid environment. If the paving workers are in a bad mood, it is easy to directly affect the construction quality. However, summer is the off-season of decoration, and there are few projects. Workers don't need to rush to work, so they can concentrate on working hard for the owners and make quality products. Therefore, owners who choose summer decoration should also pay more attention to paving workers and communicate with them calmly.

4, ensure ventilation, volatile harmful substances.

Here, we should also carefully remind you that no matter how detailed the national standards are and how strict the environmental protection testing is, more or less harmful substances in the ceramic tile bonding materials will be released to a large part of the outdoor relatively quickly in the normal construction process. The dog days in summer are a peak of indoor air pollution. With the increase of temperature and humidity, the release of harmful gases will also increase. Statistics show that indoor air pollution detection in summer will be about 20% higher than that in other seasons. Therefore, in order to release more harmful substances in this season, we should first increase indoor and outdoor ventilation, and secondly try to keep indoor dry.
