Dec. 05, 2019

Glass mosaics are generally bright and eye-catching, gorgeous and elegant, and can immediately capture the visual focus of the viewer. It is different from other tiles or marble materials. Its zero water absorption makes it an ideal material for wall decoration in bathrooms. It is not easy to hide dirt and is self-cleaning. It has excellent alkali resistance and uniform color. The glaze is applied for a long time, so the original color of the puzzle is preserved.

1. How to choose the mosaic of different application parts?

The practical application of mosaic is very extensive, covering almost all the pasting surfaces. What you need to pay attention to is whether the mosaic is suitable for the environment, such as solid wood mosaic, resin mosaic and hexagon seashell mosaic tile. It is not recommended for swimming pools.

2. What conditions should the grassroots meet when installing mosaics?

The base surface needs to have the strength and curing period required for construction, high flatness, cleanliness, and the surface must be free of impurities such as dust, scum, and oil; if there are cracks, repair and maintenance are required before bonding. If it is outdoors, the hot base surface needs to be sprinkled and cooled before construction.

3. Can the mosaic be attached to the steel plate?

Yes, on steel plates, first remove rust, then use metal interface agent (rust-proof paint) for interface treatment, and use a high polymer content cement-based material for the second layer interface treatment on the surface of the metal interface agent. The surface of the interface treatment layer can be pasted brick glass mosaic with a suitable tile paste material.

4. What is the difference between the construction process of mesh mosaic and paper mosaic?

If it is pasted with bricks and then filled with cracks, there is not much difference in the construction process between the two. After pasting, the paper mosaic needs to be torn and sealed after 24 hours, and the mesh mosaic is not required. If it is a combination of paste and joint filling, the paper mosaic needs to be wet and cleared when the adhesive is initially set, and the gap is cleaned with a sponge; the mesh mosaic can be used to directly clean the gap during the initial set. When laying mosaic tiles on the bathroom floor, you should first find the slope and then use tile adhesive to lay the tiles.

5. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the integrated method of pasting and caulking when pasting mosaics?

Compared with the construction process of pasting and filling the gap, the advantage is that the construction efficiency will be slightly improved; the disadvantage is that the overall construction process will be more tedious, the mosaic is easy to be pulled up when tearing the paper, resulting in reduced bonding strength, and the gap cannot be filled Dense. In addition, the adhesive that satisfies the requirements of the paste generally has a worse caulking effect than the special caulking agent. The whole is more harmful than good.

6. How to ensure the security of bonding with back net and adhesive mosaic?

Neutral tile adhesive should be used as far as possible to prevent the adhesive from falling off.

7. What are the supporting tools for pasting mosaics?
