Speaking of the Tile Acceptance Standards, this is not the first time that the editor has written about this article. Most people think that the tile acceptance standards are a bit too troublesome. There are so many steps. For the sake of original intention, the editor will once again share with you the steps of the ceramic tile acceptance standards! All you need are these 4 words, let’s find out together!
These four words are look, listen, ask, and compare. Isn’t it very simple? Let’s read on!
Look
1. Surface
Check whether there are any missing edges, fallen corners, or falling porcelain. In addition to the quality factors of the product itself, you should also pay attention to the protection of the finished product after construction;
2. Chamfer
The seams between the two ceramic tiles at the sun corners should be chamfered at 45°, otherwise the overall appearance will be affected.
3. Dual seams
The gaps between bricks should be even and flush. Too large or too small will not look good. Usually many masters will use toothpicks to control the spacing when paving.
4. Make a hole
There are many pipelines in the kitchen and bathroom, and we often encounter the problem of making holes in the ceramic tiles. Therefore, during the acceptance inspection, you can focus on checking whether the size of the hole is correct and whether the corners are smooth.
5. Color
When applying tiles, focus on whether the joints between the patterns are natural and smooth, and whether there are any problems with misplaced or uneven tiles.
Listen
Check for hollow tiles: Knock the surface of the tiles with your hands or a drum hammer. If the tiles are laid properly, the sound will be dull. On the contrary, if the tiles are hollow, they will fall off easily in the future and must be knocked out.
Ask
1. Soaking time
The tiles must be soaked in water before laying. The soaking time depends on their density. When checking and accepting the tiles, you can ask the master how long they have been soaked. Generally, it is better if there are no blisters in the basin, about 2 hours is better.
2. Loss
The loss of ceramic tiles is related to its own quality, workmanship, and room type. Generally, the normal loss rate is 5-10%. The larger the size, the greater the loss.
ratio
1. Flatness
Use a 2M ruler and place it in a horizontal position, then insert a feeler gauge into the raised area, and take a reading from the feeler gauge. Generally speaking, it is normal if it does not exceed the acceptance standard of 2 mm.
2. Slope of flowing water
There will be water on the kitchen and bathroom floor, so there must be a certain slope when paving it. The tiles next to the floor drain need to be tightly adhered. During acceptance, a water pouring test can be done to see whether the water flow and drainage speed are smooth and unobstructed.
So after reading the above simple Tile Acceptance Standards process, do you think it is very simple? However, the editor feels that we still need to be more patient when inspecting ceramic tiles. No matter how many steps there are, we still have to check them one by one so that everything is foolproof. If it is just a simple inspection, there will be problems later. Many problems arise, so you still need to be careful. The above is what I have shared today., hope it can be helpful to you! ! !
