*Water Absorption of Tiles
As far as the ceramic tile products we usually use, it is generally fired at a high temperature, and inevitably, fine cracks and pores are generated inside, so that it has a water absorption property.*Allow the tiles to "drink" the water before the paving, so as to avoid the moisture of the cement mortar when the paving is applied, and to prevent the dirt in the mud from being sucked in. After a period of time, the surface of the tile is prone to stains and odors; Avoid gaps between the tile and the cement joint. If the bond is not strong, it may cause problems such as empty drum, cracking and falling off.*some tiles do not need to absorb water
Of course, there are some tiles that do not need to absorb water before they are laid. According to the water absorption rate, the tiles can be roughly divided into porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles. Among them, the porcelain brick has a water absorption rate of less than 0.5%, and the material structure is dense, and the water can not be soaked before the paving; the water absorption rate of the ceramic brick is below 20%, and the water must be soaked before the paving.
To be precise, general tiles require water treatment. This is why "water absorption" can be an important indicator of the quality of ceramic tiles.How much water doesthe tilesneed to drink before laying?
In general, there is no specific standard for soaking time due to the different water absorption rates of different tiles. The higher the water absorption rate, the longer the tile is soaked. For example, an antique brick takes an hour, while an interior wall brick takes longer. The end result is that the tiles "satisfy" the water and no longer bubble.
the tiles must be fully immersed in the waterwhen they drink water
Since you want to "drink it", the tiles must be fully immersed in the water. Because the tile corners are brittle, when the tiles are placed in the basin, the glaze should face up and the pottery face down. If the glazed face is facing down, the tile corners rub against each other and it is easy to drop porcelain.
