Tao Jun has shared with you many times in articles about Tile grouting, so today I will tell you about the difference between tile grouting and grouting Bar! Although there is only one word difference, there is still a big difference in essence, so let’s follow Zhong Taojun to find out.
1. Regarding ceramic tile joints
1. What is ceramic tile jointing
Caulking is also called caulking agent. It uses white cement as the main material, and also adds a small amount of inorganic pigments, polymers and trace antibacterial agents. Caulking is basically used for ceramic tiles, marble, granite gaps between stones and other bricks. Grouting agents can be divided into two types: sand type and non-sand type, and their usage methods are also different. The former is mainly used on wide brick joints, while the latter is mainly used on narrow brick joints.
2. Advantages of seaming
It has anti-cracking and durable properties and can prevent the precipitation of free calcium in cement mortar.
3. Disadvantages of caulking agent
It is not resistant to water and dirt, and will easily turn black over time. If water seeps through the gaps in the bathroom, odors and bacteria will breed, which is also a relatively common problem.
2. Regarding the beautiful seams of ceramic tiles
The caulking agent used for caulking is a combination of high-tech new polymer materials and high-grade pigments. It is different from the white cement of the caulking agent and is a semi-liquid liquid. The caulking agent is richer in color than the caulking agent, can give the floor or wall a better visual effect, and has good decorative properties.
After the caulking agent solidifies, its surface will appear smooth and delicate, and can be scrubbed together with the ceramic tiles. Its advantage is that it is easy to clean, and the surface is waterproof and moisture-proof, which can avoid the growth of bacteria and will not cause blackening. , and can avoid sanitary blind spots.
3. The difference between ceramic tile joints and beautiful joints
1. The caulking agent requires the use of professional cleaners to clean, while the caulking agent does not have these problems. Its surface will form a glazed surface, which is easy to wipe. However, the price of caulking agent is higher than that of caulking.
2. The colors of seaming agents are diverse and there are many choices. At the same time, the caulking agent can strengthen the tightness between tiles and prevent them from falling off.
3. Unlike caulking agents, caulking agents use a large amount of glue during construction. If the safety index of the glue does not meet the standard, it will increase the indoor formaldehyde content, so caulking is safer. The material does not contain glue and is slightly safer.
4. If you have sufficient budget, you can choose beautiful seams. If you choose seams, but you are worried about blackening and yellowing, you can apply a layer of varnish on the surface of the caulking agent after it dries. Of course, you can also use beautiful seams and seams. Seam combination, such as beautiful seams in bathrooms and kitchens, and point seams in balconies and bedrooms.
The above content is the article that Zhongtaojun shared with you about The difference between ceramic tile grouting and caulking. It is actually very simple. The two are also easy to distinguish. The color of caulking agent It is diversified, so the color of the joints is relatively single, which is mainly white cement. From the pictures above, you should have a clear understanding. That’s it for today’s content sharing, Zhongtao Jun will leave first!
