Have you left any seams on your tiles?

Some people say that the overall effect of the model rooms I see in tile shops or ceramic tile exhibitions is very beautiful. Why is the overall effect not so good after leaving seams in my own home? Do ceramic tiles have to be sewn?

Why do tile seams remain?

The consequence of no seam in tiles

The result of not leaving seams is that tiles appear bulging, edge collapse and even brick collapse in the process of later use. If used in the bathroom, it may cause water leakage and other regeneration troubles! Some people say that I buy high-grade bricks with low water absorption. Should there not be such a situation? Here, we also point out that although the risk of water absorption and expansion of ceramic tiles is low, the phenomenon of stress edge collapse caused by thermal expansion and cold contraction is very common. Especially glazed tiles and microcrystalline stones, because of the difference between the surface glaze material and embryo body material, the risk of edge collapse is relatively high if the close technology is applied.

Reasons for Tile Leaving Seam

1) Ceramic tiles have the problem of thermal expansion and contraction: both ceramic tiles and cement mortar pasted with ceramic tiles will have the problem of thermal expansion and contraction. In the process of temperature or moderate change, ceramic tiles and cement mortar will have certain contraction. If there is no seam left, it will lead to bulging or cracking of ceramic tiles in the process of later use.

2) Ceramic tile has errors: although tiles are now mechanized production, in the process of product production, there will be a certain size error (too big error belongs to product quality problems). If there is no seam left, it is easy to appear uneven seam when tile is laid, which affects the beauty of ceramic tile.

3) There are errors in the construction of workers: the laying of tiles belongs to a construction project with high proficiency. During the whole process of laying tiles, it is impossible for workers to complete the laying of tiles without errors. The workers are in a bad mood, during the day and at night, and so on. There will be differences. If there are no seams left, it is also very difficult to ensure the flatness of the joints of ceramic tiles, which will affect the laying of ceramic tiles.

Benefits of Stitching Ceramic Tiles

1) It can prevent the hollowing, deformation, edge collapse and cracking of ceramic tiles. Protect tile.

2) Each tile is not necessarily completely parallel, leaving seams for the adjustable space of the tiler.

3) It can make the overall effect of ceramic tile more beautiful.
