❌ Still Struggling with Tile Falling or Hollowing? This Complete Tile Adhesive Construction Guide Solves It Once and for All!

Tile installation seems simple, but it’s a craft where details make the difference . Most issues like tile falling, hollowing, or poor bonding are not caused by the adhesive itself — but by improper construction steps . For strong, level, and durable results, you must master these three essentials: 👉 Proper surface preparation, accurate mixing, and professional thin-bed application. 1. Surface Preparation — The Foundation of Success ✅ Materials and Tools Tile Adhesive Selection (Based on Beijing Standard DB11/T 344-2024): Application Area Recommended Type Interior Wall (Ceramic Tile)     C1 Type Vibration Areas (Elevator Shaft, etc.)     C2TS1 Type Underfloor Heating, Balcony, Outdoor     C2TES1 Type (Enhanced) Low-Absorption Tiles (<0.5%) like Porcelain or Sintered Slabs     C2 Enhanced Type                 Main Tools: Electric mixer, mixing bucket, notched trowel (8–10mm ...

🏗️ How to Achieve Perfect Flatness: Three Key Leveling Methods Explained

  In construction and interior finishing, flatness is not just about aesthetics — it’s the foundation for smooth installation of floors, tiles, coatings, and custom furniture. A perfectly leveled surface ensures durability, visual harmony, and professional results. Method 1: Cement-Sand Screed Leveling — The Cost-Effective Classic Principle: A traditional method that mixes cement, sand, and water to create a leveling layer by manual spreading and troweling. Flatness: Tolerance ≤4mm per 2 meters, or ≤3mm with skilled application. Advantages: ✅ Low cost, high strength, widely applicable. Disadvantages: ❌ Thick layer (25–35mm), time-consuming, relies on manual skill. Ideal For: Tile flooring areas and general base leveling. Method 2: Self-Leveling Cement — Achieve “Mirror-Like” Precision Principle: A high-tech mixture of modified cement and polymers that flows and levels itself naturally. Flatness: ≤2mm deviation per 2 meters — extremely high precision. Advantages: ...

90% of the reasons for tile falling off are actually not related to the tiles...

 When tiles fall off, most people blame the tile adhesive or even the tiles themselves. But construction experience shows: 90% of tile failures are caused by the mortar substrate! Think of tiling as building a house: Tiles = exterior walls and decoration Tile adhesive / cement mortar = steel reinforcement (connection) Mortar substrate = the foundation If the foundation is weak, no matter how good the tiles or adhesive are, the wall won’t hold. Tiles and adhesive are just the “external factors,” while the substrate is the decisive “internal factor.” Common Substrate Problems Weak strength, sanding, or powdering → Adhesive sticks to loose sand, leading to complete tile detachment. Hollowing or cracking → The true culprit behind tile hollowing and falling. Poor flatness or alignment → Excess mortar for leveling shrinks unevenly, causing hollow spots. Dirty substrate → Dust, oil, or release agents create a barrier layer, reducing bond strength. Imprope...

Uneven Floors, Cracks, Hollowing? Solve All Self-Leveling Issues in One Guide

  1. Overview Cement-based self-leveling is a dry-mix material made of special cement, fine aggregates, and polymer additives. When mixed with water, it produces a highly fluid slurry that levels itself by gravity, forming a smooth, strong, and even surface. It can serve as a substrate for wood flooring, tiles, carpets, or be used directly as a wear-resistant surface. 2. Key Features & Benefits High Fluidity : Self-leveling without heavy manual troweling. Fast Setting : Walkable in 4–6 hours, reducing project time. Excellent Flatness : ≤2mm deviation within 2m straightedge. High Strength : Superior compressive and flexural strength compared to traditional mortar. Thickness Range : Typically 2–10mm, adjustable by application. Seamless Finish : No joints, neat appearance, easy to clean. 3. Substrate Preparation Substrate preparation is the key to final performance. Requirements : Strength ≥20MPa, free of hollowing, dusting, or peeling. Moisture ≤6%;...

Anti-Crack Mortar vs Cement Mortar: Strength Comparison & Selection Guide

 In construction, mortar is one of the most commonly used materials. A frequent question is: What’s the difference between anti-crack mortar and cement mortar? Which one is stronger, and how do you choose for different applications? Let’s break it down from strength, performance, and application perspectives. 1. Strength Comparison (1) Compressive Strength Cement Mortar : Excellent compressive strength, usually 30–50 MPa , making it suitable for load-bearing and wear-resistant structural parts such as foundations, beams, and masonry. Anti-Crack Mortar : Lower compressive strength, typically 10–20 MPa . It is designed not for load-bearing but mainly for crack prevention on surfaces. (2) Crack Resistance & Flexibility Anti-Crack Mortar : Enhanced with polymers and fibers, it has higher tensile strength and flexibility, effectively resisting shrinkage and temperature-related cracking. Cement Mortar : Strong but brittle, prone to cracking due to shrinkage or tempe...

Anti-Crack Mortar vs. Cement Mortar: Strength Comparison and Selection Guide

 In construction, the choice of mortar directly affects both structural durability and surface stability. Two of the most common options— anti-crack mortar and cement mortar —serve different purposes. A frequent question from contractors is: Which one is stronger, and how should I choose between them? 1. Strength Characteristics Compressive Strength Cement mortar : With high-grade mixes, compressive strength can reach 30–50 MPa . It performs exceptionally well in load-bearing and wear-resistant applications, such as foundations, beams, columns, and masonry. Anti-crack mortar : Typically offers a lower compressive strength of 10–20 MPa , making it more suitable for non-structural surfaces where protection and crack resistance are the priority. Crack Resistance & Flexibility Anti-crack mortar : Modified with polymers and fibers, it provides excellent tensile strength and flexibility, effectively preventing cracks caused by shrinkage and temperature changes. Ceme...

Cracks and Hollow Walls Keep Coming Back? Full Guide to Gypsum Plaster Quality Control

 Gypsum plaster is a key step in interior finishing. Problems such as cracks, hollow spots, and peeling usually result from poor quality control during construction. To prevent these issues, strict control is needed throughout the entire process — from substrate preparation to final acceptance. 1. Substrate Preparation Inspection & Cleaning : Ensure structural work is complete, remove dust, nails, and debris, and fill wall tie holes and conduits. Bonding Agent : Spray evenly (≤30cm distance) in a cross pattern, covering all corners and edges. Anti-crack Mesh : Apply alkali-resistant fiberglass mesh (≥25cm wide) at material junctions and pipe grooves. 2. Control with Reference Points Baseline Positioning : Use laser or infrared lines to control verticality and flatness. Plaster Dabs : Place dabs at corners and door/window openings, aligned vertically. Guide Strips : Set gypsum guide strips every 1.5–3m as leveling benchmarks. 3. Plaster Application M...
