Is it possible to save space with tile adhesive than with cement mortar?

Answering a question from an owner today, the owner asked, is it possible to save space by thinly laying tiles with tile glue rather than cement mortar?

If you put it three years ago, this question is really difficult to answer. Literally, the thickness of thin paste should be smaller than that of cement mortar.

Today, three years later, we have a lot of construction experience and have the right to speak on this issue.

The final conclusion is that thin wall stickers do not necessarily save thickness.

Everyone should change this concept. The purpose of thin wall tiles is not to save thickness, but to improve the adhesion of tiles, especially now that large boards are popular, simply using cement mortar or matching with back glue will not work Yes, the risk of falling bricks in the later stage is very large.

The thin paste is to scrape the tile glue on the back of the tile, and the thickness is generally 3-5 mm. If it is paved with cement mortar, the thickness will reach about two centimeters.

In terms of thickness alone, thin stickers will feel thin, but thin stickers have high requirements for the flatness of the wall.

The flatness of most of the rough houses cannot meet the conditions of direct and thin sticking. It is necessary to use cement mortar to level the walls in advance, and the thickness of the leveling also takes up space. The thickness of the leveling, plus the thickness of the tile adhesive, is the thickness of the final sand layer.

Compared with the traditional method, the final thickness may be less or more.

Therefore, it is not entirely correct to say that thin stickers are used to save space.

The same idea of ​​making thin stickers on the ground to increase the height of the room is also wrong.

However, thin stickers need to be leveled first and then tiled.

If you want to increase the space through thin stickers, you have to pray that the developer will make the wall and the ground absolutely flat, and directly use the tile glue to lay and stick, so as to save the leveling process.
