1, the name
Tile positioning cross, also known as plastic cross, foreigners called it tile spacer, plastic cross, translated is a tile spacer, tile locator or plastic cross.
2, materials
The more mature products on the market are made of PE material, the color is porcelain white, and its advantages are good toughness, good tensile strength, non-toxic, impact resistance, moisture resistance, chemical resistance, and not easy to burst.
3. Product use
Adjust the size of the gap in the middle of the tile, so that the tile is regular and beautiful, so that the gap between the tiles is uniform and uniform.
Tile laying, we must pay attention to the seams, and now there are some so-called seamless tiles, in fact, it is just a trick. The seams of the tiles are not only to deal with the problem of irregular specifications, but the most important thing is to reserve the position for thermal expansion and contraction. In the past, maybe everyone has heard of seamless steel pipes. Nowadays, some hype about seamless tiles, consumers need to pay attention. Aside from the decoration, we can see from the physical point of view that this is theoretically unspeakable: the expansion of the seamless steel pipe is 360 degrees outward, so there will be no cracks. Most of the tiles are constructed in a relatively closed space. Take the wall as an example. Generally, the left and right parts and the lower part must be closed by a fixed wall and the ground. If the tile is seamlessly treated during construction, it expands when it expands. What? Obviously, one of the prerequisites for seamless tiles is that the thermal expansion and contraction rate of the tiles is zero. We know that this possibility is zero. So what are the consequences of forcible seamless processing? Tiles are unlikely to be inflated and shrunk to push down the wall because the adhesion on the back side cannot be greater than the force pushing the wall. Then there is only one consequence: the tiles are arched.
4, specifications
The specifications are 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm, 2.5 m, 3.0 mm, 4.0 mm, 5.0 mm, 6.0 mm, 8.0 mm, and the like. The 1.5mm specification means that the width is 1.5mm.
Inch selection is sometimes based on personal hobbies and aesthetics.
5, the amount
Tile positioning cross usage: Under normal circumstances, a brick with a cross, 5mm cross can be used after the bricks are almost the same, can be used three times, which can save some costs; but 3mm and 2mm cross is not easy to take Underneath, otherwise it is easy to buckle off the bricks. Only when the bricks are completely dry can they be taken down, so it is generally difficult to reuse. If you don't want to take them, you can't see them after filling them. It is recommended to follow a piece of brick with a cross. Purchase in principle.
6, the purpose of the seam
First, in order to adjust the size error of the wall tiles, grasp the overall beauty;
Secondly, in order to reserve the expansion joints for the wall tiles, it is avoided that the wall tiles are hollowed out due to the extrusion of the upper wall tiles to the lower wall tiles.
7, the method of use
