Information How to Choose the Ideal Ceramics To House

Information How to Choose the Ideal Ceramics To House



1. Determination Type Ceramics
To obtain satisfactory results and durable, then you consider the type of ceramic in accordance with the conditions and where the tiles will be installed.

1.1. Considerations on the load and friction received floor. Ceramics, which has a shiny surface more suited to interior homes, because this type of generally less than the friction-resistant ceramic with a rough surface. For public places which are often men, supermarkets, and other public facilities, the use of ceramics with a rough surface more advisable, because of friction is also more resistant ceramics of this type of surface is not slippery.

1.2. For this type of ceramics with the following conditions: that is attached to the walls, floors, bathrooms and special places like the swimming pool, a refrigerator room, laboratory, workshop or workplace. Type of ceramic surface should be fully adjusted to the condition of the installation.

2. The determination of color, motives, and Size
2.1. Everyone has different tastes in terms of colors, patterns and sizes, but in the selection of appropriate types of ceramics, you should also consider the color of the room, light intensity, the size of the room, and the function of the room itself.

2.2. To end the selection, the selection you should not only see the one-chip ceramics course, but with some of the ceramic pieces at once, so you can image how the predicted order of ceramics when inserted later. To obtain a complete sample display, you please visit our showroom.

2.3. The determination of color choices, patterns and can affect the size of ceramic impression space, so that seems able to make a space seem wider or more narrow. The selection of this type is also able to change the atmosphere of the room as match , elegance, cleanliness, fun, and so on. We recommend that you first ask this with your architect or visit our showroom to get the complete product consultation.

3. Installation of the determination of Materials
3.1. In doing the installation, you can stir the concrete consisting of a mixture of cement and sand, or adhesive (adhesive) other. The comparison of the recommended mix is 1 part cement with a 4 - to 6 parts sand floor, and 2 - 4 parts sand to the installation on the wall. The addition of gluten lateks will be able to increase the flexibility and sticking stir.

3.2. Nat to fill, you can use a mix / stir the concrete consists of cement and sand smooth with the comparison of 2 and 1 part cement sand, or you can also use the special materials nat (which is basically the cement, epoxy, Polyurethane, Silicon, etc. ).

3.3. For the flexible joint, must be selected from a water-resistant and can di-press/ditekan (compressible).

4. System Installation
Basically there are two system installation, the installation of the small nat (closed joint, less than 3 mm) and with the nat-wide (open joint, 5 to 10 mm). Before implementing the two systems is, you need to consider a few things, as follows:
* Installation of the nat-wide will provide a greater flexibility on the surface of the floor, especially when filled with material that fleksible.

* Installation of the nat can provide wide tolerance of the possibility of differences in the size of each ceramic.

* The process of nat will be easier and more evenly on the tiles that use the system-wide nat.

* Installation of ceramic with nat wide usage will save more flexible joint. The distance between the flexible joint is recommended as follows:

* For part in:
o Nat wide, flexible joint every 6 - 10 meters
o Nat small, flexible joint every 4 - 6 meters
* To the outside:
o Nat wide, flexible joint every 3 - 5 meters
o Nat small, flexible joint every 2 - 3 meters

We recommend you install a flexible joint on the floor around which the boundaries between walls and the floor itself. Flexible joint width is 6 to 10 mm, depending on the distance between each flexible joint joint.Flexible should be enough in the entrance to the layer tighten . If there is flexible joint in the floor, the flexible ceramic joint should always be above.

5. Installation of Ceramic Floor
5.1. The floor tiles will be installed must be clean from dust, dirt, oil or dirt that will be able to reduce the power stir sticky / adhesive on the floor.

5.2. Enter in the water ceramics in water for 2 - 4 hours, so that the craft can no longer absorb water from concrete stir as adhesive, and ceramic letakan stand on the position to reduce the excessive amount of water.

Water from the ceramic be merged stir power absorption can affect the quality of power from the stir sticky adhesive surface of the ceramic base.

5.3. Prepare materials to stir the mixture with a layer of fastening 1 part cement to 4 to 6 parts sand (or use a special adhesive material available). Do not mix with too much water. If you look up to stir the water, this indicates that the mixture of these ceramic adhesive contains too much water.

5.4. Justify stir ceramic adhesive material over the floor with thickness between 2 to 5 cm. To ground floor, the surface soil must dipadatkan first, and then be given a waterproof layer and layer of brace. For the wide floor or floors that will bear the burden, should be given the material layer brace. For the material with a special adhesive tiles, use a spatula to smooth jagged surface layer of adhesive adhisive, the thickness of adhesive layer adhesive is between 2 to 10 mm (depending on the type of material and adhesive surface kerataan level floor).

5.5. Generally, the use of adhesive glue to the needs of ceramics as an additional layer of work for the floor surface, with thickness between 2-3 cm.

5.6. Note: for best results, always note the use of adhesive glue you use. For example, there are some glue adhesive material that can not be mixed with water, then you do not soak tiles before installation.

5.7. If you use a ceramic adhesive material stir the cement-based, you should sow dry cement in the thin-thin top layer of ceramic adhesive before it. This is intended to increase the power of ceramics power absorption.

5.8. Before you make the tiles, you should consider, among other things, the level of the surface of ceramic kerataan, straight line nat, nat width, the accuracy of the flexible joint position with the width provided. Besides that, the position of the tiles that should be determined before the installation. Once installed in the floor tiles, ceramic should beaten-slow strike by using a hammer wood / rubber tiles that stick to the flat on the floor, also at the same time for more placard with both.

5.9. Fill nat with a special material or nat mengguakan stir in comparison with the 2 part 1 part cement and sand smooth. Add water secukupnya on this stir. Make the process of nat this a few days after the craft is, but need to be to keep the nat is still clean. Use of the nat (grout) who are flexible can help flexibility lantainya's surface.

5.10. Clean dirt leftover material from the surface of the ceramic nat. Layer fastener / stir ceramic adhesive must harden itself, because it does not dry heat.

5.11. Ceramic finishing process does not need (and so does not need to be polished.). Therefore, the process of ceramics should be done at the end of the entire process to prevent the construction to avoid possible damage.

5.12. for 3 - 4 days with the first lindungilah closed using ceramic board / carton. Let them dry out for itself. A new floor will be really strong after 1 month since the installation.

6. Ceramics Care
(not available)

7. Installation of Ceramic Wall
7.1. Check the surface of the straight wall and forge necessary repairs.


power absorption
7.2. Surface of the wall tiles will be installed should be free from dust and dirt, which can affect the strength of power stir sticky adhesive.
7.3. Rendam ceramics in water for 2 - 4 hours, so that the ceramic does not absorb more water from the layer stir perekatnya. Then dry with ceramic tiles put up with a position to reduce the excessive amount of water. Absorption of water by ceramic materials stir perekatnya will affect the strength of power in the sticky surface of the ceramic base.

7.4. to create a stir adhesive material, Mix 1 part cement to 4 to 6 parts sand (or you can use adhesive materials ready). Do not mix too much water. If you look up to the stir over the water, this shows that stir the mixture contain gluten is too much water.

7.5. inputs in the water wall, and then stir Justify adhesive ceramic material with thickness between 0.5 to 1 cm. Wait until this layer dry up during the night. This layer of material will become more the next day. Basahi ceramics that you attach the back and lapisi ceramics stir with adhesive, the next one at a ceramic paste on the wall starting from the bottom of the wall. If you use adhesive glue ready, you can paste ceramics or the use of appropriate instructions from the adhesive glue.

Note: If you use a special adhesive material that can not be mixed with water, then you do not wet the wall / floor first, and not the first craft that you want to attach. Please read carefully your use of the adhesive glue that you use first.

7.6. When you do the tiles, you should consider the level field equation ceramic surface, the position of ceramics, nat width, position and width of flexible joint flexible joint. Pukul and press gently with a hammer or rubber wood so that the ceramic paste stir with adhesive material underneath. The order must be straight and ceramics stir adhesive materials do not go in until nat.

7.7. Fill nat special material with the nat or stir mixture with a comparison of 2 parts cement and 1 part fine sand and water secukupnya. To get the best results, do the nat this a few days after the craft but do not have to be guarded until the field is filled by nat dirt. Use of the nat (grout), which will be more flexible to increase the flexibility of the wall surface.

7.8. Clean the remains of the dirt field nat material from the surface of ceramic wall. Keep the surface of the ceramics that have been attached to avoid direct summer sun and rain (for the outside of the home). Layer ceramic adhesive mortar should be set for itself, and not dry up because rays / summer.

7.9. Ceramic finishing process does not need (and so does not need to be polished.). Therefore, the process of ceramics should be done at the end of the entire process to prevent the construction to avoid possible damage.

8. The cause of Ceramics Release
Ceramics are usually detached from the foundation by some as the cause of the following:
8.1. Ceramics memuai / menggelombang can be caused by too much to absorb water.
Limit expansion ceramics was set by the EN (European standards) of 0:06% and ceramics in general expansion in the range of 0:01 to 0:05%.
Ceramics can be released because the absorption of water usually occur several days after installation, because the ceramic material to absorb water from the stir
power absorption .

8.2. Ceramics memuai because heat
Ceramics can memuai because of heat, and limits the expansion ceramics required by EN is 0.0009% per C (lower than the concrete), but the problem is ceramics directly receive heat from the first layer of concrete (stir adhesive ceramic material below), and this is especially influential on the outside of the (exterior) building.

8.3. Depreciation Concrete
As we know in this process happens, the concrete shrinkage. The fact that depreciation is the largest concrete will happen in about 3 months since first established, but this process can continue to progress in the time period that is longer.

8.4. Changes in the form of a floor
Changes in the form of a floor is considered normal as far not pass limit. Deformation (deformation) occurred because of the burden from both the floor itself and the burden of pressure which received the floor, the floor of a shifting foundation, the influence of earthquake, wind and encouragement (for the high buildings). Deformation floor can put pressure on the surface of the floor because the nature of the basic nature of ceramic tiles generally rigid (not compressible), then if the bond between the ceramic layers underneath less strong, the craft will be picked up and drop.

8.5. The quality of the installation
Stir with the process of sizing the ugly, is not spread evenly with, will reduce the power of the sticky adhesive and concrete materials may cause the craft apart.

8.6. Ceramics, which is installed with the narrow nat (closed joint) will be more easily separated than ceramic installed with nat wide (open joint).
For floor area, in the recommended installation using additional limits on the flexible joint between floor and wall debngan every 2 - 3 meters (outside), or 4 - 6 meters (in part), with a width of 6 - 10 mm.

9. In treating plant room
To keep the plants in the room always looks lush and beautiful, must be treated well and painstaking. You can follow some tips below:
9.1. Choose plants suitable for space in the.

9.2. Avoid direct sun sengantan on the plant because the plant can cause leaf wilt. To place the plant in a cool and shady.

9.3. Siram plant in accordance with porsinya, not too many disiram but should also not too much.

9.4. Plants that are in the room air-conditioned, every sunday must be removed to get sun exposure and free air, the more fresh.
9.5. Give a fertilizer compound that contains the elements of a complete burly.
