Ceramic Tiles Raised

Due to expansion caused by the lifting of the ceramic tiles installed. This increased volume will drive regardless of the ceramic cement mortar. The amount of pressure causes the lifting of the events of this ceramic (popping) poses a loud noise like an explosion.

Actually, the raised ceramic can be prevented. Consider the following ways:

Expand Gap

Installation of floor tiles made from the center to the edge adjacent to the wall. Leave a gap between the floor and walls about 2 mm as a space for the expansion and shrinkage of ceramics. Expansion-shrinkage space is useful when the ceramic expands, because the magnification of the volume can still be accommodated by a distance so that the floor will not be lifted.

Rubber and foam

In the gaps between tiles and walls can also befitted with foam rubber pads or floor in order to look more presentable. Because of its nature, rubber or foam would have a magnification of the volume generated when the ceramic expands.

The quality of concrete mixture

Use good-quality concrete mixture. Mixture of cement and sand cause uneven adhesion of the ceramic slurry is reduced. Conversely, the poor quality of mortar, when there is little expansion; concrete mixture cannot resist lifting of ceramics. Special products for the ceramic slurry mixture may be selected for a more consistent and contains additives that improve adhesion.
