Analysis and suggestion of common problems in mosaic paving

With the rapid growth of the mosaic industry, a wide range of materials are now being used, and their applications are expanding across various environments. This has led to more complex construction requirements for mosaics. Jiuzheng Building Materials Network shares some common issues encountered during mosaic installation and offers practical solutions:

1. Filling mosaics with cement can be challenging. Cement is a thick paste, while mosaics are relatively thin. When applied to walls, cement tends to seep through the gaps between the tiles, making it difficult to properly caulk the mosaic later on.

2. The process of laying mosaics can be quite tedious. As small-sized materials, mosaics are delicate and hard to handle. Additionally, the separation of the bonding and caulking steps often leads to inefficiencies and extra work.

3. Using cement joints for glass, gold, or platinum mosaics over time may not look aesthetically pleasing. Here’s why:

  • Glass mosaics are acidic in nature. Prolonged contact with cement can cause chemical reactions that damage the surface finish of the mosaic.
  • Gold and platinum mosaics contain resin components that can react with cement. This not only affects the appearance but also reduces the lifespan of the mosaic.

Recommendations:

  1. Use a high-strength mosaic adhesive that is 2-3 times stronger than cement. Apply it in a thin layer, ensuring it doesn’t fill the gaps, so it won’t interfere with the caulking process.
  2. Opt for a joint adhesive that combines both bonding and caulking in one step, streamlining the installation and saving time.
  3. Always use professional-grade products for mosaic sealing. For glass mosaics, general Boma gel is suitable. However, for gold and platinum mosaics, it's best to use epoxy sealants or neutral pH products to protect their quality and appearance.
