I. Basic attributes and function names of tile locators:

Tile locator, also known as Tile Cross, tile clip, plastic tile locator card, plastic cross spacer, etc. Guests call it Tile Spacers,Plastic Cross. Material: The tile locator is made of green and environmentally friendly HDPE new material with white and transparent color and exquisite appearance. Its advantages are good toughness, good tensile force, impact resistance, sweat resistance, chemical resistance, and not easy to seam slippage. Function: the tile locator is used to adjust the gap size in the middle of the tile, make the tile sticker regular and beautiful, make the gap between the tiles consistent and uniform, and simplify the construction process, it greatly improves the efficiency of paving tiles by construction personnel and saves a lot of construction costs.

II. Specifications of tile locator and the purpose of seam retention:

the regular size of tile locator is 1.0mm,1.5mm,2.0mm,2.5m,3.0mm,4.0mm,5.0mm,6.0mm,8.0mm,10.0mm, etc. 1.0mm specification refers to the width of 1.0mm, that is, the size of the gap you want to leave. Tile seam, wall surface is better with 1-2mm, some small brick (100 x100mm), in order to be beautiful, the seam needs to be large instead. In addition to vintage brick, a large gap (5mm-10mm) needs to be left on the ground. Other bricks are generally 1-5mm. The following data is for reference only, and the specific size selection is sometimes based on personal preferences and aesthetics. 1.0,1.5mm for seamless tiles, polishing brick and marble tiles 2.0mm for wall tiles 2.5mm,3.0mm for small size tiles 4.0mm,5.0mm for medium size tiles 6.0mm,8.0mm,10.0mm why do I use a tile locator for outdoor tiles: tiles must be sewn when laying, no matter whether the tile belongs to "seamless brick" or "round brick" is laid, it needs to be fixed!

The main reasons are as follows:

1) there is thermal expansion and contraction problem in ceramic tiles and cement mortar pasted with ceramic tiles will have thermal expansion and contraction problem. In the process of temperature or moderate change, tile and cement mortar will have certain expansion and contraction. If no seam is left, the tile will drum or crack in the later use process.

2) there are errors in tiles although tiles are now produced mechanically, there will be certain size errors in the process of product production (if the error is too large, it is a quality problem of the product), if there is no seam left, the seam will be uneven when the tile is laid, which will affect the appearance of the tile.

3) there are errors in the construction of construction workers. Tile paving is a construction project with very high proficiency. During the whole paving process, it is impossible to make sure that there is no error when laying each brick. Workers are in a bad mood, day and night, and other tiles laid in different situations will have different effects. If no seam is left, it is also difficult to make the joints of tiles straight, which affects the beauty of tile paving.

III. Usage and usage of tile locator usage of tile locator:

under normal circumstances, a piece of brick is equipped with a tile locator. If the 5mm tile locator is almost dry, it can be taken down and used again. Generally, it can be used three times, which can save some expenses; but 3mm and 2mm tile locator is not easy to take off, otherwise it is easy to deduct the brick, and it can only be taken off after the brick is completely dry, so it is generally difficult to reuse, if you don't want to take it down, you can't see it after filling in the seam. We recommend that you purchase it according to the principle of a brick with a tile locator.

There are two ways to use tile locator:

1), flat: that is, it is used in parallel with the tile

2) vertical placement: that is, vertical use with tiles
