What role does glue play for mosaic?

Decorative mosaic can be used both for interior decoration of a building, and for decoration of an ex-terrier. In both cases, the same glue is used for the mosaic. In order that it does not lose its properties and securely fix the material on the wall, it is important to adhere to certain conditions. First of all it concerns temperature and humidity of air (the first indicator should not be below a mark +5 Celsius, thus it is desirable, that air was as much as possible dry). If the lining is carried out outdoors, then rain, snow, fog and high humidity are unacceptable factors. Therefore, you can mount the mosaic only on a warm and dry day.

To glue the mosaic as much as possible to the surface of any type, it must first be cleaned of dust and dirt, and then sanded. So you can immediately kill two birds with one stone: a little to level the wall and give it the necessary roughness, thanks to which the glue will fill all the areas of the surface. In some cases, the walls must also be putty (to make the mosaic look more attractive in the future). Also for this purpose it is possible to outline the necessary orienting lines, which will help lay out the glass mosaic as accurately and proportionally as possible.

Glue for glass mosaic is able to perform its functions for many years, but only on condition that its consistency fully meets all requirements. To begin with, you need to decide on the thickness of the building material. And then dilute the glue with a solvent. The thicker the tile, the less solvent it is necessary to add to the adhesive mixture. Accordingly, the glue for mosaic, which has a small thickness and weight, can be diluted with a large amount of solvent. In this issue it is desirable to consult a skilled builder beforehand.

Before you paste the mosaic on the wall, you must first fix it on the grid or on the film. Most often, this finishing material is sold already ready-made sheets, therefore, when mounting it to the wall, it is important to ensure that these sheets form the necessary pattern, without being confused with each other. As a result, decorative mosaic, wherever it is used, looks very beautiful and unusual. It should be noted that it can become a substitute for such material as bathroom tiles . Mosaic has excellent waterproofing characteristics that allow you to make a reliable and beautiful renovation in the bathroom. Provided that all technologies will be met, and the glue for the mosaic will be chosen high-quality!

If you use acid-containing cleaning liquids and powders, the mosaic may crumble or crack. Proper care for such a finishing material allows you to retain its technical and aesthetic characteristics for a long time. Glass mosaic - a truly universal finishing material, which will only be a source of positive emotions!
