Are you willing to add wooden floors to balcony?  For many people adding wood floors on the balcony will only be nightmares, because tiles will be broken and cracked. That is why it is so vital to treat the surface correctly. In particular, this implies that tiles require a stable and hence unsuitable foundation material since the movement cannot be compensated for by hard ceramics. But occasionally tile specialists have no option but to engage in the installation of tiles over existing wood floors or particle boards. Next, we are going to show you how to avoid wood tiles from cracking.

 

Most wood tiles are not suitable as a foundation for outdoors, since it "works" because of natural temperature and humidity variations. Wood often reacts to treading impacts, which in turn changes tiles. Only the right technology can prevent expensive ceramic tile damage successfully.

 

How Can We Avoid Wood Tiles From Cracking?
Preparation is important everywhere to prevent errors in the handling of tiles. The heterogeneity may, for example, be successfully maintained by the removal of tension-free lying. The floor may be polished or processed by a self-aligning agent. Also, so-called decoupling pads may be better fastened to wood surfaces that are thoroughly polished. This indicates that when tiles are put on board, all keywords are labeled "decoupled." In other words, tiles and the subsurface cannot be linked to one another permanently. Only then can the wood's movement be balanced or absorbed and negative tension be eliminated. The related disconnection pads have diverse shapes ranging in thickness from 2 to 12 mm. There are two basic techniques for inserting adequate decoupling pads according to requirements: it may be freely positioned or bonded to hardwood substrates. In combination with flexible adhesive and a matching flexible joint sealant, it is possible to further decrease stress and vibration of movements and limit the danger of tile failure.

 

Other techniques to prevent cracking of wood tiles
Sound isolation with retracted, robust footstep may make marvels. Assure an isolation thickness of at least 22 mm and utilize elastic adhesive to offset subterranean movement. In order to guarantee the requisite flexibility, mineral binders with suitable plastic covering are especially suggested. Asbestos screen flooring, for example, may be employed as a sound-insulation impact.

 

How to put tiles on wood floors
If you need to take into account not only the brand quality of tiles but also of the following more criteria, the outcomes of installation may be optimized:
The plate has to be stiff. They must be damage-free (as far as feasible) and rest or tighten firmly and safely. For offsetting tension, expansion joints are also employed. In terms of thickness and breadth of joint, it has been shown that the board is 2 cm thick and not more than 70 cm thick. The safe and secure installation circumstances are all filled with tiles and the old paint and plates are thoroughly ground with acrylic sealing cement. This is the only technique to further treat the totally purified wood.
