Mosaic Arabesque Wall Tile Installation & Rust Spot Formation
Installation Process
During installation, dry hanging construction technology should be used whenever possible. If dry hanging is not feasible, water use should be minimized. Key considerations:
- Base Layer Water Content: Keep below 4% to prevent moisture issues.
- Base Preparation: Properly isolate water to reduce risks associated with moisture affecting the tile.
Post-Paving Care & Maintenance
1. Wet-Laid Mosaic Arabesque Wall Tiles
- Avoid polishing or crystalline finishing for 28 days after installation.
- Keep surfaces clean and dust-free.
- Allow natural evaporation of moisture by avoiding covering the tiles.
2. Seam Treatment & Defect Repair
- After curing, open seams and remove dust from both sides of the gap.
- Adjust glue mixture and seal seams properly.
- Repair surface defects to prevent water infiltration and long-term moisture issues.
What Are Rust Spots?
Rust spots form when iron-containing substances enter the marble mosaic or when internal iron compounds react with environmental chemicals, producing yellow or yellow-brown stains.
Chemical Explanation:
Rust requires three elements:
- Fe (Iron)
- O₂ (Oxygen)
-
H₂O (Water)
When iron reacts with oxygen and moisture, oxidation occurs, resulting in rust spots.
Causes of Rust Yellowing in Marble Mosaic
1. Primary Rust Spots
- Some marble mosaics naturally contain iron oxide, including Gold Wire Beige, Silver Wire Beige, Saanna Beige, and White Hemp.
- In humid environments, these iron compounds oxidize upon exposure to air, causing yellow stains.
- Water movement through micropores in the mosaic can create irregular discoloration (chloasma) on the surface.
