Paving, Reinforcement, and Decorative Effects of Traditional Oriental Tile Mosaic

1. Bonding Method of Traditional Oriental Tile Mosaic

The bonding process for traditional oriental tile mosaic differs significantly from modern mosaic back-netting methods.

• In traditional installation, the mosaic sheet is adhered from the front side (smooth surface) rather than the back.
• The sheet material is thick kraft paper, and the adhesive used is a weak water-based glue.
• Each sheet typically measures 30cm × 30cm, ensuring uniform gaps regardless of particle size.
• Since the rough surface of the tiles remains exposed, this method promotes better adhesion between the particles and cement, resulting in a stronger bond.

2. Installation & Reinforcement of Traditional Mosaic

The installation and reinforcement of traditional oriental tile mosaic happen simultaneously in a structured process:

Base Layer Preparation

• Before installation, leveling the base mortar layer is crucial for an even surface.
• Corners and edges must be accurately leveled.

Applying Cement Slurry

• Once the leveling mortar has initially set, a layer of plain cement slurry is spread evenly.

Mosaic Tile Installation

• The mosaic tiles are then placed onto the cement slurry.
• A wooden crab (wood trowel) is used to firmly pat the tiles, ensuring proper embedding into the cement.

Gap Filling & Reinforcement

• Patting the tiles helps cement slurry fill the mosaic gaps, creating a solid, unified structure (see Figure 1).
• This ensures the tiles and cement cure together as a strong, integrated unit.

Kraft Paper Removal & Finishing

• After the cement fully cures, water is sprayed onto the kraft paper backing to soften and remove it.
• Any remaining gaps are checked and filled with cement grout as needed.
• Finally, the surface is rubbed with wood chips to remove any residual glue.

3. Advantages of Traditional Mosaic Installation

✅ Simultaneous installation and reinforcement
✅ Stronger adhesion & durability
✅ Uniform gaps and a well-bonded surface
✅ Simple yet effective technology

This traditional method of oriental tile mosaic paving ensures a long-lasting, visually appealing, and structurally sound installation, making it superior in terms of strength and aesthetics compared to modern back-netted mosaics.
