Which direction does the tile arrow point?

Tiling arrows can be inward and outward, and arrows indicate that they are moving in one direction. Not all tiles have arrows on the back. The tiles with arrows are mainly square tiles with large specifications, such as 600×600, 800×800, etc. Many rectangular tiles and small-sized tiles have no arrows.

There may be arrows on the back of large-size tiles, which are derived from the production process of tiles and have nothing to do with the paving direction. The production of ceramic tiles is mainly based on the dry pressing method of automatic hydraulic press. The larger the specifications of the tiles, the greater the tonnage of the brick press, ranging from several thousand tons to tens of thousands of tons.

Extended data

Tiles should be laid according to the arrow on the back, which is directional. If it is not laid in one direction, there will be uneven places and wrong patterns. We should strictly follow the arrow, because the production of tiles is regular, so we should guide the master when laying bricks. Before laying bricks, wood grain bricks should be soaked in water 15 minutes.

There are many kinds of paving methods for wood grain bricks, besides horizontal and vertical paving methods, there are herringbone, I-shaped and fishbone paving methods. Therefore, before paving, we must determine the scheme with the designer/paving worker and implement the paving method. When paving, pay attention to the grain order of wood grain bricks and the arrow marked at the bottom of wood grain bricks. When using a wooden hammer, empty knocking should be avoided, and the force should be balanced to avoid too much or too little force. It is suggested to use a special plastic cross for paving bricks, which is beneficial to the positioning of wood grain bricks.
