Vous avez choisi votre sol en carreaux hydrauliquesYou have already chosen from thousands of designs and materials. You put it on according to the instructions, but there comes a time of the year when the hydraulic soldering becomes weak, causing aesthetic problems, even to the point of breaking the materials. Voici les 2 raisons pourquelles cela se produit, juste pour vous donner une idée.
The hydraulic cement carriage is getting lighter, but this is not a mystery.
When hydraulic sun wheels become damaged, it is not because they are of poor quality or because the carriage collector has not done its job. Quite simply, it is because there are 2 major factors to take into account. Voici les 2 raisons :
-
Humidity
The great enemy of old and modern hydraulic trucks is humidity, both indoors and outdoors. Most of these small accidents occur in the summer in hot weather or in winter when temperatures are very low, where changes in temperature affect the design and cause the materials to swell or to stretch. You should take this into account when working in extremely cold or extremely hot environments.
Why is dampness the problem? This problem has the power to penetrate everywhere. In the case of hydraulic pipes, if they are not screened and waterproofed, they will clog up the bore, so in one way or another, all the steam must escape. In other words, your sun will breathe.

Un mauvais travail sur le contre-sol
Number 2 goes hand in hand with number 1. L'humidité entre et sort pour une simple raison : le contre-sol, présent dans tous les travaux de ce type, est de mauvaise qualité, simplement pas assez épais pour le climat de l'endroit.
The hydraulic sun is getting worse, but there is a solution. Surtout, entre entre les mains de professionnels.
Advice for the installation of hydraulic mosaics
Once the surface has been levelled and filled where the carcasses or hydraulic mosaics must be laid, the pieces must be arranged for presentation in order to guarantee the result before laying. If you choose a traditional carpet format, start with the centre of the design, then lay the border pieces and finally lay the outer pieces and cover them as required with the help of a wet disc or a damp cloth.
Preparation of carcasses
A good preparation of the hydraulic reel is essential to ensure its final maintenance and a high quality result once the installation is completed. First of all, once all the coating has been installed, it is advisable to wash each of the carriages with neutral liquid soap mixed with water. It is important not to use abrasive liquids such as Javel or ammonia water, or anything that may deteriorate the appearance of the hydraulic carriage.
Once the liquid soap and water solution has been applied, it is very important to wait until the sun is completely dry to prevent the appearance of spots. After this step has been carried out, it is necessary to apply a pore sealing product that will prevent the appearance of spots due to future accidental spills; here, we recommend that you use our Torra sealer sealer sealer.
The work carried out during the setting up of the hydraulic reels may cause the water to evaporate, leading to the appearance of white calcification deposits. However, they can be easily removed by cleaning with neutral soap; you can also use our Torra sun cleaner for more effective cleaning.
Following these simple steps, we will prepare the coating and protect it against moisture, scratches and daily wear. Afterwards, it will be enough to carry out a very simple periodic maintenance, which will preserve all the properties of the hydraulic carrelage by using our daily Torra maintenance product, which will clean your hydraulic sol and preserve its shine.
Installation :
With the help of a sponge, completely smooth the surface to facilitate the adhesion of the mosaic and the tile adhesive.
Apply the adhesive evenly on the surface of the floor, then apply the adhesive on the floor, what we call a double gluing, make sure to spread the adhesive in the same direction on both surfaces, otherwise the glued air bubbles may cause the mosaic or the hydraulic carriage to collapse.
It is recommended not to use a black rubber mat because it could scratch the pieces; instead, you should press with the hand pause to position and level them correctly. Pay attention to the levelling of the mosaic tiles, because, contrary to the marble and granite, the mosaic tiles can not be levelled with a trowel because this would damage the hydraulic sol in a totally irreversible way.
Avoid leaving adhesive residues on the parts because once dry, this complicates their cleaning. Once the installation has been completed and if the hydraulic floor is very salty due to debris, we recommend that you clean it with our Torra floor cleaner. Please read our instruction manual carefully for a correct application.
As you can see, the installation of mosaic tiles and water channels seems simple, but it has its problems and risks, so it is recommended to call in specialised and qualified personnel to obtain a good job and to save time and money.
Hydraulic carriage protection
Lors
When installing hydraulic carts, it is essential to pay attention to every detail to ensure a flawless result. Perfect alignment and levelling of each carriage are essential to obtain a visually attractive and durable finish. However, a meticulous installation is not enough; further care is just as important.
The sealant plays a vital role in the maintenance and protection of hydraulic wheels. In addition to improving their appearance, it acts as a barrier against the absorption of tenacious bumps, reducing their porosity and extending their life span. It is essential to use our Torra sealant to preserve the beauty and integrity of the carcasses without altering their original appearance.
When applying the sealant, it is essential to ensure that the surface is completely clean and dry. The use of a 20 cm rotor or a 20 cm blade, which is the length of most of the hydraulic wheels used, facilitates the task and makes it easier to reach difficult corners. Accuracy in the application of the sealant is essential; too much product could leave indestructible bumps. Therefore, carefully following the instructions that Mosaics Torra has for each of its products will guarantee optimum protection without compromising the aesthetics of the hydraulic carriages.
It should be noted that it is advisable to test the sealant on a small carriage before applying it. From then on, we will be able to proceed with the selection procedure in complete safety.
Maintenant que j'ai installé le sol ou que je pense acheter des carreaux hydrauliques, mais... Quel entretien dois-je effectuer ? Both internally and externally, hydraulic tyres require regular maintenance. This maintenance preserves the sun and strengthens the protective coating of the waterproofing treatment.
For the daily cleaning, neutral soaps can be used (no acids), and once a week, the sun can be washed by diluting a glass of Torra wax tile in a glass of water. In this way, we clean the hydraulic carrelage and the normal salting all while refreshing and restoring the treatment of the sun.

Treating the sun means saturating the porosity of the parts to protect them against all types of domestic stains while maintaining the natural tint or intensifying it with a mouled effect that enhances the colours of the parts. Therefore, absolutely necessary and recommended to 100%.
