Viabilidade do uso de máquina vibratória para assentamento de revestimento cerâmico

Abstract

In the day-to-day of the works, inadequate practices are still present during the performance of the ceramic tile laying service. The machine for tiling ceramic tiles, like the one used in this research, comes as a proposal to improve the process of execution of this service, guaranteeing it higher quality. The general objective of this work is to verify the quality of the tiling ceramic tiles service using the laying machine. Eight pieces of 60x120 cm ceramic tile were installed in order to verify the differences in the quality of the placement of the pieces using the vibrating machine and the rubber hammer. The quality was checked following two requirements, densification mortar and the adhesion resistance of the pieces. The use of the vibratory machine for tiling ceramic tiles improves the quality of the service, as well as making its application viable when tiling tiles. The densification of the mortar was better in the pieces installed using the vibrating machine. The adherence in the pieces installed using the vibrating machine was, on average, twice that stipulated by the regulatory standard, using either one or two layers of mortar. There are no cases of disapproved values. The use of the vibrating machine proved to be high compared to the traditional laying method, which makes the possibility of laying pieces with surface area dimensions greater than 900 cm² legitimate, using only a single layer of mortar.
