Advantage or Disadvantage of Paper Joint of Tiles.

Advantage of Paper joint-

  • Sourcing of tile masons for paper joint is easy, because most of the tile masons have experience in this system from many decades.
  • Additional tools like tile spacers are not required
  • Tile grouting activity is simple and consumption of tile grout is less; hence this system is economically better than spacer joints.

Disadvantage of Paper joint-

  • Since the minor dimensional variation is possible in tiles, paper joints often leads to unequal gaps between the tiles. These gaps are not suitable for proper grouting. So this leads to dust collection.
  • Replacing the damaged tile is difficult, due to nearest tiles also can get damaged during the rectification works.
  • It is very difficult to maintain line & level in the tile joints due to manufacturing variations.
