In order to improve the aesthetics of the tiles and facilitate future cleaning and maintenance, many families will choose to have a beautiful seam treatment after the tile is paved. At present, the main sewing materials on the market are sewing agent and epoxy color sand. Understanding the different characteristics of these two materials will help you make a more suitable choice.

1. The construction method is different

When carrying out the beauty seam construction, the beauty sewing agent usually needs to be used with a glue gun and a seam ball, especially for antique bricks, masking paper may also be used to ensure accurate application results. In contrast, the construction process of epoxy colored sand is simpler, mainly using scrapers to apply, and using a sponge to remove excess colored sand, which is more direct and convenient to make as a whole.

2. The number of uses is different

The sewing agent is usually supplied in bottle form for easy use on demand, and the remaining material can be preserved for secondary use. In contrast, epoxy colored sand is generally sold in bags, and once opened, it must be used in one go, and the remaining parts cannot be recycled, which can lead to a certain amount of material waste.

3. The overall effect is different

The beauty sewing agent is characterized by its bright color and glossy appearance, and has a smooth surface to the touch. In contrast, epoxy colored sand has a matte effect, with a rough surface and a gritty-like texture when touched.

4. The life expectancy is different

The adhesive is usually applied with an applicator, mainly on the surface of the gap, so its adhesion is relatively weak and may fall off over time. Epoxy colored sand fills the gap deeply through the scraper, the effect is more saturated, usually can be maintained for 10 to 0 years, and the service life is longer than that of the sewing agent.

5. The price is different

The price of epoxy colored sand is usually higher than that of the sewing agent, but considering that the sewing agent may require additional repair and maintenance costs if it is not applied properly. Therefore, which material to choose should be decided according to the individual's budget and needs.

In general, epoxy colored sand performs better in terms of ease of construction, durability and aesthetics, but the price is also relatively high. If you're on a budget, sewing agents are a more cost-effective option, although they may be less durable and aesthetically pleasing.
