How to know the quality of tiles, how to see the quality of tiles

The selection method of ceramic tiles should be purchased when home decoration, how to buy value-for-money, satisfactory tiles also have a certain knowledge, in general, the principle of buying tiles is: a look, two listens, three drops of water, four feet. First, look at the appearance.

The color of the tile should be uniform, the surface finish and flatness should be good, the surrounding rules should be regular, the pattern is complete, and four or five pieces should be extracted from a box to see if there are defects such as color difference, deformation, lack of edges and corners. 2. Listen to the sound. Tap with a hard object, the crisper the sound, the higher the degree of porcelainization, and the better the quality.

You can also use the thumb, index finger and middle finger of the left hand to clip the corner of the tile, hang down easily, and tap the middle and lower part of the tile with the index finger of the right hand. 3. Drip test. You can drop water on the back of the tile to see how fast the water soaks after it spreads, generally speaking, the slower the water absorption, the greater the density of the tile; On the contrary, the faster the water absorption, the sparse density, and its intrinsic quality is superior.

Fourth, the measurement. The higher the accuracy of the side length of the tile, the better the effect after paving, and buying high-quality tiles is not only easy to construct, but also can save man-hours and accessories. Use a tape measure to measure whether there is a difference in the size of each tile, and the high accuracy is the top grade.

In addition, observe its hardness, ceramic tiles with good hardness, strong toughness, not easy to break and rot as the top quality. The edges and corners of the tile fragments are scratched on each other, and the broken fragments are inspected to see whether the broken parts are fine or loose, whether they are hard, brittle or soft, whether they leave scratches, or scattered powder. Whether the size is standard is the key to judging the quality of the tile, measure the diagonal and quadrilateral size and thickness of the tile with a tape measure or caliper, whether the thickness is uniform, good tile, the sound is brittle, indicating that the porcelain content is high.

If the sound is "clicking" with the sound of stubble, it means that there are cracks hidden in the brick. Good tiles, the master installation is also convenient for construction, and the effect of installation is also standardized.

The gloss of the surface of the tile.

Look at the appearance. The color is uniform, the surface is smooth, the flatness is good, the surrounding rules are regular, the pattern is complete, and four or five tiles are extracted from a box to see if there are defects such as deformation, color difference, lack of edges and corners. The color and pattern of the tile are relatively rich, the best tile, its color is uniform, the surface is more shiny, and the poor quality tile, its surface is dull.

Water absorption test. The water absorption rate reflects the density of the tile, and indirectly reflects the hardness of the tile, but it should be noted that the lower the water absorption rate, the better. The water absorption test here is a test for the living room, bedroom, corridor and other sections of the tile, pour water on both sides of the tile, carefully observe the penetration of water, if it is a polished tile, the water is immediately sucked in, that is to encounter inferior polished tiles.

Scratch the tile surface with a hard object.

Scratch the surface of the tile with a hard object to see if it is easy to leave scratches. Generally, glazed tiles will leave a slight scratch, vitrified tiles are relatively hard, and generally *** vitrified tiles will not leave any traces at all. However, the owner of the general tile shop will not agree to do this kind of test.

But you can put the tile in your hand to weigh, the same specification of the tile, the heavier the more it means that its density is high, the hardness is high.

Listen to the sound. Listening to the sound made by the tiles, we tap it with a hard object, the more brittle the sound, the higher the degree of porcelainization, and the better the quality. If the sound is dull, the quality is not high, and the sound is clear and crisp.

Flatness. Looking at the tile from the side, if it is straight and has a high degree of flatness, the effect of paving will be better. The most stringent method of inspection is to remove any four tiles from the inside of the box, preventing them from flat ground.

See if the four bricks are flat and consistent, and if they are embedded diagonally. This is very important, the difference between domestic bricks and imported bricks lies in the consistency of specifications.

1.Look at the color of the bricks, open a few boxes for comparison, if the color difference is very large, it means that the brick kiln environment is unstable.

2.The two bricks are laminated, and the flatness is observed. If there are gaps in the four corners of the brick, it means that the brick is warped, and after it is paved, it is easy to be uneven. If there is a gap in the middle part of the brick, say this brick arch.

3.Look at the brick color. Now there are a lot of all-over marble tiles.

In fact, the cloth body is used, this kind of brick, depending on the texture of the brick. If it is Carrara white, there is no need to use a full-body blank, it is better to use an ultra-white blank. If it is a solid color body, relatively speaking, the whiter the color, the better the brick raw material.

4.Look at the thickness of the bricks. In the industry, generally speaking, the thickness of 600 bricks is about 10mm, the thickness of 600 bricks is about 10mm, the thickness of 600 1200 bricks is about 11mm, and the thickness of 900 900 bricks is also about 11mm.

5.If it is an antique brick, you can also look at the reflectivity of the glaze. A good glaze will have a reflectivity of about 10 degrees, but it will not be too bright.

If the reflection is too bright, it means that the glaze is of average quality. You can also touch the surface. A good glaze will be more delicate, and a bad glaze will feel slippery.

To judge the quality of the tile, first of all, we should look at the pattern and smoothness and brightness of its appearance, and secondly, we should judge its hardness.

1. Take a few bricks in the box, check whether the surface of the bricks is bright and deformed, and no defects such as missing corners, missing edges, lack of glaze, holes, and spots are allowed.

2. Take more than four pieces of ceramic bricks and put them on the plane to see whether the color of the bricks is consistent and whether the pattern is complete; Look a little further afield to see if the overall effect is ideal.

3. Take more than two pieces of ceramic bricks and put them on the glass plane to see whether the brick surface is flat; Press the opposite corners of the bricks by hand to see if there are warped edges; Look at the gaps, the smaller the better.

4. Take two bricks and touch each other, and listen to whether the sound is crisp and loud. If there is an abnormality, it means that there are cracks in the brick or there is air residue in the tile during the sintering process.

5. Buy the required tiles at one time to avoid color difference.

Because the home needs to be renovated, it is all done by yourself. So after the renovation, I learned a lot about the materials, and next, I will introduce it to you.

Tiles can be divided into these six types: mosaic, polished tiles, antique tiles, glazed tiles, full-body tiles, and vitrified tiles.

Full-body brick: Full-body brick has an advantage that has to be said, that is, its anti-slip performance is particularly good. Generally, the non-slip bricks we know are this kind of full-body bricks. It's the same on both sides.

This kind of tile is also cost-effective, which is considered to be inexpensive.

Polished brick: To put it simply, polished brick is actually a brick made after the surface has been polished. The polished tile material is relatively hard, which is suitable for many indoor places. But try to avoid restrooms and kitchens.

The advantage of polished tiles is that the quality is very light, and the general physical object is consistent with the first color. But the disadvantage of it is that it has poor slip resistance. So be cautious when buying.

Vitrified bricks: Although vitrified tiles also need to be polished, the difference is that it does not need to be polished, it is smoother, and the material is harder. In many ways it is much better than ordinary marble.

It has the advantage of being more distinct in color, relatively safe in composition, and lighter in weight for easy cleaning.

Glazed brick: its ** is relatively high, it is worth mentioning that its stain resistance is relatively strong, so it is especially suitable for use in bathrooms, kitchens and other places, easy to clean.

Antique brick: As the name suggests, it imitates the ancient, the style is more retro, the American style is more American, and the overall atmosphere is more atmospheric and calm.

Mosaic: Presumably, it may be because mosaics don't look very high-end, so they are often used in places like bathrooms haha.

To sum up: in fact, decorating a house is a comprehensive thing, it has to combine all aspects, such as your preferences, your income, and so on. You can't blindly listen to other people's introductions, after all, what suits you is the best.

First, to check whether the color of the tile is pure. This trick is very simple, mainly to observe whether the color of the back of the tile is uniform and consistent. Good quality ceramic tiles, green body color system.

1. Symmetry. Second, it is necessary to observe whether the particles of the cross-section of the tile are delicate. Consumers should note that the cross-section here does not refer to the cutting surface around the tile, but to the fracture of the tile fragment. Generally speaking, the fracture is fine, hard and brittle, and the color is the same.

Because the fine particles of ceramic tiles have strong waterproof ability; The ceramic tiles with larger particles are easy to soak in moisture and affect the quality.

Third, pay attention to the thickness of the glaze layer. The ceramic tile glaze is what we call the entire surface of the tile, and the glaze thickness is the thickness of the glaze cross-section. The glaze is the most expensive material in the construction of ceramic tiles, and the thicker the glaze layer, the better the natural quality.

Fourth, listen. Tap on the tiles and listen for a crisp sound. If the sound is clear and pleasant, it is the top grade, and if the voice is dull, it is the inferior product.

Fifth, test the waters. Consumers can pour some water on the back of the tile and pay attention to how quickly the tile absorbs water. After a few minutes, see if the marks left by the water on the front are obvious. The density of tiles that infiltrate slowly after the water disperses is large, and the marks left by the water are not obvious, so they are regarded as the top grade.

6. Take two bricks back to back and face to face to see if they can be closely contacted, and there is no gap, and whether there is a phenomenon of excessive gap, you can judge whether there is warping.

7. Find ink to apply to the surface for an hour and then scrub to see if there are traces, no traces are good bricks, and those that have infiltration are resolutely not selected.

8. Take two bricks and measure the geometric dimensions of the two bricks, the length and width and the diagonal to see the size deviation of the bricks.

9. You can refer to the test report issued by the national or industry testing agency provided by the merchant to compare the following index data: water absorption, wear resistance, acid resistance and pollution index identification and comparison.

First, look at the surface color of the floor tiles.

According to the variety and process of floor tiles, floor tiles can be divided into non-slip tiles, polished tiles, vitrified tiles, glazed tiles, micronized tiles and other types. If there are many grades according to the quality of floor tiles, they are mainly divided into excellent products, qualified products, and other foreign products.

To check the quality of the floor tile itself and the quality after paving, you only need to find the problem through careful observation, the floor tile itself is of poor quality and needs to be replaced, the floor tile is mainly manifested in the uneven surface of the floor tile, the corner is uneven, although the surface looks bright, but the glaze surface has a color difference problem or the glaze layer or the glaze layer in the inclusion spots. The quality inspection after the paving of floor tiles mainly depends on whether the flatness of the overall surface is greater than two millimeters within two meters, whether the joint height between bricks and bricks is greater than that, and whether the straightness of the joints exceeds 3mm within the length of 5m.

Second, tap to detect whether there is a hollow drum in the floor tile inlay.

In the room, around the room with a small iron rod and other special tools to check the wall hollow drum, gently tap the four corners and the middle of the floor tiles, the sound is crisp for no hollow drums, if the problem of hollow drums is detected, it should be marked, and the floor tiles should be removed and replaced in time.

3. Splash water on the floor tiles for testing.

In the floor tiles that are paved with drainage slope requirements in kitchens and bathrooms, a large amount of water on the upper slope can be detected when checking whether the water is going smoothly. After splashing water on it, wait for a while, and see ** stagnant water, it means that the floor tiles are uneven, or the slope of the water is not enough.

It can be observed from the following aspects:

First, the main thing to see is to see whether there are black spots, bubbles, pinholes, cracks, scratches, stains, missing edges, missing corners of vitrified tiles on the surface of the tile, and pay attention to whether there are defects such as missing throwing and missing wear. Check the trademark mark of the base embryo, the product produced by the regular manufacturer has a clear product trademark mark on the bottom embryo, if there is no or particularly vague, it is recommended to choose carefully!

Second, the weight is to weigh the weight, try the feel of the tile, the same specification of the product, ***, the high density of the brick feel is heavier, on the contrary, the quality of the product feel lighter.

3. Listen to the quality of the tile by tapping the tile and listening to the sound.

Ceramic tile: Ceramic tile is a kind of acid and alkali resistant porcelain or stone building or decoration material formed by grinding, mixing, pressing, glazing and sintering of refractory metal oxides and semi-metal oxides, which is generally called ceramic tile. Its raw materials are mostly made of clay, quartz sand, etc.

Basic introduction: ceramic tile is a kind of acid and alkali resistant porcelain or stone building or decoration material formed by the process of grinding, mixing, pressing, glazing and sintering of refractory metal oxides and semi-metal oxides, which is generally called ceramic tile. Its raw materials are mostly mixed with clay, quartz sand, etc.

The quality of the floor tile is that we can see its color, and the back color of the floor tile must be uniform. The fracture of the fragment of the floor tile is fine, hard and brittle, and the color is consistent. There is also a drip of water on the back of the floor to see its permeability, the slower the permeability is the better the quality of the floor.

Then it is to look at the hardness of the floor tiles, which will directly affect the life of the floor.

One is to look at the flatness, a good tile is a plane as a whole. Of course, the warped one is defective. The second is to look at the section of the tile, if only the section is only seen on the glaze, it is a cheap tile The third is the color, to buy the same kiln firing color of the ceramic tile can visually detect the color deviation of the tile of course
