How to distinguish ceramic tiles from terracotta tiles from appearance?

It can be distinguished from the following points:

1. Look at the reverse side, the material is different, the tiles are smooth and reflective, and the clay bricks are just flat;

2. The back of the clay fired tile is red, and the back of the porcelain clay fired brick is white;

3. The sound of pottery striking is relatively dull, while the porcelain is crisp and the vibration frequency is relatively large; The reason is that the pottery firing temperature is low, and there are many cavities in it. Porcelain has a high firing temperature and a tight combination of embryos.

4. If the clay brick falls off the powder, you wipe it gently with your hands, and a lot of powdered things will fall off, but porcelain does not have this phenomenon; The reason is that the hardness of the pottery does not meet certain requirements, and there are certain problems in the degree of embryonic body bonding, and the combination is loose.

5. Under the same conditions, the weight is different, the pottery is lighter, and the porcelain is heavier due to its high density.

The difference between terracotta and ceramic tile is the water absorption. The water absorption is less than that of ceramic tiles, more than 10 is ceramic tiles, and between the two is semi-porcelain. Common all kinds of polished tiles, unglazed mosaic tiles, most of the sanitary ware is porcelain, water absorption; Antique bricks, small floor tiles (climbing walls), crystal bricks, wear-resistant bricks, matte bricks, etc. are stoneware bricks, that is, semi-ceramic tiles, water absorption porcelain tiles, pottery pipes, facing tiles, glazed products, etc. are generally ceramic, and the water absorption rate is 10%.

Porcelain brick texture is delicate, the specifications are diverse, the production process, whether it is color, pattern, or luster, the design is more exquisite and unique, with a good decorative effect, can create a variety of style effects, such as European style, Chinese style, modern fashion. The ceramic brick decoration is more of a natural simplicity, and the glazed porcelain tiles are also widely used in home decoration because of the more and more rich colors.

1.The structure is different The surface brick is usually composed of the three parts of the embryo body, the bottom glaze layer and the top glaze layer, while the tile needs to be fired in the later stage, and the specifications are also different.

2.The water absorption rate of bricks on different sides is relatively strong, which can reach about 20%; The water absorption rate of ceramic tiles can only reach about it, and in the ceramic tile industry, the water absorption rate is only or lower, which is called ceramic tiles.

First, the introduction of face bricks and tiles.

1. Introduction of face bricks.

The surface brick is mainly pasted on the surface of the building, and the paving position is different, there are three kinds of bricks: exterior wall bricks, interior wall bricks and ground tiles; According to the different materials of the face bricks, some face bricks still have porcelain series, such as glazed, unglazed, polished and vitrified series of bricks.

2. Introduction of ceramic tiles.

Ceramic tiles are generally used on walls and floors, mainly made of refractory metal oxides and semi-metal oxides, which are later grinding, mixed, pressed and sintered. This brick is resistant to acid and alkali, and the types are also diverse.

Second, what is the difference between face bricks and tiles?

1. The structure is different.

The surface tile is usually composed of the three parts of the embryo body, the bottom glaze layer and the top glaze layer, while the tile needs to be fired in the later stage, and the specifications are also different.

2. The water absorption rate is different.

The water absorption rate of the face brick is relatively strong, which can reach about 20%; The water absorption rate of ceramic tiles can only reach about it, and in the ceramic tile industry, the water absorption rate is only or lower, which is called ceramic tiles.

3. Different uses.

Facing bricks and tiles are two different materials in the process of decoration, and you can choose according to your own needs when decorating. Facing tiles will be smoother than tiles.

The difference between terracotta and ceramic tile is the water absorption. The water absorption is less than that of ceramic tiles, more than 10 is ceramic tiles, and between the two is semi-porcelain. Common all kinds of polished tiles, unglazed tiles, most of the sanitary ware is porcelain, water absorption; Antique bricks, small floor tiles (climbing walls), crystal bricks, wear-resistant bricks, matte bricks, etc. are stoneware bricks, that is, semi-ceramic tiles, with water absorption; Porcelain tiles, pottery pipes, facing tiles, glazed products, etc. are generally ceramic, and the water absorption rate is 10%.

The sound of pottery knocking out is relatively dull, while the porcelain is crisp and the vibration frequency is relatively large, just like you buy watermelon, good watermelon, when knocking, your hand can feel a great vibration frequency; The reason is that the pottery firing temperature is low, and there are many cavities in it. Porcelain has a high firing temperature and a tight combination of embryos.

If you gently wipe it with your hand, a lot of powdered things will fall off, but porcelain does not have this phenomenon. The reason is that the hardness of the pottery does not meet certain requirements, and there are certain problems in the degree of embryonic body bonding, and the combination is loose.

The penetration is not the same, the penetration of ceramic bricks is more, while the ceramic tiles (in the strict sense of the word ceramic tiles are impermeable) are relatively less; Of course, good pottery, such as the purple clay pot we use to burn soup, should be divided into a thing between pottery and porcelain, and in the actual classification, it still belongs to pottery.

Under the same conditions, the weight is different, the pottery is lighter, and the porcelain is heavier due to its high density.

1. Listen to the sound, the first trick to listen to the sound is to hear whether the hardness of the tile is up to standard, because the tile is to withstand people's trampling, so the hardness is a very important indicator. Place the tile vertically, then tap the middle and lower part of the tile with your finger, if the sound is clear, it means that the tile is of high quality.

2. Measure, before choosing tiles, be sure to bring a ruler in your bag to measure the tiles. The tiles used in the home are quadrangular, and what you need to do is to measure whether the length of the four sides is equal, and then measure whether the length of the two diagonals is equal. Of course, the smaller the error of the tile, the better.

3. Weigh two tiles of the same specification by hand, or weigh the one that is relatively good, which proves that the density of the brick is large, so it is more durable.

In home decoration, ceramic tiles are almost always used. However, there are many types of tiles, and the characteristics of each category are also different, and different types of tiles are used in every space of the home.

1.All-over bricks.

The surface of the all-over brick is not glazed, and the material and color of the front and back are the same, hence the name. The whole brick is more wear-resistant, but its color is not as good as that of glazed brick. The classification is divided into non-slip bricks, polished bricks and seepage bricks.

Scope of application: It is widely used in halls, corridors and outdoor walkways and other floors, and is generally less used on walls.

2.glazed tiles.

Glazed bricks are bricks whose surface has been glazed. Generally speaking, glazed tiles are more colorful and patterned than polished tiles, and at the same time play a role in preventing stains. But because the surface of glazed tiles is glaze, the wear resistance is not as good as that of polished tiles.

The classification is divided into ceramic glazed tiles and porcelain glazed tiles according to raw materials. According to the different luster, it is divided into two types: matte and bright.

Scope of application: The kitchen should be made of bright glazed tiles, and matte glazed tiles should not be used, because oil stains enter the brick surface, which is difficult to clean. Glazed tiles are also suitable for toilets, balconies, etc.

3.Polished tiles.

Polished bricks are bricks made by grinding and polishing the whole brick. Compared with the rough plane of the whole brick, the polished tile is much smoother. This type of brick is very hard and very wear-resistant.

On the basis of the use of seepage technology, polished tiles can make a variety of imitation stone and imitation wood effects. The classification can be divided into infiltration-type polished bricks, micronized polished bricks, multi-tube cloth polished tiles, and microcrystalline stones.

Scope of application: In addition to the bathroom and kitchen, most of the other indoor spaces can be used.

4.Vitrified tiles.

Vitrified bricks are made of quartz sand and mud fired in a certain proportion, and then polished but do not need to be polished, and the surface is as smooth and translucent as a glass mirror, which is the hardest of all ceramic tiles. Vitrified tiles are superior to ordinary glazed tiles, polished tiles and general marble in terms of water absorption, edge straightness, bending strength, acid and alkali resistance, etc. However, the vitrified brick is not perfect, its defect is that after polishing, the pores are exposed, and dust, oil, etc. are easy to penetrate.

The classification is mainly floor tiles. It is a type of polished tile.

Scope of application: suitable for living room, bedroom, corridor, etc.

5.Mosaic bricks.

Mosaic is a kind of brick with a special way of being, which is generally composed of dozens of small bricks to form a relatively large brick. Acid-resistant, alkali-resistant, wear-resistant, non-seepage, strong pressure resistance, not easy to break. Classification: It is mainly divided into ceramic mosaics, marble mosaics, and glass mosaics.

Scope of application: It is widely used in small indoor areas, walls and outdoor walls and floors with small and colorful colors.

Wall tile is a kind of ceramic tile, which is a glazed fine pottery product with a water absorption rate of less than 21%. It is mainly used for indoor wall decoration. The wall tile is composed of three parts, the green body, the bottom glaze layer, and the top glaze layer.

The water absorption rate of the bottom of the billet is generally less than 3%, the number of grams of glaze applied to the bottom glaze is 40-60 grams, and the number of grams of top glaze is 90-160 grams. The floor tile is a kind of ground decoration material, which is fired with clay, with a wide variety of specifications, with a small quality and bulk density, relatively pressure resistance and wear resistance, can prevent moisture and other advantages, and some are glazed treatment, can play a decorative role. It is mostly used on the ground of public buildings and civil buildings.

In addition to choosing a good tile, but also to see its worst, you have to know that the choice of tiles still has a certain skill, you can choose in accordance with this principle when choosing, a look, two listens, three drops of water, four feet. First of all, you have to look at the appearance, such as saying that you can tile the color to be uniform, generally speaking, its surface finish and flatness are better, and its surrounding rules, the pattern is complete, such quality is also better. Extract four or five pieces from a box to check for defects such as color difference, deformation, lack of edges and corners.

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.

Drip test. Water can be dropped on the back of the tile, to see the water dispersed after the speed of soaking, generally speaking, the more chaotic 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. Measurements.

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. The effect of the silver tile will be better, first of all, it will be relatively smooth, the flatness will be better, and the wear resistance will be better.

Kitchen floor tiles must choose non-slip tiles, with a matte surface as well, needless to say; In addition, the kitchen wall tiles are made of smooth glaze, which is more convenient to clean.

The bathroom and kitchen are also made of the same material.

The balcony can be paved with non-slip tiles if you want to dry clothes; If the balcony is sealed, it can be paved with pebbles, etc.

Ceramic tiles are selected from Dongpeng tiles, big brand, quality ***. Use it with confidence
