How to distinguish the quality of tiles? Who is right about the speed of water absorption?

How to choose tiles.

Home decoration should buy tiles, 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.

The price is not a good brick at a glance, not a Guangdong brick, the wall tile does not need to look at the low or high water absorption, it is originally to soak in the water before dipping, if it really does not absorb water, it is not sticky, look at the wall tile mainly pick the size gauge is not standard, the flatness is good, there is no small hole or small point on the surface, the brighter the surface, the better, these are the effects of your decoration. Buying decoration is not called an acquaintance, acquaintance is easy to slaughter, he shows you that the shipping receipt can be fake, to see how much money he actually collected. The brand you bought is a miscellaneous brand, it is recommended that you go a few more, and it is recommended that you buy brand bricks will not have these concerns, you mainly pick the color on it, he will not tell you how fast or slow the water absorption, the general price of Guangdong brands is 7, 8 yuan.

But most people don't know what brand they are, so I'll tell you a simple way to identify whether it's a good brand, that is, if you see this brand in several shopping malls or markets, then this brand is fine.

Wall tiles are all absorbent, but the water absorption rate is different.

The water absorption rate of good bricks is small, and vice versa. This is related to the density of the bricks. The higher the compactness, the less water absorption, the better the texture of the brick. The kind of bricks that absorb water quickly are better not to use. The lifespan should be short.

The easiest way is to weigh the weight with your hands, and the most important thing is a good brick. (The feeling of a thug). Real Cantonese bricks will do. Each piece is more than five yuan.

The flatness and ruler difference should not be underestimated. See if there is such a problem with that brick.

You're talking about wall tiles, and it's commonly known as porcelain tiles, this kind of bricks should be soaked in water before paving, because there are holes in the inside of this brick, and the moisture in the cement sand on the back of the wall will not run into the tiles too quickly, so that it can be stained.

In fact, the good and bad of ceramic tiles as ordinary consumers can not be immediately distinguished, the usual practice is to test the water weight and listen to the sound, but can you really figure it out? It can only be mastered some small skills, and can not play too much role, I suggest you choose a good brand, of course, a good brand is not necessarily from Guangdong, some Guangdong bricks are still produced in Zibo, Shandong, hehe. If it is a wall tile of 300*300, your ** is still okay, or you can choose a better price.

I think the speed of water seepage should have something to do with the density of the tiles, to give you my experience, you must be careful when decorating woodworking, aluminum tiles are afraid of aluminum scratches, and the strokes are like pencil strokes, but they will not fall.

Drop some water on the back of the tile. When people buy ceramic tiles, merchants often use this method to guide consumers to identify the quality of ceramic tiles: fast water seepage, high water absorption, slow water seepage, low water absorption.

In fact, the correct way to judge the water absorption rate of ceramic tiles is to knock on the tiles and judge the bad of the tiles by the sound. The sound is crisp and loud, which proves that the sintering effect of the tile is good and the density is high, and the sound is muffled, which means that the density is low, and the water absorption rate is high, and the quality of such tiles is not very good.

About the knowledge of ceramic tiles, you can go to the home to ask or the forum to consult, ** professional staff will answer for you.

There is no other way but to put it in the water.

The floor tiles have low water absorption, and the wall tiles have high water absorption, which is a must!

Pour water on the reverse side of the tile to see how fast the water penetrates. The faster the penetration, the smaller the density of the body and the higher the water seepage rate.

No, the higher the water absorption rate of the tile, the lower the density, the worse the pollution resistance, and the more fragile.

In terms of appearance and texture, the product with low water absorption rate has high strength, is not easy to expand, tight and hard, has high internal stability, is not easy to absorb dirt, and is relatively easy to clean; The density of tiles with high water absorption rate is relatively loose, easy to absorb water, easy to expand and crack after thermal expansion and cold contraction, wall tiles are easy to fall off, floor tiles are easy to hollow, and the tiles themselves are easy to absorb stains, affecting the overall appearance.

From the point of view of decoration construction, tiles with high water absorption rate can be paved with ordinary cement mortar; Tiles with low water absorption require a more viscous adhesive when being laid.

It is good to have a low water absorption rate.

Now there are few full tiles and half tiles, the difference between the two is the water absorption, the full tile refers to the water absorption rate is less than the tile, also called vitrified brick. The water absorption of half tiles is greater than .

All-porcelain ceramic tiles have high hardness, not easy to break, high anti-fouling performance, low water absorption and good flatness. Semi-porcelain tiles have low hardness, easy to break, easy to penetrate, and poor gloss.

The water absorption rate of all porcelain is very low, and it can be paved without soaking in water, but the semi-porcelain also has to be soaked in water for construction, as if the red bricks are not burned through, and the cut surface of the bricks is not the same, and it is not the same.

The whole tile is a vitrified brick, all porcelain, no water absorption, strong anti-fouling ability. All-porcelain ceramic tiles have high hardness, not easy to break, high anti-fouling performance, low water absorption and good flatness. Semi-porcelain tiles have low hardness, easy to break, easy to penetrate, and poor gloss.
