What should I pay attention to when buying tiles?

Precautions when buying tiles:

First of all, when buying ceramic tiles, you should pay attention to what material the tile itself is made of, because the tile itself is made of different materials, and the magnetic rotation of different materials is not the same in the specific use process, therefore, in order to make the ceramic tiles you buy can be more durable, there is a better use effect when buying it is best to choose a tile with a better material.

Secondly, when buying tiles, you can't just look at the price. A lot of tiles may be a single look will feel that **is relatively high, then the quality is bound to be good. And the lower quality of the tile may not be good.

However, this view is wrong. When buying, you must personally look at the material of the tile itself and its thickness and other basic properties, from these aspects to see the quality of the tile. But you can't tell if it's good or bad when you look at the price.

Finally, if you want to choose the best quality tiles when buying tiles, you must use some more effective ways to see the best quality tiles. It is easy to understand the effect of using tiles.

The purchase of ceramic tiles can not rely on "love at first sight", because only from the degree of aesthetics often ignore the intrinsic quality of ceramic tiles, once the quality is not qualified, resulting in future engineering renovation, which is very unworthy.

First of all, when purchasing ceramic tiles, we should pay attention to several characteristics of ceramic tiles, grasp these degrees, there is a certain quality assurance, and the purchase of qualified products is the biggest money saving in a sense.

Abrasion resistance: This is an important criterion for measuring the quality of ceramic tiles, which is generally divided into five degrees.

1 degree has poor abrasion resistance, and is generally used for display walls and places with little activity.

2 degree abrasion resistance is slightly better, and can be used in bathrooms and bedrooms where there is no hard friction.

3 degrees is a tile with moderate abrasion resistance, which can be used in places with a large flow of people, such as living rooms and kitchens.

4 degrees is a highly wear-resistant tile, and it is very suitable for use in the foyer, corridor and public places of the house when luxuriously decorated.

5 degrees is an ultra-high wear-resistant tile, which is not necessary for home use, and is generally used in public places such as airports and stations.

In addition, the water absorption of ceramic tiles is also a more important criterion, ceramic tiles with high water absorption generally have smaller voids and lower density, on the contrary, the density of tiles with low water absorption is relatively high. In the living room, it is necessary to choose tiles with low water absorption, because frequent activities may bring frequent dirt, and loose brick holes can easily absorb water and dirt, thus bringing embarrassing and difficult to clean traces. The way to judge the water absorption rate of the tile is very simple, just drop a drop of water on the back of the sample tile and see if it can absorb quickly.

Wall tiles can choose tiles with high water absorption, while the floor should choose low water absorption, especially in the bathroom environment, low water absorption can also ensure that the tiles will not be over-expanded and deformed.

Hardness is also an important factor in the quality of ceramic tiles. High-quality tiles generally have high hardness, strong toughness, and are not easy to break. When buying, you can check the intrinsic quality of the tiles by tapping the pieces.

Take two tiles and knock them gently, if the sound of the bricks is crisp, with some metallic sounds, it indicates that its internal quality is very good and the hardness is high; If the voice is hoarse, there may be cracks hidden in the brick, and the hardness is not high. Tiles with high hardness are not prone to cracking and deformation for a long time after being paved.

At the same time, consumers should also pay attention to the pH resistance and chemical reagent performance of ceramic tiles when purchasing ceramic tiles, because improper cleaning in future life is likely to cause damage to ceramic tiles.

Consumers in the understanding of these specific data, the use of ceramic tiles can have a clear judgment, due to the quality of ceramic tiles is different, hardness and wear resistance is different, ** is not the same, if consumers spend a lot of money, buy back high hardness tiles, spread on the wall, this is not necessary, reasonable selection and correct use of ceramic tiles, is the right way to save money.

1. Distinguish spaces.

Look at the material, floor tiles are divided into polished tiles and glazed tiles, polished tiles are also called vitrified tiles, which have good wear resistance, suitable for living rooms and dining rooms, and are more convenient to clean. Glazed tiles have good slip resistance and are suitable for kitchen and bathroom use.

2. Look at the appearance.

The color of the tile should be uniform, the surface finish and flatness should be good, the surrounding area should be regular, the pattern should be complete, and there should be no defects such as color difference, deformation, lack of edges and corners.

3. Listen to the sound.

Tap the tile with a hard object to listen to it, the crisper the sound is, the more porcelain it produces and the quality is good. If it makes a dull sound, it is not of good quality.

4. Drip test.

The water droplets are trapped on the back of the tile, and the speed of infiltration is observed after the water is dispersed, and the slower the water absorption, which proves that the tile is dense; The fast absorption of water proves that the density is sparse.

5. Measurement. The higher the accuracy of the side length of the tile, the better it is after paving, the high-quality tile is easy to apply, and can save man-hours and accessories.

Second, the principle of purchasing ceramic tiles.

1. Budget**.

The ceramic tiles on the market are high and low, and the high-end tiles cost a few hundred yuan per square meter, and the cheap ones are a few dollars. Choose according to your budget.

2. Clarify the laying area.

There are many types of floor tiles, which should be chosen according to the kitchen, bathroom, balcony, living room and other areas.

3. Clarify the type of need.

When buying floor tiles, you should choose according to your own style.

4. Clarify the specifications of brick selection.

First determine the specifications of the tile, if it is a bathroom, it is recommended to choose a small size of tile, because you need to find the slope, so that the floor drain drainage is more convenient.

5. Shop around.

When purchasing floor tiles, it is necessary to investigate the tile brand and make corresponding records.

When buying ceramic tiles, you need to pay attention to the following aspects:

1.Tile size: Tile size refers to the length, width, thickness and size of the tile.

When purchasing ceramic tiles, you need to choose tiles of different specifications according to the use scenario and decoration needs. For example, in home renovation, the commonly used tile size is *600, etc., while in commercial space, a larger size tile will be chosen.

2.Tile color and texture: Tile color and texture refer to the pattern and pattern on the surface of the tile.

When choosing ceramic tiles, you need to consider the overall decoration style of its matching, as well as the use scenario. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to whether the color and texture of the tile surface are uniform and clear, and whether there are problems such as color difference.

3.Tile material: There are two main types of ceramic tile materials: ceramic and porcelain.

Among them, porcelain tiles have high hardness, high density, and good waterproof performance, and are suitable for indoor and outdoor grounds, swimming pools, bathrooms and other spaces; The ceramic tile has good wear resistance and is suitable for indoor floors and walls. When choosing tiles, you need to choose according to the use environment and actual needs.

4.Tile quality: The quality of ceramic tiles is mainly reflected in its surface smoothness, wear resistance, anti-slip properties, color difference, etc.

When purchasing ceramic tiles, it is necessary to carefully check whether the surface is smooth and non-destructive, and at the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the assembly method of the tile, the core material, the cavity structure and the treatment of the corners.

5.Tile branding: Tile branding is another important consideration.

Well-known brand ceramic tiles have exquisite design, high-quality pressing technology and excellent after-sales service. In contrast, some unnamed brand tiles may have some quality problems, so you need to pay more attention to brand reputation and user reputation when purchasing.
