What are the types of commonly used floor tiles, and what are the advantages of each?

There are three main types of floor tiles commonly used in households: glazed tiles (including glazed antique tiles), polished vitrified tiles, and all-ceramic antique tiles.

Glazed tiles (including glazed antique tiles): refers to the glaze on the embryo body of the tile by high temperature and high pressure firing, the tile is composed of two parts: the soil embryo and the glaze layer on the surface. The water absorption rate of glazed tiles used for floor decoration is required to be less than 6%.

The role of the glaze layer on the surface of the glazed brick is to increase the beauty of the tile, the second is to increase the anti-fouling performance of the tile, the combination of the glaze layer on the surface is very tight, the water from the glaze is not penetrated into the brick, the anti-fouling performance is preferential, is its most prominent advantage, its disadvantage is that the wear-resistant performance of the glaze is worse than that of the vitrified brick, and its wear-resistant problem, on the person walking around and stepping on it, there is no problem with using it for one or two decades! In the process of use, it is necessary to pay attention to try not to be taken seriously, smash and knock the glaze.

Vitrified brick refers to the ceramic tile that has been burned through, "vitrified" refers to the meaning of all-porcelain and burned through, and the measurement of quantitative indicators refers to the ceramic tile with less water absorption. If the surface of this kind of tile is polished, it is the polished vitrified tile with a mirror luster that we often see. If the surface of the vitrified tile is not polished and polished, it is a matte series of vitrified bricks.

Generally speaking, the vitrified bricks that we reflect are not anti-fouling, referring to the polished series of vitrified bricks, this kind of ceramic tiles are all made of clay clay and some ore powder through high temperature and high pressure firing, even if the clay clay and ore powder are ground smaller and finer, the firing temperature is higher, and the pressure of the press is larger, but the gap between these fine particles in the raw materials of the embryo body is still larger than the water molecules, and the dirt can still penetrate into the brick. Now the general manufacturer's solution to this problem is to wax on the surface of the tile or do ultra-clean and bright technology treatment, waxing can effectively increase the anti-fouling performance of the tile, but if the wax is not good, the particle of the tile blank grinding is not very large, the anti-fouling performance will be greatly affected. The ultra-clean and bright technology is to add a protective layer composed of nano-sized particles on the surface of the brick, which can completely solve the anti-fouling problem of vitrified bricks!

All-ceramic antique brick, now many people also call it a full-body antique brick or vitrified antique brick, also belongs to a kind of vitrified brick, its water absorption rate is also less than, this kind of tile is in the brick blank into a special glaze after high temperature and high pressure firing, which not only has the characteristics of high hardness, high density and high flexural strength of polished vitrified bricks, but also has the good antifouling performance of glazed bricks.

If you focus on the anti-fouling performance of ceramic tiles, you can consider choosing ultra-clean bright vitrified tiles or all-ceramic antique tiles.

The man upstairs seemed to be an expert in the industry, and he spoke the truth, but he made a mistake that was too obvious. Here help him correct it and don't mislead the consumer.

Commonly used floor tiles are mainly divided into three categories: polished tiles (also known as vitrified tiles), porcelain tiles (also known as interior wall tiles, or ceramic glazed tiles), and antique tiles (also known as porcelain glazed tiles).

Polished tiles have high gloss, good wear resistance, low water absorption, and generally the water absorption rate is below. According to the different technical processes, polished bricks are divided into two categories: micro powder bricks and seepage tiles, compared with micro powder bricks, the gloss is lower, the antifouling is poor, and the color is not rich enough. The seepage brick with ultra-clean and bright anti-fouling technology has significantly improved the anti-fouling and gloss.

Polished bricks are generally used for building interior and exterior walls and floors, but due to poor slip resistance, they are not suitable for kitchen and bathroom space.

The color of the porcelain tile is relatively rich and bright. The product is ceramic, so the water absorption rate is high, and the national standard is more than 10%, which is mainly used for the wall of the kitchen and bathroom.

Antique bricks, in the past, were non-porcelain, and now porcelain antique bricks are more popular, also known as porcelain glazed tiles. The water absorption rate of porcelain antique brick is the same as that of polished brick. Antique bricks win with free cutting and free matching, and the style is relatively modern.

It can be widely used in the walls and floors of living rooms, bedrooms, lounges, study rooms, balconies, kitchen and bathroom spaces.

There are many kinds, and it's definitely hard to explain.

When we go out, we will choose different shoes according to the different places we go, for example, when we go to climb, we will choose shoes that are non-slip, wear-resistant, and suitable for mountaineering, and when we go running, we will choose shoes that are light and suitable for running. So in the decoration, we should also choose the corresponding floor tiles according to the different uses of each area, so as to give us a better home experience. First of all, the entrance, as a junction between the home and the outside world, we often change shoes here, and the soles of the shoes are very easy to get dirty when walking around outside.

Therefore, it is best to choose the floor tiles of the entrance that are both dirty and wear-resistant, and the polished tiles are more in line with the needs of the entrance. The second is the living room, the demand for floor tiles in the living room will be much larger than other places, so the specifications of the floor tiles are larger than those in the kitchen and bathroom, it is recommended that you choose 800 * 800 full glaze, or the whole body of marble, rich patterns, clear texture, and relatively long service life. Then there is the kitchen and bathroom, both of which should pay attention to anti-slip, it is recommended to use antique bricks, which are anti-slip and stain-resistant, and the colors are richer.

Finally, there is the balcony, the balcony often dries clothes, so to be moisture-proof, as well as non-slip, wood grain brick is a good choice, concave and convex texture anti-slip and moisture-proof, the style is also more beautiful. Regarding the selection of decoration materials, it is correct to analyze the needs first, and then decide on the materials.

Floor tiles can be divided into glazed tiles, full-body tiles, polished tiles, vitrified tiles and mosaics according to their production process and characteristics, different types of tiles have their own characteristics, and the following types of tiles can be used for reference.

Full-body bricks: the surface is not glazed, and the material and color of the front and back are the same, the full-body bricks are more wear-resistant, but their colors are not as rich as glazed bricks, and are widely used in halls, aisles and outdoor walkways and other grounds.

Glazed brick: The surface of the brick is glazed with rich colors and patterns, and has the effect of anti-fouling, but because the surface of the glazed brick is glaze, the wear resistance is not as good as that of polished brick, which is suitable for laying in toilets, balconies and other places.

Polished bricks: the bricks made by grinding and polishing, compared to the rough plane of the whole bricks, the polished bricks are much smoother, the hardness of this brick is very high, very wear-resistant, on the basis of the use of seepage technology, the polished bricks can make a variety of imitation stone, imitation wood effect, in addition to the bathroom, kitchen, most of the remaining indoor spaces can be used.

Vitrified bricks: made of quartz sand and mud fired in a certain proportion, and then polished and bright, the surface is as smooth and translucent as a glass mirror, which is the hardest of all ceramic tiles, but the defect of vitrified bricks is that after polishing, the pores are exposed, dust, oil, etc. are easy to penetrate, and the vitrified bricks are mainly used as floor tiles for laying, suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, and walkways.

Mosaic: It is a kind of brick that exists in a special way, 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, and is widely used in indoor small area of ground and outdoor ground.

Generally, when choosing a tile, we start with its pattern, and then look at its material, but one thing is very important is the applicability of the tile, we also have to pick the place that is suitable for the decoration we want to decorate, so it is important to understand the information about the type of tile, so, what are the types of tiles? What are the characteristics of each?

Generally, ceramic tiles are divided into six categories: polished tiles, vitrified tiles, glazed tiles, antique tiles, ceramic cotton tiles and full-body tiles, and the characteristics of these six categories are as follows

1. Polished brick: Polished brick is a kind of full-body brick. Compared to full-body bricks, the surface of polished tiles is much smoother. Polished tiles are hard and wear-resistant, but they are not suitable for use in washrooms and kitchen spaces, because polished tiles are easy to get dirty and do not have good anti-slip properties.

2. Vitrified bricks: vitrified bricks are strengthened polished tiles. The surface does not need to be polished to be bright.

It can be more resistant to dirt. Polished tiles and vitrified tiles are relatively beautiful, with high wear resistance, and are generally used in living rooms. Vitrified tile is the hardest of all ceramic tiles.

Vitrified bricks require a better press, which can press higher density, and the firing temperature is higher, so that it can achieve full porcelain.

3. Glazed bricks: The surface of glazed bricks can be made of various patterns and patterns, glazed bricks are glazed on the surface of the embryo body, and the main body is divided into two types: ceramic and porcelain. Because the surface is glazed, the wear resistance is not as good as that of polished tiles and vitrified tiles.

In addition to the size, the identification of glazed tiles also depends on the water absorption. Generally, a good brick press is good, with high density, high firing temperature, and small water absorption. Glazed tiles are generally used in kitchens and bathrooms.

The color pattern is rich and the anti-slip performance is good. Glazed tiles are generally not very large, but they can be small, such as mosaics. At present, about 80% of buyers of home decoration choose this brick as the ground decoration material.

4. Antique bricks: Antique bricks are imported from abroad, which are essentially glazed porcelain bricks. Antique bricks belong to ordinary tiles, and magnetic sheets are basically the same, the so-called antique, refers to the effect of bricks, should be called antique effect of tiles, antique bricks are not difficult to clean.

The only difference is in the firing process, the technical content of antique bricks is relatively high, thousands of tons of hydraulic press pressing, and then sintered at a high temperature of 1,000 degrees, so that its strength is high, with strong wear resistance, the well-developed antique bricks have both waterproof, anti-slip, corrosion-resistant characteristics.

Antique bricks imitate the previous style to do the old, with a unique classical charm to attract people's attention, in order to reflect the vicissitudes of the years, the thickness of history, antique bricks through the style, color, pattern, to create a nostalgic atmosphere. 5. Ceramic mosaic bricks: mosaics, with many specifications, thin and small, hard texture, acid resistance, alkali resistance, wear resistance, water seepage, strong pressure resistance, not easy to break, diverse colors, and wide range of uses.

6. Full-body bricks: generally speaking"Non-slip floor tiles"Most of them are all-over bricks. This is an unglazed porcelain tile that has good slip resistance and abrasion resistance.

The above are the six categories of ceramic tiles, understanding the types of tiles has a great effect on our choice of ceramic tiles, by understanding its various types of information we can know what type of tiles we need for our decoration range, which can also make a good choice for us.
