There are so many types of tiles, how to choose tiles?

01 Look at the anti-fouling performance of tiles.

Different bricks have different anti-fouling properties, such as polished bricks compared with glazed tiles, the anti-fouling performance of polished tiles is relatively good, here you can use a marker pen to paint on the tiles, you can wipe clean the anti-fouling performance is good, it should be noted that beware of merchants to take out glazed tiles and polished tiles to compare, this is not comparable, because glazed tiles because of their uneven surface, it is certainly not so easy to wipe and not so clean, so the same kind of tiles should be used for comparison;

02 Look at the water absorption rate of bricks.

Sprinkle water on the back of the tile, look at the water absorption area of the brick, it should be noted that some businesses will use the high water absorption rate of the porcelain tile to set off the water absorption rate of the tile, which is also wrong, because the water absorption rate of the porcelain tile is high, so the tile needs to be soaked in water when paving;

03 Look at the wear resistance of bricks.

Use sharp things on the surface of polished bricks, such as keys to scratch or scrape on the surface of bricks, if it will not leave traces, it is better, but it is better to know that in addition to polishing tiles, the surface of other bricks should not be scratched or scraped with sharp things, because the materials and processing techniques of their surface are different, so the wear resistance is different;

04 Look at the anti-slip performance of bricks.

Pour some water on the surface of the brick, if it is not easy to slip on it, it is relatively better for its anti-slip performance;

05 Look at the hardness of the bricks.

Look at the hardness of the brick, you can put the brick on an angle, and then stand on the person, if it will not break, the hardness of the brick should be good, here to be careful is when testing, in case the brick is broken and hurts people, so be careful;

Now the tiles are indeed diverse, but the changes are inseparable, the tiles are a decorative fabric, the color is good-looking, I prefer the color of the imported brand, I recommend a Punasi tile, or a brand worth recommending.

<><How to choose many types of tiles?

One of the most troublesome things about decoration must be buying tiles. Take a trip to the building materials market and you will find that there are many types of tiles, and the variety of patterns and patterns makes people dazzled. If you ask carefully, what kind of polished bricks and glazed bricks are said in the sales mouth, for laymen, they are stunned.

Let me give you a science popularization of the three common ceramic tiles and their characteristics, to help you choose tiles without worry.

1. Polished tiles.

Polished brick is a kind of brick that shows a bright color after grinding or polishing, and it is also a kind of full-body brick. Its production process is relatively simple, and the cost of large-scale production is low, plus it is particularly durable, although the surface texture is relatively single, the color is monotonous, but its brightness and color are more in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese people, so this kind of brick is more common in the market, and it is also more popular.

Often, we use erection tiles in the paved living room and balcony. The glossy effect makes the paved space beautiful and atmospheric. There are many capillary holes on the surface of the polished tile, so it is not very resistant to dirt, but it is more non-slip and can be abrasion resistant.

2. Throwing glazed bricks.

Glazed bricks can be said to be an upgraded version of polished tiles, so they must be more expensive than polished tiles. It is to add a layer of glaze to the surface on the basis of polished tiles. Generally speaking, glazed bricks are more suitable for use in kitchens and bathrooms.

One is that its color is richer and more beautiful, and the other is that it has better stain resistance. The reason why the living room does not consider the glazed tile is mainly concerned about the wear resistance of the glazed brick is not enough, the glaze on its surface is very bright and thin, after all, the living room needs to move around a lot, therefore, we are more inclined to use this kind of tile in the kitchen and bathroom.

3. Antique bricks.

Antique bricks have also become popular in recent years, and are often used in living rooms, balconies and walls. The antique brick color is novel and natural, there is a retro taste, the decorative effect is excellent, and it looks particularly dirt-resistant. However, when buying antique tiles, if you buy the kind of uneven surface, this type of tile is very difficult to clean, you must be cautious.

The above three types of tiles are the most common types of tiles on the market, have you learned them all? Don't buy the wrong one, otherwise the ground will be scratched if you don't live for two years.

The types of ceramic tiles can be divided into glazed tiles, full-body tiles, polished tiles, vitrified tiles and mosaics according to their production technology and characteristics. Of course, different characteristics of ceramic tiles have their own best use, and if you have enough knowledge of ceramic tiles, you can make the best use of them when decorating your room.

All-over bricks: The surface of the all-body bricks 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.

The scope of application is widely used in halls, corridors and outdoor walkways and other floors, and is generally less used on walls.

Glazed bricks: 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 use bright glazed tiles, and matte glazed tiles should not be used, because oil stains enter the brick surface and are difficult to clean.

Glazed tiles are also suitable for toilets, balconies, etc.

Polished brick: Polished brick is a brick 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. In addition to the bathroom and kitchen, most indoor spaces can be used.

Vitrified bricks: Vitrified bricks are fired from quartz sand and mud 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 applicationVitrified bricks are suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, walkways, etc.

Mosaic: 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 applicationIt is widely used in small indoor areas, walls and outdoor walls and floors with small and colorful colors.

Glazed bricks: Glazed bricks are bricks whose surface has been glazed. The glazed bricks are more colorful and have anti-fouling effects. It can be divided into two types based on the difference of raw materials:

Ceramic glazed tiles (abbreviated pottery glaze), i.e. made of clay firing, are characterized by a dark red color on the back.

Porcelain glazed tiles (enamel for short), that is, made of porcelain clay firing, are characterized by the gray-white color of the back.

Unglazed tiles Unglazed bricks are made of porcelain clay, the surface is not glazed, and the material and color of the front and back are the same, hence the name. Unglazed brick is a kind of wear-resistant brick, now there are varieties such as seepage unglazed bricks, because the current interior design is more and more inclined to plain design, so unglazed bricks have become more and more fashionable, and are widely used in halls, corridors and outdoor walkways and other decoration projects on the ground, generally less will be used for walls, and most of the non-slip bricks are unglazed bricks.

Polished brickPolished brick is a kind of bright brick made by grinding the surface of the whole brick. Polished tiles belong to a type of all-body bricks. Compared with the rough plane of the whole brick, the polished tile is much smoother.

Polished brick is hard and wear-resistant, on the basis of the use of seepage technology, polished brick can make a variety of imitation stone, imitation wood effect, and the color difference is smaller than that of stone, and the hardness is also more than that of stone.

Vitrified bricksVitrified tiles are actually full tiles. Its surface is smooth but does not need to be polished, so there is no problem of polishing porosity. Solved the problem that polished tiles are easy to get dirty.

Vitrified tile is a strengthened polished tile that is fired at high temperature and has the hardest texture of all ceramic tiles.

Mosaic: 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. It is widely used in small indoor walls and outdoor small walls or floors with small and colorful colors, and is mostly used for small area decoration.

Microcrystalline stone tiles.

As another of the most attractive new categories after polished bricks and antique bricks, microcrystalline stone, also known as microcrystalline jade, jade crystal, etc., is a new type of composite brick made by combining glass-ceramic on the surface of ceramic vitrified bricks and sintering them twice; It integrates the advantages of glass, ceramics and stone, integrates glass melting process, ceramic tile molding and crystallization heat treatment, polishing and cutting technology, and has the characteristics of non-radioactivity, non-water absorption, anti-seepage and high brightness. Microcrystalline stone tiles are often used as TV background walls, because they are very beautiful and generous, and the reflected light is very soft, so it has been recognized by more and more people.

Fully glazed tiles.

Full glazed ceramic tile is a ceramic tile product that has only emerged in recent years, but it has become a product that most people will choose. It is a kind of finishing brick, characterized by its glaze, in the production process, the glaze is added to the surface of the tile for firing, so as to make such an excellent color, texture. Not only is the shape gorgeous and beautiful, but the color is also very good, the color is rich and bright, and it has a sense of hierarchy.

Whether it is a small apartment or a large apartment, there will be a suitable texture pattern as a laying option. The full glazed ceramic tile is very cost-effective, and it is a very competitive product in the limited budget of the householders.

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.

1. Glazed bricks.

Glazed bricks are bricks whose surface has been glazed. Glazed tiles are divided into ceramic glazed tiles and porcelain glazed tiles according to different materials. Ceramic glazed bricks are made of clay firing, with high water absorption and relatively low strength, and their main feature is that the back color is red, while porcelain glazed bricks are made of porcelain clay, with low water absorption and relatively high strength, and its main feature is that the back color is grayish-white.

Glazed bricks are the most common type of bricks in decoration, which is not only rich in color, but also has strong anti-fouling ability, and is widely used in wall and ground decoration.

2. Full-body bricks.

The whole brick is a kind of wear-resistant brick, the surface is not glazed, the front and back are the same color, and its color is not as good as the glazed brick. Full-body bricks are widely used in the ground of decoration projects such as halls, aisles, and outdoor walkways. The store manager of Nobel tiles told that in the simple plain home decoration style, all-body tiles have been loved by a specific group of people and have become more and more fashionable.

3. Polished tiles.

Polished brick is a kind of bright brick made by polishing the surface of the whole brick, which belongs to a kind of whole body brick, relative to the whole body brick, the surface of the polished tile is much smoother, the polished tile is hard and wear-resistant, and is suitable for use in most indoor spaces except for the bathroom and kitchen.

4. Vitrified bricks.

Vitrified tile is actually a full tile, its surface is smooth but does not need to be polished, so there is no problem of polishing pores. Vitrified tile is a type of strengthened polished brick, which is fired at high temperatures. The texture is harder and more wear-resistant than polished tiles. Undoubtedly, it's just as high.

5. Mosaic.

Mosaic is a special way of being bricks, which is generally composed of ten small bricks to form a relatively large brick. It is widely used for small indoor areas, walls and outdoor large and small walls and floors with its small size and colorful. Mosaics are divided into three types: ceramic mosaics, marble mosaics, and glass mosaics.
