How to choose wall tiles and floor tiles? How to choose wall and floor tiles

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.

Pick according to your needs:

Before choosing tiles, you should be clear about where you want to use the tiles you buy, because the tiles used in different places are not the same, now the tiles are mainly divided into three categories according to the function, wall tiles and waist line tiles, according to the type of glazed bricks, full-body bricks and non-slip bricks, etc., so before the selection should be selected according to their own needs, can not be carried out blindly.

According to the harmony of the decoration:

The selection of tiles should not only be selected according to their own preferences and tastes, but also consider the style of their tiles, whether the color is consistent with the interior decoration style and color matching, harmonious. Because of the types of tiles, there are many colors, and the integrity should be considered when choosing, and you can't say that you like this color and choose it immediately, and the result is not matched with the interior decoration style, it is not good-looking.

Pick according to your consumption level:

The grade of ceramic tiles is divided into a lot, the gap between the high grade and the low grade is very large, of course, the higher the price, the higher the quality, the better the quality, environmental protection and pollution-free, but it depends on whether you have this consumption level, when you choose the same ** tile, then you need to shop around.

Master the necessary selection skills:

The general way to choose tiles is to see, hear, smell, measure, and try. Look at the main thing is to see the color of the tile uniformity, whether there is color difference, listen to the sound, knock on the tile, if the sound is crisp, pleasant to the ear indicates that the quality is high, and the quality is low; Smell is to smell the smell, you can sprinkle a little water, many inferior tiles have a smell of rotten eggs; Measure the diagonal line of the tile to see if it is square and regular; Test how the water absorption rate of the tile, if the water does not penetrate, the back of the tile into a water bead, indicating ***.

It's best to buy the quantity in place all at once:

When choosing tiles, it is best to choose the right tile size according to the size of your room, the room area is larger, such as the living room, generally use a large area of tiles, bathroom, kitchen with smaller size tiles, in the purchase of a one-time purchase of the number in place, it is best to come out of a pack, more than a dozen pieces, mainly worried about tile cracking, there is less to buy, and then when buying, it is easy to cause color difference, it is difficult to buy tiles of the same color.

Go to a regular tile store to buy, check the test report, etc.

The difference between the advantages and disadvantages of ceramic tiles is too large, so be sure to buy a regular tile sales place, if conditions permit, it is best to buy a well-known brand, quality, and more environmentally friendly, when choosing tiles, you can check the test report provided by the business, the test report to see if there is authority, the general test report has a CCC certification seal. This quality is relatively ***.

Pay attention to the merchant's after-sales service:

When choosing ceramic tiles, it is also necessary to understand the after-sales service of the business, such as the quality of the tile, the color difference, the crack, etc., not to think that it is caused, whether it can be replaced, etc., and the remaining ceramic tiles can be returned, etc., the regular manufacturers and the quality of the ceramic tile general after-sales service is also relatively good, can be exchanged and returned, and some will also provide workers for construction, to ensure the progress of the construction and the quality of the construction.

After the purchase of the new house, it enters the decoration stage. In decoration, one of the indispensable items is the purchase of decoration materials. And in the midst of manywall and floor tilesHave you been dazzled?

The selection of wall and floor tiles mainly depends on three points: price range, surface color, and paving method.

First, the price range. The low-end is less than 150 yuan (glazed bricks, full-body bricks, vitrified bricks), the middle end is less than 280 yuan (vitrified bricks, antique bricks, microcrystalline bricks), and the high-end is more than 280 yuan (imported microcrystalline bricks, domestic imitation imported new bricks, and new products just launched by domestic independent research and development).

Second, the surface color. Glazed wall tiles: a thin glazed layer can be seen on the side, which absorbs more water.

Full-body brick: after cutting or grinding the beveled edge, the side is the same color as the brick surface, which is suitable for processing skirting. Vitrified bricks:

Beautiful and non-slip. Full-body bricks: the color of the inside and outside is consistent, suitable for processing skirting.

Antique bricks: simple and natural. Full glaze:

Ice is clear and jade. Italian imported bricks: simple and natural, ingenious.

Antique floor tiles: a combination of gorgeous and natural.

3. The paving method of wall and floor tiles can be divided into two categories in terms of the water absorption rate of tiles.

Tiles with high water absorption are suitable for laying with cement sand plaster (because the tile adhesion comes from the grip formed by the cement slurry penetrating into the tile body and curing). Remarks: Pour some water on the back of the tile body and it will be quickly absorbed, which proves that the water absorption rate is large, the water absorption rate is small, or the tile does not absorb water at all, is due to the dense tile body.

If you use water and sand ash to pave the paste, it will not have the grip power, and it will naturally be hollow, fall off, and fall bricks. At this time, it is necessary to choose a tile adhesive, also known as tile adhesive to pave tiles more appropriately. Unlike wall tiles, floor tiles are usually more suitable for dry laying with cement and sand due to the downward gravity.

Fourth, the selection criteria of ceramic tiles.

1. Use the key chain to fall on the edge of the tile to observe whether the porcelain is broken, just imagine if you can't even tolerate this gadget, it's too brittle, and you can be too bothered in the future!

2. Check the consistency of the side length of the tile, method: "arbitrarily select three identical tiles" to compare the length difference and the height difference, align one end to observe the other end of the error as small as possible within 1mm, it is related to whether the tile is paved or not!

3. Check the flatness of the tile, method: randomly select two tiles of the same model to align the front, and observe the smaller the corresponding gaps at the four corners, the better, which is related to whether the tile is paved and whether the steps appear.

The above is the detailed answer about it, I don't know if you are satisfied with our introduction.

Ceramic wall and floor tiles can be used for some major projects, using a simple method of looking, listening, three, four, and five checks to check the quality of floor tiles. The relevant person in charge of Qijia** network said.

"One look" is to use visual inspection methods to check the surface quality of wall and floor tiles. Qualified wall and floor tiles should be free of cracking, interlayering, and surface damage. Observed from a distance of 1m from the bricks, good wall and floor tiles should not have obvious color difference, stripping, ripples, dirty, lack of glaze, knocks and glaze defects.

Second listening", this method can be used to roughly judge the strength and water absorption rate of wall and floor tiles. The method is to pinch the corner of the brick with your hand and lift it, gently tap the brick with a metal object, and listen to the sound of the discovery.

Generally speaking, bricks with crisp sound have high density, high strength, less water absorption, and better quality bricks; Bricks with dull sound have low density, low strength, large water absorption, and poor quality of bricks.

"Three quantities", that is, to check whether the geometric size error of the brick is within the specified range by the method of measuring with a ruler. For qualified wall and floor tiles, the plane size error should not be greater than, the diagonal error should not be greater, and the thickness error should not be greater than. During the inspection, random sampling should be carried out, that is, random sampling bricks should be taken in different packing boxes, and the number of sample bricks should be 10% of the total, and the minimum number should not be less than three.

Four ratios", the squareness and flatness of the bricks, can be checked by the method of ratio. Take two bricks at random and stick them face to face. If the fit is tight or the gap is not larger, it can be considered that the flatness of the brick is better.

Then turn the bricks 90 degrees relative to each other to see if the perimeter still coincides. The coincident bricks have a good squareness, otherwise they should measure the diagonal to see if they exceed the standard.

Five checks", for some items that cannot be checked on the spot, such as freeze-thaw and quenching and hot indicators, as well as the exact indicators of strength and water absorption, you can ask the merchant for the factory inspection report, and carefully check whether the "certificate and object" are consistent.

After the above five steps, I believe you will be able to buy qualified floor tiles. However, in the end, I would like to give you an intimate reminder, that is, the floor tiles purchased must be the same batch, and a slight margin should be left to prevent the appearance of color difference.

All I know is that balconies (of my own) should be made of light flooring, such as wood flooring or plastic panels.

Check the label.

The product packaging box should have the factory name, factory address, product name, after-sales service **, specifications, quantity, trademark, production date and the implementation of the standard, for porcelain tiles, need to check the CCC certification mark, interior design decoration of ceramic tiles, it is advisable to choose radionuclides that meet the requirements of class A products.

Take a closer look at the appearance. The glaze of the ceramic tile should be smooth and delicate, the glossy glaze should be crystal shiny, and the matte glaze should be soft and comfortable. Under sufficient natural light or fluorescent lighting, the brick should not be visible if viewed vertically at a distance of 1 meter, and no obvious glaze defects should be visible. The pattern of brick pattern should be delicate and realistic, and there should be no obvious defects such as lack of color, broken line, and dislocation.

The shading, trademark, etc. on the back of high-quality ceramic products are clear and complete, and there are few glaze marks or defects. Tile shopping.

Weigh the weight. Generally speaking, tiles of the same specification have low water absorption rate and good internal quality.

Stitching effect. Good tiles have a smaller dimensional deviation, and place a batch of products vertically on a flat surface to see if there is any unevenness. Look at the flatness again, you can put the edges of the two bricks close together to see if there are any gaps. The deformation of a good product is small, and the brick surface is smooth and beautiful after paving.

Look at the color difference of the product, take a few bricks and put them together, and look carefully in sufficient light. Tile.

Tile corners. When paving tiles, many consumers and workers have encountered the problem that the corners are difficult to align, which shows that the straightness of the tiles may not be too good, when selecting tiles, randomly select a few pieces, look at the edges and diagonals of the tiles with their eyes, if they find that there is a "warped edge" phenomenon, it means that the straightness of the tiles is not enough, if not, it means that the straightness of the tiles is basically passed, which is also a trick to buy tiles.

Tap to listen. Gently tap the tile and listen to its sound, a better quality product will sound crisp and pleasant. Poor quality products due to improper raw material formulation, short firing cycle, low firing temperature, and "empty" sound when tapping.

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.

The brand doesn't matter (of course, the brand in Guangdong is better, and the quality is better in all aspects) First of all, floor tiles can be used for wall tiles, and wall tiles cannot be used for floor tiles! If you think it's suitable, you can buy some floor tiles to cut, open two, and make wall tiles! That's much better than choosing regular wall tiles!

It's a lot pretty, and there's a lot of variety!

There are polished tiles, antique tiles, matte tiles, you look at a few more, there will be insights! ~
