So porcelain tiles or ceramic tiles for bathroom wall tiles, which is better? In fact, porcelain tiles and tiles have their own advantages and disadvantages.

1. Porcelain tiles for bathroom wall tiles.

Generally speaking, the power required for the pasting of the porcelain tile of the bathroom wall tile is relatively small, that is to say, it is easy to paste, the base surface is high, and the construction operation is relatively simple, which is mainly due to the ultra-thin performance of the porcelain tile itself. At the same time, the color and shape of the porcelain tile are more diverse, and you can choose freely to play the design. In the process of toilet construction, the way of modeling the wall is very beautiful.

However, the scope of porcelain tile use has great limitations, which is not suitable for the professional use of a large area of the wall, and the solidity is not high in the process of connecting with the wall. If the bathroom wall tiles are made of porcelain tiles, try to use them together with the same series of floors and wall tiles, and the porcelain tiles will play a better role in decorative modeling.

2. Bathroom wall tiles with tiles.

Compared with the porcelain tiles used for bathroom wall tiles, there are more materials for ceramic tiles, and the decoration effect is also different, mainly including polished tiles, antique tiles, and vitrified tiles. Among them, the function of antique bricks and porcelain tiles is basically the same, and the meaning of antique is that the visual effect presented on the surface is more cultural and easy to clean. The surface of the polished tile has been sanded and polished, so that the surface is bright, and it is relatively hard and wear-resistant, which is suitable for use in most places except for bathrooms and kitchens.

Among all the types of ceramic tiles, it can be said that the vitrified tile is the most hard, the process requirements are high, the density and temperature are all porcelain requirements when making, and it is a strengthened version of the polished tile, although the surface is not deliberately polished, but it is still very bright and more resistant to dirt.

The above is the comparison of porcelain tiles and tiles for bathroom wall tiles, most families are more commonly used in ceramic tiles, and porcelain tiles can be used together.

Bathroom wall tiles can be used porcelain tiles or tiles, each with its own advantages, it is recommended to choose according to the actual situation.

First, the advantages of ceramic tiles.

The water absorption rate of ceramic tiles is low, and the elongation rate after heating is also low, so the hardness is high, the density is high, and the wall surface of the wet bathroom is not easy to break, has good stain resistance, and is more wear-resistant.

Second, the advantages of porcelain tiles.

The color pattern of the porcelain tile is rich, the decorative effect is good, the specifications are many, and they are generally finished products, which do not need to be processed separately, and are easy to clean.

Summary: Ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles have their own characteristics, there is no advantage or disadvantage, and the purchase can be decided according to actual needs, budget, and personal preferences.

The difference between wall and floor tiles.

1) The material is different.

Many owners will think that wall tiles and floor tiles belong to the same ceramic tiles, and they will also think that the texture of the two should be the same. In fact, this is a very incorrect perception. Wall tiles are ceramic products, and floor tiles are usually porcelain products, and the two are different from raw materials to firing processes.

2) The water absorption rate is different.

The texture of the two is different, and their water absorption rate is of course also different. Wall tiles have a much higher water absorption rate than floor tiles. The water absorption rate of wall tiles is higher, and the back of the tiles will be rougher, so that the wall tiles can also be better attached to the wall.

Moreover, we will often mop the floor in our lives, and it is better for the floor tiles to have a lower water absorption rate.

3) The laying sequence is different.

The order of paving wall tiles and floor tiles is also particular. Wall tiles are generally paved from the bottom up, and for aesthetic reasons, the bottom layer of wall tiles is paved last.

The paving order of floor tiles is from the inside to the outside, and if there are any uneven places or parts with floor drains, it is necessary to find the slope along the direction of drainage.

Fourth, wall and floor tiles can not be mixed.

Try not to mix floor tiles and wall tiles, if you mix them casually, the floor tiles are easy to collapse when they are attached to the wall, and the wall tiles are also difficult to take care of on the ground and easy to get dirty.

It depends on your personal preferences. You can stick the same kind of bricks all over, but in general, the tiles on the bathroom floor should be slippery and dirt-resistant, and the tiles on the walls should be smooth.
