When decorating a new home, what is the difference between slate and tile?

When decorating, everyone's choice of home materials and decoration materials are different, many people choose rock slabs when installing floors.

Some people choose tiles. The difference between rock slabs and tiles is still very big, the raw materials of the two are different, the scope of use is different, and the production process is also different, and there are great differences in forage and technology. Today, I will tell you what is the difference between rock slabs and tiles when decorating a new home?

First, the raw materials are different

Rock slab can be regarded as a relatively new material, which belongs to slab.

The category of raw materials, petroleum, quartz, granite and clay are mixed into a new type of scientific and technological material. To a certain extent, it is a new building materials product, India is more than granite, better than the hardness of ceramic tiles, and more refractory roasting, is a material made of grinding, mixing, pressing and firing. And the tiles are made of clay and quartz sand.

It is a porcelain or stone material that is resistant to acid and alkali. <>

Second, the scope of use is different

The use of rock slabs is relatively wide, it can be used as a floor, and other home decoration can also be, and it is very realistic, similar to the texture of marble, the original can be used as a kitchen countertop, it doesn't matter if you cut vegetables or chop some things directly on it. Ceramic tiles can generally only be used for wall decoration or floor decoration, and there are not many other uses. <>

Third, the production process is different

Rock slabs and tiles are not the same in the process of making, rock slabs are mixed with natural materials, made by a special process, which is refined by a high temperature of more than 1200 degrees, and then pressed by a press, so it is relatively hard, and the performance of ceramic tiles is very different, and it can also be deeply processed. Whereas, ceramic tiles are mostly made of very refractory metal oxides.

It is made by grinding, mixing, pressing, and then glaze and firing, and although it is also very strong, it is still slightly inferior to the original.

The specific difference is that the raw materials produced are not the same, the raw materials of the rock slab are stones, which are very light, and particularly large, with stronger hardness, refractory and high temperature resistance, antibacterial and anti-fouling, zero water absorption, zero penetration, and better practicability.

The raw materials for production are different, the raw materials of rock slabs are stones, and the tiles are ordinary porcelain tiles. The performance is not the same, the rock slab is fire-resistant to high temperature, the hardness is higher, antibacterial and anti-fouling, zero water absorption, zero penetration. However, the permeability of the tile is not very good, the surface of the tile is generally polished, and the surface of the rock slab is generally treated with high-temperature inkjet, using the whole body technology.

The rock slab is made of quartz clay, which is a high-tech material, and the tile is made of quartz sand and clay. The rock slab has the characteristics of wear-resistant and scratch-resistant, and the tiles are smooth and tidy.

The production process is different, the life of the floor tiles is different, the effect is different, the raw materials are different, and the range of use is different.

1. Ingredients.

The main components of rock slabs are natural stone powder, clay, etc. The composition of ceramic tiles varies from one type to another, and the main components are metal oxides, semi-metal oxides, quartz sand, clay, etc.

2. Production environment.

The rock slab is fired by a press of 10,000 tons (more than 10,000 tons) and a high temperature of more than 1,200 degrees Celsius. The tonnage of the tile press is usually between 200-7200 tons, and the firing temperature is within 1000 degrees Celsius. The difference in pressure and temperature is the main reason for the difference in the performance of rock slabs and tiles.

3. Appearance. The rock slabs are mainly large sizes, and the thickness is usually 3-20mm; The texture is mainly imitation natural stone; The green body is consistent with the surface color to form a whole body. The size of the tile is relatively small, and the thickness is usually 9-12mm; The texture is relatively rich, imitating stone grain, wood grain, metal grain and other personalized textures; The green body of the tile and the surface usually do not form a full body.

4. Performance. The performance of rock slab is comprehensive and excellent, waterproof, fireproof, high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, anti-seepage and staining, wear-resistant, scratch-resistant, impact-resistant, can be in contact with food, no radiation, environmental protection can be 100%**, durable and does not fade. The performance of ceramic tiles also varies according to the type, but in comparison, the performance of ceramic tiles is far less comprehensive and excellent than that of rock slabs.

5. Application. Due to its strong performance and plasticity, rock slabs can be deeply processed, which can be used as decorative materials and structural main materials, and are widely used in countertops, desktops, walls, floors, facades and other fields. The application range of ceramic tiles is relatively narrow, mainly used for ordinary walls and floors, and plays a decorative role.

Generally speaking, although rock slabs and ceramic tiles belong to the same ceramic category, due to the difference in production environment and technology, their performance is different, and their market value is also different.

Ceramic tile has become one of the most important materials for Chinese decoration, and rock slab is still an emerging material, and it has only been a few years since it spread from Europe to China. Judging from the current market trend, rock slabs are increasingly favored by consumers, designers and home customization manufacturers, and are in a stage of rapid rise.

There are several differences between rock slabs and tiles:

The raw materials are different.

The raw materials of rock slabs are inorganic clay, natural stone powder, etc.; The raw materials of ceramic tiles are mostly clay, quartz sand, metal oxides and semi-metal oxides;

The size and specification are different (the appearance and color are different).

The size of the rock slab is larger, which can be 750x1500mm, 900x2600mm, etc.; The size and specifications of ceramic tiles are much smaller than rock slabs, usually 400mm 400mm, 600mm 600mm, 900 900mm, 600 1200mm, etc. (Modified).

Performance is different. The performance of rock slabs is very superior, with the characteristics of fire resistance, high temperature resistance, hard wear resistance, anti-seepage and acid and alkali resistance, environmental protection and zero formaldehyde, in contrast, the performance of ceramic tiles is far less than that of rock slabs.

Personally, I feel that the whole body of marble tiles is better, because of the whole body of marble tiles, its texture is particularly clear, that is also particularly beautiful, special and natural, because it is a natural formation, the original version is also very good, but I don't like it.

1. Comparison of wear resistance. The all-over marble is very wear-resistant. Whereas, marble has good wear resistance.

2. Decoration and processing. The whole body of marble is easy to process with good decoration effect. Marble, on the other hand, is more than hard and less elastic.

3. The degree of proximity to stone is different. 1. The hardness of the whole body marble porcelain is four to five grades, and the surface glaze protection is very high. The wear resistance of marble is good, not easy to age, and its service life is generally about 50-80 years.

2. Decoration processing of whole body marble, is the decoration effect is good and easy to process, made of top materials and advanced equipment, the pattern is relatively rich, and the decoration can produce a good effect. The marble is more than hard, the elasticity is insufficient, and the countertop cannot be made more than 1 meter, and it is easy to break when heated or hit, and it is difficult to repair, and the shape is not easy to process and smooth.

The rock slab is made of natural raw materials through ultra-high temperature and high pressure, and the texture is hard and not easy to scratch. Ceramic tiles are made by ordinary manufacturing processes, which are easy to break and easy to scratch.

Rock slab is a product obtained after natural rock processing, and ceramic tiles are fired from porcelain clay, and the use of the two depends on the specific application environment, and there is no particularly good situation.

The difference between tile and slate is as follows:

1. The shading of the ceramic tile is very deep and obvious, while the shading of the rock slab is very fine or even none.

2. The bottom surface of the rock slab is a color, that is, the whole body, while the tile bottom blank and the surface color are two colors, and the color difference is obvious.

3. For the same area of slabs, the quality of rock slabs is lighter and thinner, the mass is less than one-third of that of ceramic tiles, and the rock slabs are easier to install and transport.

4. The rock slab is made after 72 hours of firing at a high temperature of 1200 degrees, and it will not change color and smoke when encountering high temperature, but the tiles will turn black after being burned.

The rock slabs are similar to ceramic tiles in composition, mainly composed of inorganic oxides such as natural clay, silica and feldspar powder. But the rock slab does not contain glaze, and the luster of the rock brick is created by machine polishing. Rock bricks are large slabs, not bricks of gauge plates.

Rock slabsThe differences with tiles are as follows:

1. The appearance is different.

The embryonic bottom of the tile slab is directly polished, if you carefully inspect it from the side of the ceramic slab, it can generally be seen that the brick surface and the embryo bottom are not integrated, and there will be a more obvious layering. The rock slab is generally made of natural stone as raw material, through a special process, and then pressed with the help of a press of more than 10,000 tons, so the rock slab as a whole looks like a whole body, and there is no layering.

2. The feel is different.

The surface of the tile slab is generally smooth, while the surface of the rock slab generally gives people a fine grain, but it will not feel prickly to the touch, but will give people a texture, as if touching the father's hand.

3. The performance is different.

Rock slab belongs to a new type of material, and its Mohs hardness.

It generally exceeds six degrees, even if it encounters two thousand degrees Celsius.

The open flame will not produce any physical changes, such as: shrinkage, cracking, discoloration, etc., and will not emit gas or odor, in addition to strong anti-fouling ability and impact resistance, so it is widely used in the production of dining tables, coffee tables, bathroom cabinets and so on. The stain resistance and impact resistance of the tile slab will be poor, and it can not stay in the damp bathroom for a long time, so it is widely used to make an artistic background wall with ornamental value.

4. **Different.

In the case of the same specifications, the ceramic tile slabs on the market will be cheaper, and the rock slabs will be about twice as expensive as the ceramic tile slabs.

The difference between rock slabs and tiles is as follows:

1.The raw materials are different.

Rock slabs are made of natural raw materials such as natural stone powder and feldszite, while ceramic tiles are made of a mixture of refractory metal oxides, semi-metal oxides, quartz sand, clay, etc., in contrast, the composition of rock slabs is more natural and has better environmental performance.

2.The production process is different.

The rock slab is pressed with the help of a press of more than 10,000 tons, combined with advanced production technology, and fired at a high temperature of more than 1200; Ceramic tiles are grinding, mixing, pressing, glazing, and sintering.

1. Different raw materials: The raw materials of rock slabs are mixed with quartz, granite and clay, which are new materials of high-tech achievements and belong to a new category of building materials to a certain extent. The raw materials of ceramic tiles are mostly mixed with clay and quartz sand, and are formed by grinding, mixing, pressing, glazing and sintering.

2. Different application ranges: the use of rock slabs is wide, the overall decoration effect is strong, and the realistic marble texture is used, whether it is the use of large space or home decoration, the visual effect highlights the atmosphere, and the space grade is improved. It can also be used as a countertop decoration material in the kitchen and bathroom space.

And that's not something that tiles can do.

3. The development process is different: ceramic tiles are made of refractory metal oxides and semi-metal oxides, through the process of grinding, mixing, pressing, glazing and sintering. Rock slabs are made of natural raw materials through special technology, pressed with the help of more than 10,000 tons of presses, combined with advanced production technology, and fired at a high temperature of more than 1,200 meters.

Rock slabs and tiles have their own advantages, it is recommended that you choose according to your personal preferences, needs and budget, and it is more important to suit yourself.

Advantages of rock slabs.

1.Ultra-thin and ultra-light. The rock slab is thinner, only 1 3 of the traditional tile, the rock slab is lighter, even less than the 1 3 of the traditional tile, the average weight of the traditional tile is 23-27kg, and the average weight of the ultra-thin rock slab is only 7kg, which is easy to transport and install.

2.Excellent physical properties. The hardness of the rock slab is as high as 6 on the Mohs scale, and the ultra-high hardness can be scraped on the surface of the rock slab with iron nails or knife edges at will, and no traces will be left; Fireproof and high temperature resistant, made by firing at a high temperature of 1200 degrees for 72 hours, it will not change color, smoke, or release harmful substances when burned at high temperatures, and will not fade due to fire retardant and flame retardant.

3.Zero penetration, easy to clean. The ultra-high density of the rock slab makes the stains impermeable, so there is no need to worry about surface cleaning.

Ask how you can tell the difference between a rock slab and a tile slab.

There are many styles of ceramic tiles, bright colors, there is more room to choose from, no matter what kind of style can be expressed with ceramic tiles, it also has a waterproof effect, and has excellent anti-corrosion effect on acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid and alkali at room temperature.

Okay, wait a minute.

Material, rock slab has the properties of natural rock, and ceramics are made of feldspar, quartz, talc, kaolin and other raw materials.

Question: There is a fine texture on the back of my house, there is a layer of porcelain on the front, and there is obvious porcelain at the eye, whether it is a rock slab or a large slab of tile.

Hello, the top layer is smooth to the touch, or grainy.
