The home decoration budget is medium, how to choose tiles?

First of all. There is a precondition, what is a mid-range decoration?

Let's first learn about the difference between basic decoration, mid-range decoration and high-end decoration:

Basic decoration: the walls are whitewashed, the toilet has a basic sink, a toilet, an active basic sink in the kitchen, and basic appliances such as a TV. Decoration ** 100-500 yuan square meters.

Mid-range decoration: 100 floors or tiles and marble, walls painted with white wax, suspended ceilings, toilets and other good bathroom equipment. Equipped with TV, air conditioner, range hood, refrigerator and other multi-point electrical appliances. Decoration ** 500-800 yuan square meters.

High-end decoration: It looks very delicate decoration, luxury house configuration, and high-end model house is basically high-end decoration. Decoration ** more than 1000 yuan per square meter.

Secondly. Mid-range decoration tile selection:

The definition of grade is actually the material square surface, decoration has budget restrictions, so in the mid-range decoration of the selection of tiles, we must choose the material products that can complete the decoration within the budget.

Decoration of ceramic tiles are more than polished bricks and antique bricks, polished bricks are a kind of bright bricks made of polished surface, antique bricks are imported from abroad, in the firing process of the technical content requirements are relatively high, the process is more complex, so the antique bricks are relatively more expensive than the polished bricks.

The budget for mid-range decoration of home decoration is limited, so it is not recommended to choose antique tiles in the choice of tiles.

Ceramic tiles are about 40 yuan, and one square meter of all-porcelain is already very good, and hundreds of thousands are IQ taxes.

The choice of ceramic tiles is recommended to choose the brand according to their budget, so that they can save time and save trouble The budget is limited It is recommended to choose a cost-effective brand, to buy a good product, but also to be suitable, that is, the cost performance must be high, I recommend going to some mid-range brands to see it, my home bought Foshan Thompson tiles, the cost performance is super high, it is the brand of the three major groups of Shuncheng enterprises, ***, **medium, the reputation of the tiles is very good, and the store can also give the design.

1. Look at the appearance of the tiles.

The surface of the tile should be free of cracks, peeling, damage, mutilation or adhesion with impurities, etc., in addition, the surface has unevenness, bulge, warping and other defects of the tile is also not good, so, the first step of the tile purchase strategy is to look at the appearance of the tile, the first tile should be straight on the side of the flat, the pattern pattern color is clear, there is no obvious color leakage, dislocation, broken lines or different shades.

2. Look at the hardness and density of the tile.

The second step of the tile purchase strategy is to check the hardness and density of the tile, how to detect it? You can drop water on the surface of the tile, see the speed of infiltration after the water is dispersed, the slower the water absorption, the higher the density of the tile, on the contrary, the faster the water absorption, the looser the tile, to choose the density of the tile is the best.

3. Look at the reflectivity of the tiles.

When purchasing ceramic tiles, you can observe the color and flatness of the tile surface by the naked eye, the clearer the color of the tile, the more reflective the tile indicates that the quality is good, in addition, you can also observe whether there is a pinhole on the surface of the tile through the reflective effect, if there is a pinhole on the surface of the tile, it means that it is easy to accumulate stolen goods in home life, and it is best not to buy this kind of tile.

4. Determine the specifications of the tiles.

It is also very important to determine the specifications of the tiles, first of all, to judge the space used by the tiles, the living room, the kitchen, the bedroom or the bathroom, because the specifications and functions of the tiles used in each space are different, especially the tiles used in the living room; Secondly, keep in mind a principle: the larger the room area, the specifications of the tile can be selected to a large size, the use of large tiles can not only reduce the gap on the ground, but also beautiful and durable, the overall paving, decoration budget can also save a lot of expenses.

5. Listen to the sound and see the anti-pollution ability.

Hitting the tile with your hand, the tile that makes a crisp sound indicates that the higher the porcelain density inside it, the better the quality; To see the stain resistance of the ceramic tile glaze, you can drop some ink on the surface of the tile, and after two minutes, wipe the ink on the surface with a damp cloth, and then you can see whether there is still ink on the surface of the tile.

6. Tips for buying tiles to save money.

Owners who have been to the decoration market for ceramic tile purchase will definitely find a phenomenon: sometimes expensive tiles and cheap tiles, may only be the difference in style, many tiles of the same brand and the same specifications, the new style and the original old style will be several times different; In the face of this situation, you can choose the best and old style tiles when your decoration budget is not sufficient; Of course, if you have a relatively generous decoration budget, you can also pursue the trend and choose the latest style of tiles.

The purchase of ceramic tiles should also have a certain pertinence, such as the floor tiles of the kitchen and bathroom, which need to focus on the selection of good anti-slip, so as to effectively avoid the phenomenon of family members accidentally slipping in daily life; On the other hand, kitchen wall tiles are not recommended to have too many textured tiles, but also to see its anti-fouling ability, which is more conducive to care; The tiles used in the living room need to meet the requirements of high hardness, wear resistance, durability and beauty.

There are many types of tiles, different types of clump type of ceramic tiles have different characteristics, we should choose the right type of tile according to the laying occasion of the tile, for example, the living room should choose a good wear resistance, good decorative effect of the tile, the bathroom to choose a good anti-slip effect, easy to clean ceramic tiles and so on.

When choosing tiles, we can use a ruler to measure the size of the tile is not an error, usually the size error of the tile is about 1-2 mm is normal, we are spliced together in the tiles, check whether the tile joints are flat, we can also use tools to measure the flatness of the tile.

Everyone taps the tiles with their hands, and the porcelain tiles have good density, and the sound they make is crisp. We write on the tile and then wipe it clean, if the dirt can not be wiped off, it means that its stain resistance seepage reed can not be good. Everyone should carefully check whether the texture of the tile is natural and clear, and whether there are defects such as pinholes.

Tiles can not be directly paved on the ground, we must carry out ground leveling before paving tiles, uneven ground will lead to uneven tiles. Ceramic tiles have a certain degree of water absorption, in order to prevent the tiles from absorbing water from the cement mortar, we should first soak the tiles in water for a while. When laying tiles, we also need to use tools such as rubber hammers to knock the tiles off, and try not to lay the tiles seamlessly, so as to avoid problems such as hollowing and warping of the tiles.

Look at the embryo body to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of the tile embryo body The darker the color and the greater the granularity, the worse the quality of the tile. On the contrary, the embryonic body particles are delicate and the color is lighter, indicating that the firing raw materials used are better and the quality is naturally higher.

Test the levelness of the tile Feel free to take four tiles of the same model and lay them on the flat ground, if there are uneven conditions between the four tiles, it proves that this tile is an inferior product, and you need to be cautious before buying.

Contrast the anti-seepage effect of the tile Use water drops on the back of the tile to see the diffusion of stagnant water. The stagnant water did not spread rapidly, indicating that the anti-seepage effect of the tiles is good, the density is high, and the quality is better.

Of course, when my house was renovated, my husband and I also chose it for a long time. Later, we chose Aurora tiles, which are quite good, very good to use, beautiful style, and the reputation of this brand is also good. You can take a look at the ceramics of this brand.

Nowadays, all over the world, automated production technology is used, and human hands are only used to operate equipment. As in the past, ceramic tiles are used for decoration both indoors and outdoors.
