The first step: see the classification clearly Buying tiles cannot rely on "love at first sight" because judging only from the aesthetic level is often a joy. The most appropriate method is to first determine the space used by the tile, that is, the function: Is the tile you bought used in the kitchen, bathroom or living room? Determine the most basic conditions before choosing. Classification of tiles: Glazed tile: refers to the tiles that have been fired on the surface of the bricks after being glazed. This kind of brick is divided into two categories: First, clay is burned. Because of the higher water absorption rate, glaze must be burned, so it should be called “tileâ€. The strength of this brick is relatively low. Nowadays, it is rare to use another kind of porcelain clay for baking. In order to pursue decorative effects, it also burns glaze. This type of tile has a compact structure, high strength, low water absorption, and strong stain resistance. Floor decoration material for the living room. In glazed tiles, polished glazed tiles have a higher grade. Whole body brick: Whole body bricks have patterns on the surface or inside. This kind of brick is not glazed, and the surface is ground after firing. It has very good slip resistance and wear resistance, which is generally called “non-slip floor tilesâ€. Whole bricks are moderately priced and are ideally suited for use in kitchens, toilets and other water environments. Polished tiles: polished tiles become polished tiles. This brick is high in hardness and very wear-resistant. In recent years, the osmotic polished tiles developed have penetrated the natural color pigments into the shallow layers of the tiles. After being burned and polished, they have the decorative effect of natural stone, and the price is easily accepted. The thickness is thin and the weight is light. Vitrified tiles: This is a high-temperature fired porcelain tile, which is the hardest of all tiles. It is not easy to leave scratches on the surface. However, the price of such bricks is high and it is mainly used for decoration. In addition to understanding the classification of tiles, but also consider the use of tiles, such as the kitchen should avoid tiles with more bumps, otherwise it will cause trouble for the future of cleaning and bathroom tiles are the best choice non-slip floor tiles. The second step: carefully select functions Durability: The second step in buying a tile is to determine whether the tile meets your requirements based on some technical indicators. Among the many standards, the degree of matching (also known as the abrasion resistance) is an important criterion for judging the degree of wear of the tile, which can generally be divided into five degrees: Degree I: This grade of tile has the lowest wear resistance and is generally used for display, walls, and activities. II degree: This grade of tile is more wear resistant than the I degree tile, and is mainly used in bathrooms, bedrooms and other environments where there is no hard friction. III degree: For places where the flow of people is large, it is better to use ceramic tiles above III degree, such as living room, kitchen and so on. IV degree: This grade of tile can be described with high abrasion resistance. Ideal for use in halls, corridors and public areas of luxury homes. The division of V degrees: V degrees does not have a clear concept. However, theoretically speaking, it has super wear resistance and is generally used in non-domestic environments such as airports and stations. Water absorption: Water absorption also determines the use of tiles. Tiles with high water absorption generally have small pores and low density, whereas tiles with low water absorption generally have higher densities. The water absorption rate of the wall surface and the ground are different, and the water absorption rate required by each family space is also different. For example, in the living room, tiles with lower water absorption are selected, because frequent activities may cause frequent fouling, and loose brick holes can easily absorb water and dirt, thus causing blemishes and inconvenient cleaning marks. The method of determining the rate of water absorption is simple. Just drop a drop of water on the back of the sample tile to see if it can absorb quickly. If absorbed faster, the water absorption is higher. Tiles on the wall can use higher water absorption, and the ground should choose low water absorption. Especially in the bathroom environment, the lower water absorption also ensures that the tiles do not over-expand and deform. hardness: The top grade in the tile is generally high in hardness, toughness, and not easily broken. The intrinsic quality of the tile can be checked by tapping on the tile at the time of purchase. Take two pieces of tile tapping, if the sound of the brick is crisp, with a little metal sound shows that his inner quality is good, high hardness if the hoarse voice, the brick may be hidden inside the crack. High hardness tiles do not easily crack and deform after being laid for a long time. In addition, ask the sales person about the resistance of the tiles to the pH and chemical properties of the tiles at the time of purchase. Improper cleaning may cause the glaze to be contaminated. >>> Related Links: Tiles Creative Personality The third step: locking style and popularity After the quality and function are guaranteed, let's take a look at the beautiful coat of tiles. In addition to determining the overall decoration style of the tiles, the application of colors to the environment and fashion trends should also be considered. But remember not to take a look, fashion is also different from person to person. Yang Zi Tips Tile quality intuitive judgment 1. Take out a few tiles from the carton and check their color difference. At the same time, ensure that the color of each tile is generally the same. Otherwise, the color difference of the tiles may affect the overall decorative effect when spreading a large area. 2. Observe whether the brick surface has obvious pinholes, bubbles, cracks, scratches and notches within one meter of the naked eye, and whether the mirror effect is strong or not. 3, randomly take out a few tiles, according to the diagonal on the ground, to see if the corners can be better together together, with or without bumps, bumps, Qiaojiao and other defects. Then set up the tile vertically. If the deviation of the edge is too large, it is an unqualified product (the general size error should be less than 0.5 mm and the flatness less than 0.1 mm). 4. To check the degree of compactness, you only need to hold the bricks in your hand and you will know what you think. Feel heavy is the higher density, better quality.
