From the original stone and wood board dominating the world, to the modernization of ceramic tiles, and the intervention of various glass and plastic materials, the entire home improvement world has become extremely rich and colorful.

 

Glazed tiles: The tiles are made of pottery clay or porcelain clay and fired with glaze.

Whole body brick: This kind of brick is not glazed, and the surface is polished after firing, with patterns on the inside and outside.

Vitrified tiles: Porcelain tiles fired at high temperature with high hardness.

Polished tiles: whole body tiles are polished, thin, light and hard.

Abrasion resistance: divided into five degrees, from low to high, five degrees are super abrasion resistance, generally not used for home decoration, home decoration bricks can be selected from one to four degrees.

Water absorption rate: determines the use of tiles. Tiles with high water absorption rate have low density and sparse brick holes. They should not be used in places with frequent activities, so as not to be difficult to clean after absorbing water and scale; tiles with low water absorption rate have high density and high The ability to resist moisture and dirt.

Hardness: It directly affects the service life of the ceramic tile, which is especially important. You can use the method of tapping to listen to the sound. The crisp sound indicates that the internal quality is good, and it is not easy to deform and break. Color difference size: According to intuitive judgment, check whether the colors of a batch of tiles are roughly the same and whether they can be put together well. Small color difference and regular size are top grade.

 

　　How to choose a ceramic tile (the process of choosing a ceramic tile): 1. Take out one piece from the packing box to see if the surface is smooth and intact. The glaze should be even, bright, free of spots, lack of glaze, bumps, and regular edges. If the glaze is not shiny, astringent, or has bubbles, it is a quality problem. 2. Take out another piece of brick and align the two pieces with the smaller the gap in the middle, the better. If it is a patterned brick, it takes four pieces to put together a complete pattern. It should also be optimistic whether the patterns of the bricks are connected and clear. Then take out a box of bricks and place them flat on a large flat surface. View the whole effect from a distance. Regardless of white, other colors or patterns, the color should be the same. If there are individual bricks that are darker or lighter, it will be hard to see. , Affect the whole decoration effect. 3. Put these bricks up one by one, and compare whether the size of the bricks is the same. The deviation of small bricks is allowed to be plus or minus 1 mm, and the deviation of large bricks is allowed to be plus or minus 2 mm. 4. Take a brick to knock another, or use another hard object to knock a brick. If the sound of the brick is crisp and loud, it means that the brick is of good quality and cooked; if the sound is abnormal, it means that there is heavy leather or cracks in the brick. Phenomenon: Heavy leather means that when the brick is formed, the air in the material is not discharged, resulting in poor bonding between the material and the material, internal cracks, which cannot be seen from the surface, and can only be identified by listening to the sound.
