Tiles are the main materials that we must use when decorating our houses, including floor tiles, wall tiles, door stones, waist lines, and tiles are also used as skirting lines, etc. Ceramic tiles are very useful, but for some decoration novices, seeing the wide variety of ceramic tiles on the market is a headache, so this article will talk about how to choose ceramic tiles?
Ceramic tiles can be divided into southern tiles and northern tiles according to their origin. The southern tiles are produced in Foshan, Guangdong. The main material is fired red clay. Due to the greater precipitation in the south, the density of the soil is relatively high, so The fired bricks are denser and harder. The northern bricks are from Zibo, Shandong, and are mainly fired with loess or sand. Due to the essential difference in materials, the northern bricks are not as hard as the southern bricks. Due to the density of the material, southern bricks are not easy to seep, and there is no fishy smell when mopping the floor. Therefore, southern bricks are better for ceramic tiles.
Commonly used ceramic tiles can be divided into polished tiles and glazed tiles according to the firing process:
What are polished tiles? Polished tiles refer to the polished surface of the full-body brick body. A kind of bright brick with smooth surface, hard and wear-resistant, but single color, usually pure plain color. Mostly used in balconies, exterior wall decoration, living rooms and other areas. However, the surface of polished tiles will form pores of different sizes, which can easily trap dirt in the future. Water can easily penetrate into the tile surface when mopping the floor, and its anti-fouling ability is weak. Of course, polished tiles are generally used for workwear. Due to the large flow of people, more wear-resistant polished tiles should be used.
What are glazed tiles? Polished glazed tiles are a new technology tile that can be polished on the glaze surface. The surface is smooth and shiny, the colors are gorgeous and rich, and the manufacturing process is relatively complex. Glazed tiles add a layer of glaze to the surface of polished tiles, which has better transparency and brightness, but its wear resistance is lower than polished tiles. Because the crystals on the surface of polished tiles are very thick and relatively wear-resistant, the surface of glazed tiles is layered with glaze, and their wear resistance is also much inferior. The anti-fouling properties of glazed tiles are relatively good, and they are easy to take care of on a daily basis, and stains are easy to clean. Due to the complex process, glazed tiles are more expensive than polished tiles, but the decoration effect is better than polished tiles.
If you have financial conditions, you can choose glazed tiles. After all, glazed tiles are generally more suitable for home decoration than polished tiles and can highlight the effect better.
Of course, there are vitrified tiles, microcrystalline stone antique tiles, etc. These types are not as commonly used as polished tiles and glazed tiles, so I won’t go into details.
In addition, there are some tips when choosing to turn, let’s talk about them below:
1. When choosing ceramic tiles, you must first observe that the surface of a good ceramic tile is very smooth, without protrusions or Not flat, no uneven corners.
2. The glaze surface is relatively smooth, and there are no differences in color depth except for special colors. At the same time, the pattern of good ceramic tiles is relatively delicate, and there is no phenomenon of misalignment or color leakage.
3. Another common method is to listen to the sound of tapping the tiles, put the sharp corners on the ground, hold the corner of the tiles with one hand, and then tap the tiles with the other hand. If the sound is relatively If the sound is dull, it means that the tile is not good. If the sound is crisp, it means that the quality of the tile is better.
4. Look at the cross-section of the tile. There are usually broken tiles in the store. If the cross-section is smooth and relatively fine, it means the tile is good. If there are small holes or unevenness, If it feels bad, it means the tile is not good.
