When selecting floor tiles, you can compare the following indicators: water absorption, wear resistance, acid resistance and pollution indicators to distinguish the quality of tiles.
The choice of glazed tiles mainly depends on the treatment of ceramic tires and glazed surfaces. Ceramic tires shall be standard in size, flat in periphery and uniform in thickness, and the difference between the thickness and size of ceramic tiles of the same specification shall not exceed 2mm. The quality of glaze is more critical. First of all, enamel should be thick and smooth; Secondly, the glaze color difference should be as small as possible. Toilets and bathrooms are suitable for laying small-sized tiles.
Internationally renowned brands: Bee, Nobel, Diamond, Eagle, Asia.
Domestic famous brands: Guanzhu, samit and Golden Rudder.
Indoor floor tiles are:
Vitrified tiles, polished tiles, inferior smooth brick, glazed tiles, printed tiles, non-slip tiles, and special acid-resistant floor tiles (used in laboratories and other corrosive floors).
Outdoor floor tiles include: square tiles and lawn tiles.
Family:
All-ceramic mirror polished floor tile (the surface of polished tile is coated with a layer of antifouling agent and filled with pores, which ensures that it is not easy to be polluted, wear-resistant, easy to scrub, and has high density. After paving, the overall effect is as bright as a mirror, but the high brightness has a slight impact on people's vision, and the antifouling effect is worse than that of glazed tile. The service life is about 8 years, which is not suitable for the living environment of the elderly). Commonly used 800*800 is suitable for living room floor paving. The price of medium quality is generally around 50-60 yuan.
Printed infiltrated floor tiles (service life is about 7 years, scratches will appear) are usually 800*800, which is suitable for living room floor paving. The price of medium quality is generally around 30-40 yuan.
Matte floor tiles (economical but with low surface strength, low density and easy to leave stains, etc.) are commonly used. The price of 600*600 medium quality tiles is generally within 10 yuan.
Non-slip floor tiles (for toilet use) are generally 500*500. The price of medium quality is generally within a piece of 5 yuan.
Taking 800*800 as an example, domestic high-grade floor tile brands are generally dominated by Taiwan-funded products:
Nobel Prize, Champion, Asia, etc.
About 150/ film file is mainly in Foshan, Guangdong:
Dong Peng, New Central Plains, Eagle Brand, Mona Lisa, etc.
About 80/piece, mainly in Shandong and Chaozhou.
Xintiandi, etc
Low-end products around 50/block abound.
There are many brands around 20~30, but just remember the place of origin mentioned above.
I won't recommend a brand to you, just teach you how to choose bricks.
Ceramics with water absorption less than 0.5% are called vitrified tiles, and polished tiles with water absorption less than 0.5% are also vitrified tiles (above 0.5%, only polished tiles are not vitrified tiles), and then vitrified tiles can be obtained by mirror polishing, because their hardness is relatively high and they are not easy to scratch. However, due to the rapid progress of ceramic technology, most tiles can achieve low water absorption, so vitrified tiles, vitrified polished tiles and polished tiles on the market are actually similar products. The lower the water absorption, the better the vitrification degree and the better the physical and chemical properties of the product.
Glazed tiles: As the name implies, glazed tiles are tiles with glazed surfaces. According to different raw materials, it can be divided into ceramic glazed tiles and porcelain glazed tiles. Ceramic glazed tile, made of pottery
Fired from soil, it has high water absorption and relatively low strength. Its main feature is that its back color is red. Porcelain glazed tiles, made of porcelain clay, have low water absorption and relatively high strength. Its main feature is that the back color is grayish white. It should be noted that the comparison of water absorption and strength mentioned above is relative. At present, some ceramic glazed tiles have higher water absorption and strength than ceramic glazed tiles. According to the different luster, glazed tiles can be divided into smooth glazed tiles and matte glazed tiles. Smooth glazed tile, suitable for making "clean" effect; Matte glazed tiles are suitable for making "fashionable" effects. Glazed brick is the most common brick in decoration. Because of its rich color patterns and strong antifouling ability, it is widely used in wall and floor decoration.

When decorating a house, you should buy tiles. There is also some knowledge about how to buy value-for-money and satisfactory tiles. Generally speaking, the principle of choosing ceramic tiles is: look, listen, three drops of water and four feet.
First look at the appearance. The color of ceramic tiles should be uniform, the surface smoothness and flatness should be better, the periphery should be regular and the pattern should be complete. Take out four or five pieces from a box to see if there are any defects such as color difference, deformation and lack of edges and corners.
Second, listen to the sound. Tap with a hard object, the clearer the sound, the higher the porcelain degree and the better the quality. You can also hold a corner of the tile with your left thumb, forefinger and middle finger and hang it down easily. Tap the middle and lower part of the tile with the index finger of your right hand. If the sound is crisp and pleasant, it is the top grade; if the sound is dull and stagnant, it is the inferior grade.
Third, the dripping test. You can drop water on the back of the tile to see seepage velocity after the water is dispersed. Generally speaking, the slower the water absorption, the greater the density of tiles; On the contrary, the faster the water absorption, the rarer the density and the better the internal quality.
Fourth, the ruler. The higher the accuracy of the side length of ceramic tile, the better the effect after paving. Buying high-quality tiles is not only convenient for construction, but also saves working hours and accessories. Measure the size and periphery of each tile with a tape measure, and the one with high accuracy is the top grade.
In addition, observing its hardness, the ceramic tile is top grade, with good hardness, strong toughness and no breakage. Scrape each other with the edges and corners of tile fragments to see whether the broken fragments are fine or loose, brittle or soft, leaving scratches or loose powder. If the former is top grade, the latter is poor quality.
Whether the size is standard or not is the key to judge the quality of ceramic tiles. Use a tape measure or caliper to measure whether the diagonal and four sides of the tile are consistent in size and thickness. A good ceramic tile has a crisp sound, indicating a high porcelain content. If the sound is "click" and stubble breaks, it means that there is a crack in the brick.
Good tiles are easy to be installed by the master, and the installed effect is standardized.
