Marco Polo tiles
You who have had decoration experience must remember the experience of buying ceramic tiles . There are many kinds of tiles with different materials, craftsmanship, and designs on the market, and the sales staff will also select some new terms that are eye-catching to introduce to consumers: polished tiles , polished glazed tiles, all-ceramic half tiles, antique tiles , cement tiles Wood grain tiles , small tiles ... Don't look at the real thing, just listening to these names is enough to dazzle.
What are the differences in raw materials and craftsmanship of these tiles? Can these various names reflect the quality of ceramic tiles? How should consumers buy according to actual needs?
A Don't be fooled by the colorful names
The naming of tiles can be derived from a number of distinctly different names according to the characteristics of materials, craftsmanship, appearance, etc.-for example, the tiles sold on the market are called " glazed tiles " from the material, and "throw" "Glazed tiles" are "imitation marble tiles" in appearance. Therefore, when formulating ceramic tile names, manufacturers will pick up high-end names. Therefore, consumers should not be confused by the various names when buying ceramic tiles.
Not only that, the upgrading of ceramic tile products is very fast, better performance materials, more sophisticated craftsmanship, and more beautiful textures are constantly on the market, and the ceramic tile names are constantly updated. Some high-end tile names do not indicate good quality.
Due to the variety of ceramic tile names and the rapid product replacement, consumers do not need to judge the quality of ceramic tiles through different materials and processes. For most consumers, go to the standard building materials market and choose a ceramic tile manufacturer with a good reputation to buy directly. For large-scale ceramic tile manufacturers, the standards set by them are more detailed than the national standard, and the larger the brand, the stricter the standard, and the after-sales service is also guaranteed.
The reporter learned that most of the owners judged that the tiles are still "face value", if you can take into account the tile's hardness, water absorption and other indicators, it is enough to buy good quality tiles. In addition, pay special attention to avoiding radioactive element tiles when buying tiles. Radioactive elements can make rocks more green or red, but it does not mean that all red or green rocks contain radioactive elements; if the white rocks contain radioactive elements such as potassium, rare earth, uranium, etc., the radioactivity must be higher than other ordinary rocks .
B Kitchen and bathroom mainly choose non-slip wear - resistant bricks
The tiled rooms mainly include bathrooms, kitchens, and living rooms. Among them, kitchen and bathroom floor tiles must be non-slip and stain-resistant, and the wall tiles have a high water absorption rate.
Although there are friction coefficient and wear resistance to define the anti-skid degree of a brick, not every tile has been tested and there is a test report, so pay special attention when selecting. It should be noted that matte tiles are definitely more slip-resistant than bright tiles, and you can feel them when you touch them. Rough tiles are wear-resistant and tiles with uneven texture are better. The reporter visited the market and learned that the anti-skid bricks on the market are mainly full- body bricks , which have plain colors and flowering. For example, ceramic mosaic has a good anti-skid effect, with many seams, roughness, and large friction, and is used by many families in the bathroom.
Because the kitchen and bathroom have to be cooked, bathed, etc., the quality of the tiles must be good so that they cannot fall off easily. Within the specified range, the lower the water absorption rate, the lighter the ceramic tile and cement mortar are , the tighter the combination is, and the less likely it is to fall off.
Among them, the most critical indicator is water absorption. According to the different water absorption rate, ceramic tiles also have different names, for example: the water absorption rate is less than 0.5% is called porcelain brick, the ceramic tile is higher than 10%, and there is stoneware between the ceramic tile and the ceramic tile. Quality, fine porcelain, etc. "The old method of detecting the water absorption rate of tiles in the past cannot be universally applied. For example, as long as the water drops are placed on the back of the tiles, the water absorption rate can be judged by looking at the water absorption rate. Now many tiles are glazed tiles. The layer of non-absorbent glaze, only measuring the water absorption rate of the back material is not significant. "Industry sources said.
So in simple terms, from the production process point of view, ceramic tiles with low water absorption rate are often because the machine presses tighter and the density is high quality. Therefore, when visiting the building materials market, you can judge which tiles have higher water absorption rate by taking two wall tiles with the same specifications as the weight.
C Carefully choose " microcrystalline stone " in the living room
In addition to the use of ceramic tiles in the kitchen and bathroom, living room tiles are also widely used by many families. Floor tiles are easier to manage than wooden floors and carpets . The common tiles on the market that are suitable for laying in the living room are: polished tiles with high hardness, microcrystalline stone tiles, etc.
Today's decoration designer Mr. Wang suggested that the living room is the area where family members and visitors move most frequently and accumulate dirt easily, so the selection of ceramic tiles pays more attention to stain resistance, it is not easy to penetrate colored liquids, and it is not easy to show dirt. The ceramic tile is not resistant to stains, and it only takes a long-term owner to know that nothing can be seen after a few minutes of testing. For example, use an oil-based pen to draw a picture on the tile and then wipe it off, or drip ink and then wipe it off, it is not possible to judge whether the tile is resistant to dirt.
When choosing, owners who like bright tiles can choose from polished tiles, polished glazed tiles, fully polished glazed tiles, porcelain polished tiles, etc. These tiles have the characteristics of high hardness, high density, and low water absorption.
"It is important to note that the industry that likes bright tiles mainly chooses microcrystalline stone tiles carefully. This kind of tiles has a high brightness. The glazed surface of the tiles has more microcrystalline glass layers, which can make the room look brighter, but this kind of The surface of the brick is vitrified, and the hardness is only 5-6. If the sand is stained on the sole of the shoe and walks on this tile, the tile will soon be worn away. "Ms. Zhang, Marco Polo ceramic tile sales staff said.
