What is the difference between good and bad tiles
Tile selection method
Home decoration to buy tiles, how to buy value for money, desirable tiles have some knowledge, in general, the principle of buying tiles is: a look, two listen, three drops of water, four feet.
First, look at the appearance. The color of the tile should be uniform, the surface finish and the flatness is better, the surrounding rules, the pattern is complete, from a box out of four or five pieces to see whether the color difference, deformation, missing angle and other defects.
Second, listen to the sound. With a hard light flick, the sound the more crisp, the higher the degree of porcelain, the better the quality. You can also left thumb, index finger and middle finger clip tiles corner, easily hanging down, with the right hand index finger tapping the lower part of the tile, such as the sound clear, sweet for the top grade, such as the sound boring, stagnant turbidity for the next product.
Third, the drip test. Can be the water droplets in the back of the tile, watching the water spread after the infiltration of the speed, in general, the slower the water, indicating that the greater the density of the tile; the other hand, the faster water, indicating the density of sparse, the inherent quality of the former is excellent.
Four feet The higher the accuracy of the tile side, the better the effect after paving, buy high-quality tiles is not only easy to construction, but also save man-hours and accessories. With the tape measure the size of each tile around the difference between the high accuracy of the top grade.
In addition, observe the hardness, the tiles to good hardness, toughness, not easy to rot on top grade. To the edge of the tile fragments scratches each other to see the broken pieces of broken pieces is fine or loose, is hard, brittle or softer, is left scratches, or scattered powder, if the former is the top grade, the latter is quality difference.
Brief introduction of tiles and brick selection
First, from the appearance of the quality of the quality of the tile: size is the standard to determine the quality of the key to the tile, with a tape or caliper to measure the diagonal and four sides of the tile size and thickness are uniform. Color difference, random out of the box to check a few, one by one comparison. There is a slight difference is a normal phenomenon. (Different batches of tiles generally contain color, it is recommended to buy a one-time purchase of the amount.) Can not have cracks, tiles appear cracks in the direction of the main lower uranium cracks, surface cracking, the general quality of the product less phenomenon. Brick to be flat, can not have bumps. The uranium layer of the brick is bright, but there are inclusions in the uranium layer or uranium layer.
Followed by the inherent quality of the tile, first look at the water absorption: drop of water on the brick, see the water penetration speed. Good tiles, water droplets will roll on the brick. Listen to the sound: good tiles, sound crisp sound, indicating high porcelain content. If the sound "blah" with a stubble sound, indicating that the brick contains cracks.
At present, there are many varieties of tiles on the market, there are more than a dozen categories, such as seepage through the whole body brick, glass turn, anti-skid tiles and the like, usually can be divided into the following.
Glazed tiles: tiles on the surface of the brick. This brick is divided into two categories: one is made of clay, because of high water absorption and must burn glaze, so it should be called "tile", the strength of this brick is low, and now rarely used ; The other is fired with porcelain clay, in order to pursue the decorative effect also burned glaze, this tile structure is dense, high strength, low water absorption, strong stain resistance, the price is slightly higher than the ceramic firing tiles. Porcelain clay fired glazed tiles, is currently widely used in home decoration, 80% of the buyers are using this tile as a ground decoration materials. The trick of resolving these two bricks is simple: the clay is fired behind the clay, the clay is fired behind the brick. In the ceramic tiles made of clay, the Spanish production of wall tiles because of its unique decorative effect, is currently very popular in Beijing, but the price of this brick is higher, generally used in high-end home decoration.
Quintana Brick: This is a glazed porcelain tile that has good skid resistance and abrasion resistance. Generally what we call "slippery tiles", most of the whole body bricks. Because this brick price is moderate, so by the consumer favorite. Which "seepage through the whole body brick," the beautiful pattern, it is put it down.
Polished tiles: the whole body after the polished polished polished tiles, the hardness of this brick is very high, so very wearable.
