The tiles are blown up by the merchants in the end how to distinguish?

Walking into a tile store, the shopper said to you: this is all-ceramic, that is the body ...... This kind of is bright, that kind of is soft light ...... Then give you say which kind of how how good.

What are the tiles in the end? What are their advantages and disadvantages? What are the precautions for use?

Take a close look at this good homework to buy tiles, not afraid of being led by the guide to lead the nose ~

/ 01 by the embryo

Everyone on the market is most accessible to the embryo to distinguish between the three categories: porcelain tile, through the body, all-ceramic.

Features:

●Not many colors, compared to the full ceramic and through the body, can be very good to reduce investment costs, and quite durable.

●Paste the wall only need to use cement river sand, can not use tile adhesive. It is not easy to fall off and save paving cost.

●There is a certain degree of water absorption, the density of the brick embryo is not high.

Note:

● Porcelain tiles can only be pasted on the wall, not on the floor.

● In the touch corner of the time do not touch too thin, because in the principle of thermal expansion and contraction is very easy to touch the corner of the kind of thin places to squeeze off the corner.

How do we distinguish between good and bad tiles?

In fact, the choice of all tiles can be compared from the bottom embryo and glaze.

★Undergrowth★?

The bottom embryo determines the quality of the porcelain tile, whether it is durable or not, and whether it is worth buying. Embryo mainly look at the absorption rate, the higher the density, the higher the hardness, the smaller the absorption rate, the better the quality of the brick, the less thermal expansion and contraction cracking; of course, the hardness is too high it will become particularly brittle, transportation or paving on the way is very easy to break.

★Glaze★

Tile density is not a big difference in the case, the glaze is good or bad to determine the price of porcelain tile. Glaze has three look:

A look at the anti-penetration glaze

Two look at the glaze show pattern: very cheap porcelain tile is only patterned glaze, there is no anti-penetration glaze, the porcelain tile in the paving of the water before soaking will be discolored.

Three look at the brightness of the porcelain tile: a good bright porcelain tile surface belongs to the mirror glaze, it looks is very bright; ordinary a little bit of the surface of the porcelain tile feel is uneven. Uneven, you can also look at the light reflection, look at the shape of the light reflection on the surface of the porcelain tile, the shape of the clarity and brightness is directly proportional.

Summary: porcelain tile is suitable for strict control of budget and cost of small baby, available in the outdoor or storage room and some other places. Can choose the quality and color of the porcelain tile are very good, but also can be used with confidence.

Throughout

Features:

●Nice quality.

●Expensive.

There is a difference between "real" and "fake" through-body tiles in the ceramic tile world.

★True through-body★?

That is, from the face, to the center, and then to the bottom, are the same pattern, just like stone. Most of these through-body tiles are solid colors.

☉The surface is solid

Advantages: very wear-resistant, strong hardness.

Disadvantages: not good to take care of the health; part is the same as stone, there will be the case of penetration, personally is not very recommended to use this kind of.

Warm tips: refuse white! Because the white color is supposed to be very intolerant of dirt, coupled with the surface of the through-body without glaze, cleaning up minutes to force the death of obsessive-compulsive disorder! So choose through the body, choose a darker color, dirty at least can not see ah!

★False through the body★

It is in the bottom of the tile to do a very like the surface of the pattern and color of a carrier, and is not the same thing as the real through the body that is connected together.

Such a false through the body still belongs to the range of glazed floor tiles, if the use of their own home furnishings, then the full glaze and the so-called diamond marble or 3d inkjet floor tiles are the same thing, not through the body of the marble to be better.

Many salespeople will use the gimmick of through-body marble tiles to increase the price of the brick. Recognize whether it is a through-body tile is very simple, because the through-body is directly clay fired and polished. So there is no glaze on the surface, so if you don't want to spend that wasted money, polish your eyes well and look down the side more often~

☉True-Throughout

☉False-Throughout

All-ceramics

Features:

●High density, low to negligible water absorption rate.

●Many flower colors.

About all-ceramic, we can know more about these:

★Flowering colors★?

Most of the all-ceramic has broken through the quality barrier, so the flower color is good-looking or not directly determine the price of the all-tile. Inside the flower color there is also a very important is the texture, the texture is profound certainly the price will be relatively high. Hand feel can be very good to feel out, because the hand feel this thing really no way to feel out with pictures or video, so here with the wood grain to give you a comparison to come:

☉Surface with wood texture

☉Surface without wood grain details

★Type ★?

There is a wide variety of all-ceramic tiles, antique tiles have all-ceramic, soft tiles have all-ceramic, and so on. Some all-ceramic tiles may look the same, but a closer look will reveal that they are glossy, matte, and all-matte. Matte feel will feel a little rough, but soft feel like a baby's skin, delicate and tender, of course, the price difference is self-evident.

☉Soft terrazzo tiles

Note:

●All-porcelain belongs to the floor tiles on the wall, the floor tiles do not have a lot of water absorption, so when paving with tile adhesive.

Here to recommend two better tile adhesive brand: JCDecaux (domestic special dry mortar industry leader), Mapei (one of the industry's highly influential enterprises), of course, with tile adhesive is also to add paving fees.

/02 according to the tile surface

Glossy surface

The most glossy tiles on the market, the surface of the formation of reflections like mirrors, this glossy material in a lot of kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms will be selected.

Advantages: good care, the wall with a rag directly wipe, the floor with a mop directly drag.

Disadvantages: non-slip effect is relatively poor.

Glossy also divided into a variety of glass tiles, diamond marble, through the body marble, microcrystalline stone and so on. Here is a brief mention of two:

Glass tile: the surface is polished by machine, similar to the stone process. Diamond marble and through-body marble and so on, I collectively call them glazed. Glazed is just now and through the body to do a comparison of the kind, the surface has a layer of glaze.

Microcrystalline stone: even less technical content, frankly speaking, is the surface of the tile plated with a layer of 2 mm or so of glass. What is the biggest problem of glass? Is easy to wear flowers. The same reason can be proved, microcrystalline stone biggest problem is also easy to wear flowers, so now basically out of the market, just in some background wall design will be used to.

Soft surface

Surface is not as bright as glossy, but there is a certain degree of gloss, the industry is called 70 degrees of light. This brightness is closer to the brightness of the stone, is a very good choice for choosing marbled tiles.

There is also a soft light is about 5 degrees, looks like matte, but in fact the surface is very tender to touch, there is a drop of brightness. The advantages and disadvantages of the soft line are similar to the glossy ones.

Matte surface

It is the kind of tile with non-reflective surface, mostly used in the kitchen bathroom wall floor.

Advantages: more non-slip wear-resistant.

Disadvantages: cleaning and hygiene than the first two laborious a little. Matte there are pure flat matte tiles and concave-convex surface matte tiles.

Convex matte tile process is more complex, the price is generally higher than the plane of the matte tile, the most on the market is the rock slate tile.

Semi-throw

Very popular semi-throw.

It is in the production of the surface of the tiles into a concave-convex kind, and then take it to be polished, raised position thrown to the light is bright, concave not thrown to the light of the position is matte, texture is very good. The production process is also relatively complex, of course, the price is generally not cheap.

Other sense of the surface will not be introduced one by one, basically in the market can not be contacted, interested can ask the lady ~

After reading the above classification there is no deeper understanding of the types of tiles?

Later you can think of the embryo and glaze you want, and then go to the store to go straight to the color of the choice of la ~ no longer have to worry about the guide blowing dizziness.
