1. Understand the category of tiles
The classification of tiles must be clarified. only by understanding the types of tiles can we not be fooled when choosing tiles. Ceramic tiles are divided into two categories, namely glazed tiles and vitrified tiles. Glazed tiles are generally used in kitchens and bathrooms, while vitrified tiles are mainly used in areas such as living rooms and bedrooms.
But the professional angle is divided according to the water absorption rate of the tiles, there are five categories:
The first category is porcelain tiles (water absorption E≤0.5%). The market mainly includes polished tiles, supermarket tiles, glazed matte, fully polished glazed, and microcrystalline jade floor tiles.
The second category is ceramic tiles: (E) greater than 9%, less than 18%, the market mainly has glazed bright tiles and matt glazed ceramic wall tiles.
The third category is stoneware tiles: (E) greater than 0.5%, less than or equal to 3%, generally suitable for balconies and exterior wall tiles.
The fourth category is fine stoneware bricks: (E) ceramic tiles that are greater than 3% and less than or equal to 6%. Generally applicable to exterior walls and floor tiles on construction sites.
The fifth category is stoneware bricks: (E) ceramic tiles greater than 6% and less than or equal to 10%. Suitable for indoor floor tiles.
In general, the lower the water absorption, the better the quality, the better the decorative effect, and the more comfortable to use.
2. Choose suitable material
In areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, and balconies, most floor tiles use matt non-slip tiles to prevent the soup from falling off the ground and slippery. Therefore, the choice of floor tiles is the first to choose non-slip tiles. At present, the more popular specifications are mainly 300×300 and 600×600. The living room, aisle and outdoor aisle generally choose specifications above 600×600, and the material selection surface is relatively wide, which is mainly determined according to the consumer's economic affordability and the indoor length and width dimensions.
It is best for the owners to choose ceramic tiles with better materials, because the decoration of ceramic tiles is different from the decoration of wooden floors. It is very troublesome to re-decorate the ceramic tiles.
