In this era, all kinds of strange marketing methods, every place where capital permeates, there will be invisible places. In the past, it was often said that seeing is believing, but now what we can see is not necessarily true. Our commonly used Baidu and Putian hospitals are still searching for headlines, right? Take what we often say to go shopping, and everyone will think of buying big brands at the first time, which is guaranteed. This is really understandable, but when you buy branded products, your goods still bear the expenses of publicity and promotion, which is a bad place for everyone to think of the brand, especially in the real place of home decoration. The cost performance is also a point to be considered. Not everyone is a local tyrant, so how can we find those good things and good shops in this era when all walks of life are blooming? It is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish. Today, taking ceramics as an example, how to distinguish a good ceramic tile
First of all, from the types of ceramic tiles
1. Polished tiles
Advantages: After polishing, the original stone is polished bright and clean, and it is more transparent like a mirror. Using polished tiles can make the whole space look brighter
Disadvantages: polished tiles are smooth, so they are not slippery, that is, once there is water on the ground, they are very slippery, which is why you can see that the stones laid on the stairs and other places in the building are not polished into light, but matt, and only in this way can they be slippery. At the same time, poor polishing tile liquid is easy to penetrate and difficult to wipe.
2. Glazed tiles (commonly used in kitchens and bathrooms)
Advantages: the color and patterns on the surface are more abundant, and the glaze layer has very good stain resistance.
Disadvantages: The glazed tile is composed of two parts: the bottom blank and the glaze layer with a thin surface layer. When it is used as a functional tile, its flexural strength is worse than that of the whole tile, and the glaze layer on the surface will be damaged by bumping, which will affect the appearance and antifouling performance.
3. advantages of vitrified brick
: vitrified brick is an enhanced polishing process, and the surface is usually bright without polishing treatment, which can solve the problem that polished brick is easy to get dirty to some extent.
Disadvantages: Polished tiles and vitrified tiles are beautiful because of their bright surfaces, and at the same time, they have high wear resistance, but they are simple in color, easy to get dirty, non-slip and easy to penetrate into colored liquids. These two tiles are generally relatively large, and are mainly used in living rooms, doorways and other places, and rarely used in watery places such as bathrooms and kitchens.
4. Antique brick
Advantages: Antique brick is not difficult to clean. After thousands of tons of hydraulic press pressing, it is sintered at a high temperature of thousands of degrees, which makes it have high strength and strong wear resistance. After careful development, the antique brick has the characteristics of waterproof, anti-slip and corrosion resistance. Antique brick imitates the old style and attracts people's attention with its unique classical charm. In order to reflect the vicissitudes of time and the thick history, antique brick creates a nostalgic atmosphere through styles, colors and patterns.
Disadvantages: When choosing colors, don't choose those colors that are easy to go out of date. The antifouling ability is slightly worse than that of polished tiles.
5. Full-body brick
Advantages: the style is simple and affordable, and its hard, wear-resistant and non-slip characteristics are especially suitable for laying in balconies, terraces and other areas. The hardness after surface polishing can be compared with that of stone, and the water absorption is low.
Disadvantages: The whole brick is a kind of wear-resistant brick. Although there are still varieties such as infiltrated whole brick, its color is relatively inferior to glazed tile. Anti-skid test is also needed before purchase.
6. Ceramic tile
Advantages: acid resistance, alkali resistance, wear resistance, water impermeability, strong compression resistance and not easy to break. The color tone is soft, simple, elegant, beautiful and generous, with good chemical stability, cold and hot stability, no discoloration, no dust accumulation, light bulk density and firm bonding.
Disadvantages: There are too many gaps in the mosaic, which is easy to get dirty and difficult to clean. Try to avoid using the mosaic in the kitchen.
quality parameters of ceramic tile
1. Hardness of ceramic tile
Hardness: 1-7, polished tile is generally 7, glazed tile is generally 5-6, microcrystalline stone is generally about 5, and ceramic tile is generally 3-4. 2. Water absorption of ceramic tile
National standard: interior wall tile: 11-21%. If the tile absorbs water faster, it means that the quality of the tile is worse. The actual effect of 11-21% water absorption is to pour a cup of 1.51 ml water behind the tile, and after 3 seconds, all the water will penetrate into the brick body.
3. Surface flatness
National standard: 1.5%
Smoothness is the general term of central curvature and warpage. Among them, the central curvature refers to the distance that the center point deviates from the plane when three of the four corners of the ceramic tile are on the same plane. Warpage refers to the distance that the fourth corner of a ceramic tile deviates from a plane when the three corners are on the same plane. If the error is within 1.5%, the product is qualified. Ceramics
When purchasing tiles, ordinary consumers can put two tiles of the same model opposite to each other, then fold them in half with ordinary 157g coated paper and insert them into the gap. If they can easily enter, the flatness of the tiles is defective.
4. Wear resistance
National standard: it is agreed through negotiation that the wear resistance of ceramic tiles is divided into five degrees, from low to high, and five degrees belong to super wear resistance, which is generally not used for home decoration, and the tiles for home decoration are selected between one degree and four degrees.
The state has no clear regulations on the wear resistance of ceramic tiles. Consumers can scrape ceramic tiles with sharp objects when buying ceramic tiles to see if there are scratches. If there are scratches, it means that poor glazing will make people slip and polish easily, and the tiles will not be cleaned if they are dirty.
