1. Determination of specifications of kitchen wall and floor tiles

At present, the common specifications of kitchen floor tiles are mainly 311×311 and 331×331, and the specifications should not be too large. If it is too large, it is difficult to level the floor and install floor drains. It is best to choose glazed tiles with matt and non-slip materials to prevent the soup in the kitchen from making the ground too slippery, which may cause safety problems if you are not careful. Therefore, the choice of floor tile anti-skid is the first.

2. Selection of the color of kitchen wall and floor tiles

Most of the walls in the kitchen are bright and light-colored wall tiles, because the kitchen gives people the feeling of being clean, tidy, relaxed and pleasant, and the color that is too dark will be somewhat depressing. If you consider using matt as the wall of the kitchen, you'd better choose a flat surface instead of those with a concave-convex feeling, mainly because it's not easy to scrub.

3. The back of the cabinet should also be covered with tiles

Nowadays, many families will buy complete sets of cabinets. Don't think that the space blocked behind the cupboard can't be seen anyway, so let the wall be exposed, but should also be covered with tiles behind the cupboard. First, ceramic tiles are the best protection for the waterproof layer of kitchen walls; Secondly, ceramic tiles will greatly reduce the erosion of kitchen moisture on cabinets and prevent cabinets from being moldy and deformed. Thirdly, tiling is beneficial to leveling the cabinet with the ground and the wall, making the joint between the cabinet and the wall and the ground coincide, maintaining the beauty of the cabinet and protecting the service life of the cabinet.

It is understood that wall tiles are ceramic products, while floor tiles are porcelain products, and their physical characteristics are different. The water absorption of ceramic bricks is about 11%, which is many times higher than that of porcelain bricks with only 1.5%. Floor tiles have low water absorption and are suitable for floor laying. Wall tiles are glazed pottery with high moisture content, and its back is rough, which is beneficial for adhesive to stick it on the wall. Floor tiles should not be stuck firmly on the wall, and wall tiles will absorb too much water when used on the ground, which is difficult to clean. Both the kitchen and the bathroom belong to places with high water vapor, so it is not appropriate to mix wall and floor tiles in the kitchen and bathroom space.

4. Principles of using tiles and waistlines

The kitchen can choose a set of fancy tiles to decorate the plain walls, adding a pleasant and lively atmosphere for housewives to cook. When choosing tiles, it is more important to have the concept of "decoration" of tiles. Generally speaking, the main function of tiles is to increase the effect and set off the atmosphere. A kitchen can choose two or three tiles. If there are too many tiles, it will be cumbersome, dazzling and chaotic. The design and color are mainly bright and lively, which can highlight the atmosphere of the kitchen. As for the waistline, I personally suggest not to use it in the kitchen, mainly because the space between the cupboard and the hanging cabinet is small, which is generally about 75cm. If you add the waistline, you will feel a little cumbersome, and secondly, you can reduce unnecessary expenses.
