The bricks in the kitchen don't need to be the same as those in the living room. Because the kitchen and living room are two different functional areas, the requirements for bricks are also different. The bricks in the kitchen should be non-slip, waterproof and easy to clean, while the bricks in the living room are not so demanding. Just choose according to the decoration style and your own preferences! So the bricks in the kitchen don't need to be the same as those in the living room.

How to choose kitchen tiles

1, size

The kitchen belongs to the area where water is often used, and it is easy to accumulate water. Slope should be considered when laying floor tiles, but tiles that are too big cannot have slope, so try to choose smaller specifications for kitchen tiles. Generally speaking, the specifications of tiles and floor tiles are mainly 300×300mm, and the specifications of wall tiles are 300×450mm. In order to reflect the integrity, floor tiles and wall tiles can also adopt the same size.

Step 2 color

The kitchen is a high-temperature operating environment. The overall color of tiles should be light or cold to extend the visual space and minimize the sense of oppression. Light color can dilute the discomfort caused by high temperature. Suggested colors of kitchen tiles: white, light green, light gray and other cool colors.

3. Non-slip

The kitchen floor is inevitably wet. In order to avoid slipping and falling, the anti-skid performance of floor tiles must be put in the first place. The kitchen floor is generally made of non-slip bricks or bricks with rough surface and high non-slip coefficient.

4, cleaning difficulty

The walls and floors of the kitchen are very easy to get dirty because of oil pollution, and it is especially difficult to clean after being dirty. So when we choose kitchen wall and floor tiles, we must consider the anti-pollution ability of these tiles. You can choose glazed tiles, which are glazed on the surface and fired at high temperature and high pressure, and have strong anti-pollution and anti-seepage ability.

5, wear resistance

Because there is water in the kitchen, I often mop the floor. If the wear resistance of ceramic tile is poor, the surface of ceramic tile may be black and dull after a long time. Therefore, it is recommended to choose ceramic tiles with high wear resistance in the kitchen. Matte glazed tiles or whole-body tiles are more suitable, with strong wear resistance and non-slip.

6, water absorption

Water absorption refers to the porosity on the back of ceramic tile. Kitchen tiles are recommended to choose tiles with relatively high water absorption rate to ensure the firmness of pasting and avoid hollowing out and falling off of tiles.
